Shopify Adds Seven New Settings Intents for App-Driven Merchant Workflow
Use the new Settings intents (e.g., edit:settings/NotificationsSenderEmail) to open specific settings pages via a single API call, scrolling merchants directly to the targeted field.
Implement the new Settings intents in your app to streamline merchant workflows, e.g., add edit:settings/NotificationsSenderEmail to open the notifications email field directly.
Summary
Shopify has expanded its Admin Intents API with seven new Settings intents, enabling apps to open specific settings pages as contextual overlays. The new intents cover notifications, payments and gift cards, delivery profiles, and business details, each identified by a unique intent string such as edit:settings/NotificationsSenderEmail and edit:settings/PaymentCaptureMethod. With a single API call, merchants are scrolled directly to the relevant field, improving the editing experience. The notifications intents allow editing the sender email and staff notification settings. Payment and gift card intents let merchants set the capture method and gift card expiration. Delivery intents support creating and editing delivery profiles. The business intent opens the Business Details card. These additions build on the initial Settings intents release from March and follow the same page‑stack pattern.
Developers can reference the updated admin intents documentation and the list of supported Shopify resources to integrate these new intents into their apps. The new intents aim to reduce friction for merchants by providing direct access to frequently edited settings.
The release is part of Shopify’s ongoing effort to streamline app‑merchant interactions and is available immediately to all app developers.
