webhookSubscriptionCreate

mutation

Creates a new webhook subscription.

Building an app? If you only use app-specific webhooks, you won't need this. App-specific webhook subscriptions specified in your shopify.app.toml may be easier. They are automatically kept up to date by Shopify & require less maintenance. Please read About managing webhook subscriptions.
