Get page data

In workflows that require page data, you can use the Get page data action to retrieve page information from your store. Pages are the web pages on your online store that contain information that rarely changes, such as an About Us page or Contact page.

Note

This is a type of Get data action. To understand how to use this type of action with the Scheduled time trigger and For each loops, refer to Schedules, get data, and looping workflows in Shopify Flow.

Configuration

Fields

The Get page data action contains the following fields:

Fields used in the Get data actions.

Field	Description
Sort data by	Required. The parameters by which the data returned by the search query is sorted.
Maximum number of results	Required. 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.
Query	Required. Choose from common queries or select Advanced to create your own.

Query string

This is an example query for getting published pages:

published_status:published

The published_status variable is a filter available on the Pages query and can be used multiple times or combined with other variables.

When querying data, it's helpful to know:

• List of available page filters

• Queries must follow a certain syntax

• 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 page data, which is a list of pages. You can use this variable in both conditions and actions. For example, you can send the list of pages in a Send internal email action similar to this:

{% for single_page in getPageData %}
  * {{ single_page.title }} - {{ single_page.handle }}
{% endfor %}

Note

If a Get data action is used multiple times in a single workflow, then a number is added to the variable name. For example, in a workflow that uses the Get order data action twice, the first variable for returned data is getOrderData and the second variable is getOrderData1. This name cannot be customized.

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.
