Shopify removes automaticDiscounts from Admin GraphQL API 2027-01
Shopify will remove QueryRoot.automaticDiscounts, DiscountAutomaticConnection and DiscountAutomaticEdge in Admin GraphQL API version 2027-01 and directs apps to query discountNodes with method:automatic.
Previous state
Supported API versions through 2026-10 expose QueryRoot.automaticDiscounts and its connection and edge types.
Current state
Admin GraphQL API 2027-01 removes automaticDiscounts and the no-longer-returned DiscountAutomaticConnection and DiscountAutomaticEdge types.
Affected users

Shopify apps that query automatic discounts through QueryRoot.automaticDiscounts and plan to upgrade to Admin GraphQL API 2027-01.
Required response
What to do
Migrate reads to discountNodes with method:automatic before upgrading to API version 2027-01.
Evidence boundary
What the source does not prove
The removal is version-specific. Shopify states versions 2026-10 and earlier remain unchanged while supported; this record does not claim every currently supported API version has already removed the query.
