The REST Admin API is a legacy API as of October 1, 2024. Starting April 1, 2025, all new public apps must be built exclusively with the GraphQL Admin API. For details and migration steps, visit our migration guide.
Resource
resource_feedbacks access scope.The ResourceFeedback resource lets your app report the status of shops and their resources. For example, if your app is a marketplace channel, then you can use resource feedback to alert merchants that they need to connect their marketplace account by signing in.
Resource feedback notifications are displayed to the merchant on the home screen of their Shopify admin, and in the product details view for any products that are published to your app.
This resource should be used only in cases where you're describing steps that a merchant is required to complete. If your app offers optional or promotional set-up steps, or if it makes recommendations, then don't use resource feedback to let merchants know about them.
Sending feedback on a shop
You can send resource feedback on a shop to let the merchant know what steps they need to take to make sure that your app is set up correctly. Feedback can have one of two states: requires_action or success. You need to send a requires_action feedback request for each step that the merchant is required to complete.
If there are multiple set-up steps that require merchant action, then send feedback with a state of requires_action as merchants complete prior steps. And to remove the feedback message from the Shopify admin, send a success feedback request.
Sending feedback replaces previously sent feedback for the Shop. Unlike REST-style APIs, you don't need to make a PATCH or PUT request to update any previously sent feedback. Send a new POST request to push the latest state of a shop or its resources to Shopify.
Formatting the resource feedback message field
If the feedback state is requires_action, then you can send a string message that communicates the action to be taken by the merchant.
The string must be a single message up to 100 characters long and must end with a period. You need to adhere to the message formatting rules or your requests will fail:
[Explanation of the problem]. [Suggested action].Examples:
[Your app name] is not connected. Connect your account to use this sales channel. [Learn more][Your app name] is not configured. Agree to the terms and conditions to use this app. [Learn more]Both Your app name and Learn more (a button which directs merchants to your app) are automatically populated in the Shopify admin.
Setting feedback permissions
Add the write_resource_feedbacks permission to your requested scopes.
