How to use this graphql

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A developer is encountering issues with Shopify’s GraphQL API when querying customer email addresses. The email field is deprecated with a suggestion to use defaultEmailAddress.emailAddress instead. However, attempting to use defaultEmailAddress results in an error: “Field ‘defaultEmailAddress’ doesn’t exist on type ‘Customer’”.

Current Status:

  • Another user confirms experiencing the same error
  • Both users are forced to continue using the deprecated email field as a workaround
  • No solution has been identified yet

The discussion remains unresolved, with participants seeking guidance on the correct syntax or approach to access customer email addresses without using deprecated fields.
