How to create a 30% order discount code for 24 hours with Shopify API

How to create a 30% order discount code for 24 hours with Shopify API

Hey guys, need help with Shopify API - Price Rule (Discount). 

I'm building a chatbot flow with Zapier and want to create a 24 hours, 30% off discount code only when user clicks "I want discount" button. 

I'm a little lost on how do I do it.
How do I create a discount that is set for 24 hours from the time user clicks the button?

All the guides just reference creating a discount code without a time limit or time limit from the day I create the price rule (discount), that, how I understand, needs to be created prior.

Any help would be appreciated!

I went withGraphQL API and Zapier Weebhooks, and wrote the following in the Data field:

 

{
  "query": "mutation discountCodeBasicCreate($basicCodeDiscount: DiscountCodeBasicInput!) { discountCodeBasicCreate(basicCodeDiscount: $basicCodeDiscount) { codeDiscountNode { codeDiscount { ... on DiscountCodeBasic { title codes(first: 10) { nodes { code } } startsAt endsAt customerSelection { ... on DiscountCustomerAll { allCustomers } } customerGets { value { ... on DiscountPercentage { percentage } } items { ... on AllDiscountItems { allItems } } } appliesOncePerCustomer } } } userErrors { field code message } } }",
  "variables": {
    "basicCodeDiscount": {
      "title": "30% off Baby Model 24 Hrs Only",
      "code": "{{_GEN_1707882510278__randomCode}}",
      "startsAt": "{{_GEN_1707882510278__startDate}}",
      "endsAt": "{{_GEN_1707882510278__endDate}}",
      "customerSelection": {
        "all": true
      },
      "customerGets": {
        "value": {
          "percentage": 0.3
        },
        "items": {
          "all": true
        }
      },
      "appliesOncePerCustomer": true
    }
  }
}

 


Where Code, StartsAt, EndsAt are pulled from previous step generated by JS. 
Looks like this:
"code": CODE3753
"startsAt": 2024-02-13T21:17:32.991Z
"endsAt": 2024-02-14T21:17:32.991Z

I tried static data as well.

Headers:
Content-Type
application/json

X-Shopify-Access-Token
shXXpat_fd94cc6303bc0adcc0895bacXXXXX

Added: write/read discount permissions in custom app.

API Version:
admin/api/2024-01/graphql.json 

Result:
Failed to create a request in Webhooks by Zapier
Bad Request (HTTP Status Code: 400) 😢

install graphql as app inside your shopify store, and test the query there, then you can figure out what the problem is easily.
