Run Customer.io audits from the terminal

Pipe the output of `list_automated_campaigns` into your shell scripts for quick audits. It provides the campaign IDs and trigger types you need for CI/CD. This allows you to verify your messaging state without leaving your terminal. It's built for engineers who prefer CLI workflows.

Get Customer.io metrics in Claude Code

Use `get_campaign_performance` to print engagement stats directly to your console. You can then log these numbers to your internal tracking systems. It works for both broadcasts and automated campaigns. Just specify the ID and let the terminal return the raw counts.

Manage identities with Claude Code

Execute `identify_customer` to update profile attributes via the command line. This is useful for scripted profile migrations or mass updates. You can also run `list_customers` to verify current states. It keeps your identity management entirely within your dev environment.
