Is assigning a company a catalog with graphQL a possibility?

I have a list of emails from customer accounts I’m going to automatically assign a catalog to based on their tags. Creating the company account from email is trivial, however I don’t see any section in the GraphQL information to assign a catalog. I want to assign these automatically for 1,000+ companies based on their customer account tag. So if a customer has “10discount” it would add the 10% discount. Obviously this is easy in code but I need a GraphQL mutation that can alter company accounts’ discounts.

Thanks

Looks like you would accomplish this using the catalogContextUpdate graphQL mutation by passing in the catalog ID and the company location IDs you want to assign to it. Seems a little backwards, but it looks like Shopify essentially has you assign company locations to the catalog rather than assigning the catalog to the company.
