Get subscription contract data

In workflows that use subscription contract data, you can use the Get subscription contract data action to retrieve subscription contract information from your store.

Configuration

Fields

The Get subscription contract data action contains the following fields, which are used to build the query:

Fields used in the Get data actions.
FieldDescription
Sort data byRequired. The parameters by which the data returned by the search query is sorted.
Maximum number of resultsRequired. The maximum amount of results that can be returned by the search query that you select. You can return up to 100 at a time.
QueryRequired. Choose from common queries or select Advanced to create your own.

Query String

This is an example query for getting subscription contracts with a status of ACTIVE:

status: ACTIVE

The status variable is a filter available on the Subscription contracts query and can be used multiple times.

When querying data, it's helpful to know:

  • List of available filters
  • Query field names for all queries can be found in the developer docs for the QueryRoot object.
  • Query field values are not always documented. In some cases, the values can be found by looking at the API docs. Alternatively, you can often find the field values in the URLs in the Admin when you filter. For example, to find some Order query values, filter the Orders page in the Admin, and then check the URL.
  • You can run or test a query in your shop by using the Shopify GraphiQL app.
  • Be mindful of what happens if your query fails. Often the API will return all results (instead of none).

Returned data

All Get data actions return a list of anywhere from 0 and 100 resources. Depending your use case, you might want to use this data in various ways:

  • If you need to handle each list item individually, such as to add a tag for each, then you can use the For each action.
  • If you need to aggregate data, such as count how many results were returned, then you can use the Count or Sum actions.
  • If you need output the list, such as send an email with all the items, then you can use returned data directly in susbsequent actions.

To access the returned data in steps that follow this action, use the variable named Get subscription contact data, which is a list of subscription contracts. You can use this variable in both conditions and actions. For example, you can send the list of orders in a Send internal email action like this:

{% for single_contract in GetSubscriptionContractData %}
- {{ single_contract.name }}
{% endfor %}

Triggers

You can use this action in any workflow, including the Scheduled time trigger. In a workflow that uses the Scheduled time trigger, the workflow starts at a time that you've specified, rather than as a result of an event. Because there is no specific event in your store or from an app that starts the workflow, there is no data automatically included.
