How to get location id list in shopify flow?

[stoneqduc]

Hi,

I have a question about how to obtain a list of location IDs in Shopify Flow. I want to update inventory quantities based on specific conditions. Since I have six locations and may have more in the future, obtaining a list of all location IDs would be the best solution. However, I haven't been able to find a useful variable to obtain the location ID list in Shopify Flow.

Thanks for your help.

You could click the location in the Admin / Settings / Locations and look at the URL. You could also instead use the location name in Flow. 

Personally, I would use Shopify's GraphiQL app. You can use a query like this:

{
  locations(first:20, includeLegacy:true) {
    edges {
      node {
        name
        id
        legacyResourceId
      }
    }
  }  
}

Thank you Paul_n

My question is  like this, is there a useful variable for getting the locations in flow ?

{% for variants_item in product.variants %}
 {
  "location_id":828XXXXXXX,  // I don't want to use hard coding here, and the locations will increase in future.
  "inventory_item_id:{{variants_item.inventoryItem.variant.inventoryItem.legacyResourceId}},
  "available":0
}
{% endfor %}

Thanks for your help.

Please don't do that code. You have a circular reference in it (variants.inventoryItem.variant.inventoryItem).

What trigger are you using? 

[stoneqduc]

trigger is : Product status updated

condition is : old status =  'ACTIVE' & product.status = 'DRAFT'

action: update the product inventory quantity = 0 in all  locations

• Send HTTP request
• https://......admin/api/2023-04/inventory_levels/set.json
• body ↓

{% for variants_item in product.variants %}
 {"location_id":828XXXXXXX,"inventory_item_id":
  {{variants_item.inventoryItem.variant.inventoryItem.legacyResourceId}}
,"available":0}
{% endfor %}​

Thanks, knowing the trigger helps because sometimes they have a specific variant. In this case it doesn't. This is how I would output the ID for the REST API. 

{% for variants_item in product.variants %}
  {% for inventoryLevels_item in variants_item.inventoryItem.inventoryLevels %}
  {{inventoryLevels_item.location.legacyResourceId}}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

That said, I'm not sure how you will do this for multiple inventory updates in one API call and this loop won't generate multiple API calls for you. See https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-discussions/bulk-update-item-inventory-through-api/td-p/1507...

Thank you very much. I understand that it is not possible to make multiple API calls.
