# Release Fulfillment Hold Automation API Changes

This change adds the public GraphQL fields associated with fulfillment hold automations to the 2022-07 Admin API GraphQL release. Specifically, this adds the following field

* MailingAddress.coordinatesValidated

This new boolean field can be used by partners to determine if the coordinates of a mailing address have been validated by Shopify. This unlocks ability to hold fulfillments on unvalidated mailing address and ensure that merchants check prior to requesting fulfillments from their 3PL.
