How to Use It

To use the "Customer.io Automation" skill on the Happycapy Skills platform, follow these steps:

1. Connect Your Customer.io Account

   You must connect your Customer.io account through the Composio MCP server at https://rube.app/mcp. This server acts as a secure bridge between your Happycapy Skills instance and the Customer.io API.

   import composio
   
   composio.connect_skill(
       skill_id="customerio-automation",
       mcp_url="https://rube.app/mcp",
       credentials={
           "site_id": "<your_customerio_site_id>",
           "api_key": "<your_customerio_api_key>"
       }
   )
   

2. Trigger Actions

   Once connected, you can perform a variety of Customer.io operations. For example, to add or update a customer profile:

   composio.run_skill(
       "customerio-automation",
       "update_profile",
       data={
           "user_id": "user_123",
           "attributes": {
               "email": "john.doe@example.com",
               "first_name": "John",
               "last_name": "Doe",
               "plan": "Pro"
           }
       }
   )
   

   To trigger a campaign or send a transactional email:

   composio.run_skill(
       "customerio-automation",
       "trigger_campaign",
       data={
           "campaign_id": "cmp_456",
           "user_id": "user_123",
           "data": {
               "discount_code": "SPRING2024"
           }
       }
   )
   

3. Combine With Other Skills

   The real power comes from integrating this skill with other Happycapy Skills. For example, you can listen for a webhook from your payment platform and automatically update the user's status in Customer.io.

   def on_payment_success(payment_event):
       user_id = payment_event["user_id"]
       composio.run_skill(
           "customerio-automation",
           "update_profile",
           data={
               "user_id": user_id,
               "attributes": {
                   "last_payment_date": payment_event["date"],
                   "subscription_status": "active"
               }
           }
       )
