Pick the returnReasonDefinitions action (under Return).
Fill in the fields below, then reference the result from later steps as {{returnreasondefinitions.response.data}}.

Query

This is the query the action sends by default. Edit it in the step's Query field to change which fields come back.

graphql

query ReturnReasonDefinitions($ids: [ID!], $handles: [String!], $first: Int, $after: String, $last: Int, $before: String, $reverse: Boolean, $sortKey: ReturnReasonDefinitionSortKeys, $query: String) {
  returnReasonDefinitions(
    ids: $ids
    handles: $handles
    first: $first
    after: $after
    last: $last
    before: $before
    reverse: $reverse
    sortKey: $sortKey
    query: $query
  ) {
    edges {
      cursor
      node {
        deleted
        handle
        id
        name
      }
    }
    nodes {
      deleted
      handle
      id
      name
    }
    pageInfo {
