Shopify Flow action runtime URLs propagate automatically

Flow resolves an action runtime_url on every execution, so redeployed endpoint changes apply to existing merchant workflows without re-saving them.

Previous state

Existing workflow configurations could retain the endpoint associated with their saved version.

Current state

Every execution resolves the currently deployed runtime_url and automatically propagates endpoint changes.

Who needs to care

Shopify Flow action extensions with changing partner endpoints.

What to do

Treat endpoint deployment as affecting existing workflows and validate backward-compatible request handling.

What the source does not prove

The change updates runtime URL resolution; it does not rewrite unrelated workflow configuration.

Lifecycle history

Dated event sequence
