DateJanuary 1, 2026

Affected APIs[Admin GraphQL API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-graphql)[Events & webhooks](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=webhook)

Starting with API version 2026-01 of the GraphQL Admin API, your app can subscribe to the `orders/link_requested` webhook topic. This webhook is triggered when a customer requests a new order link from an expired **Order status** page, allowing your app to be notified when customers need access to their order details after the original link has expired.

**Webhook Trigger:** This occurs when a customer visits an expired order status page and requests a new order link.

**Payload:** The webhook delivers the complete [`Order`](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/Order) object, which includes:

* Order ID and details
* Customer information
* Order status
* Fulfillment information

For more information and to view the full payload, visit the [Shopify developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/webhooks/latest?accordionItem=webhooks-orders-link_requested\&reference=toml).
