Query Customer Block

Use this block to look up a customer's core profile and profile extension attributes. Use the CustomerID to specify which customer you want to return data for. Composer stores the returned results in an application Property variable. For an example of how to use this block, see the Getting and Using E-mail Addresses topic.

The Query Customer block has the following properties. The behavior of some properties can vary depending on whether you are in offline or online mode.
