# Generate targeted product recommendations with the new `ProductRecommendationIntent` type

As of the **2023-04** API version of the Storefront API, [the ProductRecommendations query](https://shopify.dev/api/storefront/unstable/queries/productRecommendations) will accept an optional `intent` argument. Additionally, a new `ProductRecommendationIntent` will be introduced as a GraphQL Enum Type, defining the supported [product recommendation intents](https://shopify.dev/themes/product-merchandising/recommendations#recommendation-intents). By default, the API will return `RELATED` recommendations for backward compatibility.
