## Mutations with this payload

* [metaobject​Upsert](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/metaobjectUpsert)

  mutation

  Creates or updates a [`Metaobject`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Metaobject) based on its handle. If a metaobject with the specified handle exists, the mutation updates it with the provided field values. If no matching metaobject exists, the mutation creates a new one.

  The handle serves as a unique identifier within a metaobject type. Field values map to the [`MetaobjectDefinition`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/MetaobjectDefinition)'s field keys and overwrite existing values during updates.

  * handle

    [Metaobject​Handle​Input!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/MetaobjectHandleInput)

    required

    ### Arguments

    The identifier of the metaobject to upsert.

  * metaobject

    [Metaobject​Upsert​Input](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/MetaobjectUpsertInput)

    The parameters to upsert the metaobject. Only the fields you provide are updated. Cannot be used in conjunction with `values`.

  * values

    [JSON](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/JSON)

    The values of the metaobject as a JSON object keyed by field definition key. This is a full replacement — omitted keys are cleared on an existing record. Cannot be used in conjunction with `metaobject`.
