  Creates and runs a [bulk operation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation) to import data asynchronously. This mutation executes a specified GraphQL mutation multiple times using input data from a [JSONL](http://jsonlines.org/) file that you've uploaded to Shopify.

  The operation processes each line in your JSONL file as a separate mutation execution. The operation delivers results in a JSONL file when it completes. You can run one bulk mutation operation at a time per shop, though a [`bulkOperationRunQuery`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/bulkoperationrunquery) operation can run simultaneously.
