 Apr 16, 14:10:26 GMT+0 - Resolved - This incident has been resolved. Apr 16, 14:10:15 GMT+0 - Monitoring - Shopify has implemented a fix and are currently monitoring the result. Apr 16, 09:00:00 GMT+0 - Identified - Syncs using the \`order\_agreements\` stream in the Shopify source connector are failing with the error:
\`\`\`
The parent 'node' field for a nested connection must return a type that implements the 'Node' interface.
\`\`\`
This is caused by a change on Shopify's side to their Bulk Operations API validation. The stricter validation now rejects bulk queries where nested connections use types that don't implement the \`Node\` interface — the \`agreements\` connection falls into this category
 Apr 16, 08:30:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - We are currently investigating this incident.
