Developer changelog

We're revamping the External Marketing APIs in the 2024-01 version of the GraphQL Admin API.

Breaking changes

• The channel field in marketingActivityCreateExternal and marketingActivityUpdateExternal has been renamed to marketingChannelType.
• utcOffset and isCumulative are now required fields and the fetchedAt field has been removed from marketingEngagementInput.
• The utm field has been deprecated from MarketingActivityUpdateExternalInput.

Improvements on the creation of marketing activities

• marketingActivityUpsertExternal can be used to sync externally managed activities without having to keep track of Shopify IDs.
• marketingActivityCreateExternal or marketingActivityUpsertExternal can be used to create a hierarchy of activities. Activities can be created to represent ads, ad groups, or campaigns.
• Bulk mutation support has been added for marketingActivityUpsertExternal. Learn more about bulk mutations on Shopify.dev.

Now supporting the deletion of marketing activities

• marketingActivityDeleteExternal can be used to delete a single external marketing activity.
• marketingActivitiesDeleteAllExternal can be used to enqueue a job to bulk delete all external marketing activities. This can be used to cleanup data if a store owner revokes permission to sync data to Shopify.

Improved support for syncing aggregate data

• The remoteId can be used to reference a marketing activity in marketingEngagementCreate.
• marketingEngagementCreate can be used to sync aggregate data at the activity level and at the channel level.
• Bulk mutation support has been added for marketingEngagementCreate. Learn more about bulk mutations on Shopify.dev.
• marketingEngagementsDelete can be used to enqueue a job to delete all channel-level data that was sent through marketingEngagementCreate. This can be used to cleanup data if a store owner revokes permission to sync data to Shopify.
