In your Partner Dashboard, click [Apps](https:\/\/partners.shopify.com\/current\/apps). 2. Select the app that you want to add your Shopify Flow action to. 3. Click **Extensions**, then click **Create** or **Create extension**. 4. Under the **Flow** tab, click **Flow\/Actions**. 5. In the **Extension name** field, name your action, such as `Place auction bid`. This name is used only for internal purposes. 6. Enter a title and description for the action. In the **Action Preview** area, you can see how the title and action display to merchants when they're choosing actions in Shopify Flow. 7. Enter the URL for the action execution endpoint that you created. Shopify Flow sends the action's JSON payload to this endpoint when it's about to execute your action. ## Step 2: Customize a Flow action configuration file In this section you'll use the default action template and update it to be a functional extension example. Once you have generated a Flow extension using Shopify CLI, follow the instructions below: 1. Change the description to `Place a bid on an auction`. 2. Update the `extensions.runtime_url` to an endpoint where you can receive the runtime request. 3. On the second `settings.fields` field, update the following values: - `type` to `number_decimal` - `key` to `amount` - `name` to `Bid Amount` - Add a `description` property and set it to `The amount of the bid` ```bash [[extensions]] name = \"Place Auction Bid\" type = \"flow_action\" handle = \"place-bid\" description = \"Place a bid on an auction\" runtime_url = \"https:\/\/your-server-domain\/path\/to\/action\/handler\" [settings] [[settings.fields]] type = \"customer_reference\" required = true [[settings.fields]] type = \"number_decimal\" key = \"amount\" name = \"Bid Amount\" description = \"The amount of the bid\" required = true ``` ##" ], "response":"To create a new extension for Shopify Flow actions using the Shopify CLI, follow these simplified steps:\n\n1. **Open Your App Directory**: The first thing you need to do is find the folder on your computer where your app is saved.

This code is in the `x-shopify-hmac-sha256` header. You'll need to check this code against your client secret (a secure key Shopify provides you) to ensure the data is really coming from Shopify.

If it doesn't, Shopify assumes the callback failed.\n\nOnce configured to receive callbacks:\n\n- **Process and Store Callback Data**: Your web server should be ready to take the data Shopify sends (in the format specified in the \"extensions\" block you've set up, such as action to \"place a bid\") and process or store it as needed. This could involve recording a bid in a database or executing some business logic based on the callback data.\n\n- **Build a Shopify Flow Action**: Essentially, you are creating an action (like \"Place Auction Bid\") which needs to have specific fields defined (such as \"customer_reference\" and \"amount\" for a bid amount) that the merchant fills out in Shopify Flow.
