"notify_customer" property missing from Fulfillment resource in Admin Rest API

Hey there. I was hoping to get help with the Fulfillment resource question. Since 5/11/22 we started to notice an issue where Fulfillments returned via the Admin Rest API don’t have the notify_customer field in them anymore. We’re able to update the field via /update_tracking.json, but it’s not visible in any of the GETs.

Hi @coldcart_vlad :waving_hand:

Not sure which API version is being used here, and in 2022-04+ the notify_customer field is only used for the POST requests. The field isn’t included in the example payload responses in the docs for GET requests to /fulfillments.json

Thanks for the reply! ?‍

Your documentation for all supported versions does include “notify_customer” field in the Fuflillment resource. I’m having a hard time understanding the rationale behind removing it from the GET responses, while still allowing its mutation.

What is your recommendation on viewing the current value of Fulfillment.notify_customer field?

I have the same issue.

Does anyone know any other way to check value of Fulfillment.notify_customer?

Hi @lucnguyenfs ,

I would recommend using the orders’ events endpoint to check for a shipping confirmation email sent at the same time as the fulfillment as a workaround:

Hope that helps
