Get fulfillment order data

You can use the Get fulfillment order data action to retrieve fulfillment order information from your store.

Configuration

Fields

The Get fulfillment order data action contains the following fields, which are used to build the query:

Query string

This is an example query for getting fulfillment orders that are currently on hold:

status:ON_HOLD

The status variable is a filter available on the Fulfillment Orders query and can be used multiple times or combined with other variables.

When querying data, it's helpful to know:

• List of available fulfillment order filters
• Queries must follow a certain syntax
• Query field names for all queries can be found in the developer docs for the QueryRoot object.
• Query field values are not always documented. In some cases, the values can be found by looking at the API docs. Alternatively, you can often find the field values in the URLs in the Admin when you filter. For example, to find some Order query values, filter the Orders page in the Admin, and then check the URL.
• You can run or test a query in your shop by using the Shopify GraphiQL app.
• Be mindful of what happens if your query fails. Often the API will return all results (instead of none).

Returned data

All Get data actions return a list of anywhere from 0 and 100 resources. Depending your use case, you might want to use this data in various ways:

• If you need to handle each list item individually, such as to add a tag for each, then you can use the For each action.
• If you need to aggregate data, such as count how many results were returned, then you can use the Count or Sum actions.
• If you need output the list, such as send an email with all the items, then you can use returned data directly in susbsequent actions.

To access the returned data in steps that follow this action, use the variable named Get fulfillment order data, which is a list of fulfillment orders. You can use this variable in both conditions and actions. For example, you can send the list of fulfillment orders in a Send internal email action like this:

{% for fulfillment_order in GetFulfillmentOrderData %}
- Order: {{ fulfillment_order.order.name }} Location: {{ fulfillment_order.assignedLocation.name }}
{% endfor %}

Triggers

You can use this action in any workflow, including the Scheduled time trigger. In a workflow that uses the Scheduled time trigger, the workflow starts at a time that you've specified, rather than as a result of an event. Because there is no specific event in your store or from an app that starts the workflow, there is no data automatically included.

Example

In this example workflow, a workflow is scheduled to run every day at 4:34 pm. The Get fulfillment order data action is used to collect data for held orders. A list of the held orders is sent via email to people working for your shop.
