Using HTTP Request Step in Shopify Flow to Action Shopify API

[Msabato]

This seems like it can be done but there’s no documentation I can find other than basics for using the step. What authentication would be needed? I tried creating a private app and using those credentials in the url but can’t get anything to fire.

Hey @Msabato 

So to successfully send that Http Request as an action via the Shopify Flow app, you'd need the following in the headers for auth.

Content-type - application/json

X-Shopify-Access-Token - your private app's basic auth password

It should work as long as those credentials are correct and the endpoint URL & request body are both valid I'd say. Hope that helps!
