Select API Version

Shopify Plus

Topic summary

A user discovered that customer notification emails weren’t being sent in their return approval/decline Flow. The issue stems from the notifyCustomer field only being available in GraphQL API version 2024-10, while Flow currently uses version 2024-07.

Current Limitation:

  • Flow cannot manually select API versions
  • The platform must import new schema versions and handle breaking changes before upgrading

Workaround Available:

  • Use “Send HTTP request” action instead of Admin API Request
  • Requires more setup effort and doesn’t yet return data to workflows

Status:

  • Flow team is actively working on upgrading to 2024-10
  • No specific timeline provided; depends on required migrations
  • Official announcement will be posted when upgrade is complete

The user is weighing whether to wait for the official upgrade or invest time implementing the HTTP request workaround.

Problem: We have a return approve/decline flow setup but noticed that customer emails were not being sent after approval or denial.

Question: In Flow, is there a way to specify the API version to use for sending Admin API Requests?

Details:

  • API docs specify there is a notifyCustomer field on returnApproveRequest (same as decline) but that is not available until API version 2024-10.
  • Based on the info link in the Flow trigger for Admin API Request, it appears it is using 2024-07

No, Flow needs to import the schema for the API version to be available and handle any breaking changes.

If you need to use that API version, you can use Send HTTP request, but it’s more effort to set up and use (and doesn’t return data to the workflow yet).

Thanks for the reply Paul,

Do you know approximately when Flow will update to GraphQL API Version 2024-10? Just trying to decide if it’s better to wait for that migration or spend the time setting up HTTP request.

I don’t know an exact date, but we are working on it now. The time depends on how many migrations we need to make, amongst other things.
