Ability to populate Channel When Using Custom App

Technical Q&A
1

Hi there,

I have a custom app using the orderCreate mutation to import orders to Shopify. Is there a way to populate the Channel/sourceName when using a custom app?

I’ve sent the following where the sourceName was the integration name, and another test where it was the ID.

mutation{ 
   orderCreate( 
       options: { inventoryBehaviour: DECREMENT_OBEYING_POLICY },
       order: { 
           test: true,
           sourceName: "Integration Name", 
           ...
       }
   ) 
   {
       order { id totalPrice }
       userErrors { field message }
   }
}

When reviewing the documentation for sourceName, it seems like it has to be a Shopify App. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance!
