How can I correctly use GraphQL in a webhook?

[robtarr]

I'm adding a webhook, and in that webhook I want to make a graphql call to modify an order.

export const action = async ({ request }) => {
const { payload, topic, shop, session, admin } = await authenticate.webhook(request);

switch (topic) {
...
case "CHECKOUTS_CREATE":
if (admin) {
admin.graphql.query(`query here...`)
}
...

I assumed that I could use the graphql client here, but I get a TS error `Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'GraphqlParams'.`

What is the right way to do this?

[robtarr]

OK, so for some reason the `admin.graphql` that comes back from `authenticate.webhook` is different than what comes back from `authenticate.admin`. If I pass `{data: "query here..."}` this works. Now I just need to craft the right query.

Damn, thanks man. I really hate Shopify's docs.

inside yourAppName/app/routes/webhooks.jsx

case "CHECKOUTS_CREATE":
  if (session) {
    const response = await admin.graphql.query({data: `
      query {
        shop {
        name
      }
    }`
  });
}
break;

I'm getting the same issue. Would you mind sharing the docs you refer to / what was your solution?

Thanks!

if anyone is facing the same issue, here's what works for me:

isHook - true if it's from webhook's admin, false if it's from the web admin.

const response = this.isHook

? await this.graphql.query({ data: { query, variables } })

: await this.graphql(query, { variables });

I have spent so long trying to figure out how to make admin graphQL calls from a webhook, and your answer solved it. Sincerely, thank you so much for sharing.

PS: Why there doesn't seem to be anything about this in the docs is beyond me!
