Configuration
7 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
fulfillment_order_id Fulfillment order to fulfil, from shopify.list_fulfillment_orders. | string | Yes | — | — | 1046000823 |
line_items Which lines to fulfil, as JSON: [{"id": 1058737527, "quantity": 1}] using fulfillment order line item ids. Leave empty to fulfil the whole fulfillment order. | array | No | — | array of object | — |
tracking_number Carrier tracking number. | string | No | — | — | — |
tracking_url Tracking URL shown to the customer. | string | No | — | url format | — |
tracking_company Carrier name. A name Shopify recognises (e.g. 'UPS', 'DHL Express') makes it generate the tracking link itself. | string | No | — | — | — |
notify_customer Email the customer that their order has shipped. | boolean | No | — | — | — |
message Message stored on the fulfillment for the merchant. | string | No | — | — | — |

}Notes
- The store and the API version come from the connection: 'shop' (your-store.myshopify.com) and an optional 'api_version' that defaults to 2026-07. Auth is the Admin API access token, sent as X-Shopify-Access-Token.
- Lists page on an opaque cursor from Shopify's Link header, not on page numbers. Pass the 'page_info' a call returns back into the next call while 'has_more' is true; a request carrying page_info may only carry 'limit' and 'fields', so every other filter is ignored once you are paging.
- Shopify rate-limits with a leaky bucket (X-Shopify-Shop-Api-Call-Limit). A 429 fails the step with the bucket state and the Retry-After seconds in the message: put a control.delay in front of the node or lower 'limit'.
- Each write node also accepts the raw resource object for fields it does not model; that object is merged last and wins on a conflict.
- Fulfilling decrements stock at the fulfillment order's assigned location and, with notify_customer on, sends the shipping-confirmation email.
See Create Fulfillment run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Shopify connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
