# Analytics​Target​Connection

connection

An auto-generated type for paginating through multiple AnalyticsTargets.

## Queries with this connection

  query

  Returns a paginated list of [analytics targets](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/AnalyticsTarget) for the shop. Each target represents a merchant-defined goal for a specific metric over a date range.

  Results can be filtered by metric, name, date range, or filter expression, and sorted by fields such as `start_date`, `expected_value`, or `metric`.

  Use the [`analyticsTargetCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/mutations/analyticsTargetCreate) mutation to add new targets.
