Recently, I have been clamouring for a feature like that as well.
It started with wanting Shopify Flow to have that as an action, and then realizing it is not even possible via the API.
Unfortunately, people have been asking for this for over 5 years and I didn’t see and progress on this.

Hi!
I’m trying to add a comment to a customer’s timeline programmatically. I see the CommentEvent object in the Admin GraphQL API docs, and I can query existing timeline comments, but I can’t find any mutation (like commentEventCreate) to create a new timeline comment.
Does Shopify currently allow apps to create timeline comments for customers (or orders) through the Admin API?
If so, which mutation should I use?
If not, is this feature planned?
Thank you!

Is there a GraphQL API mutation to add to an order’s timeline comments? We searched and found Order object has the hasTimeLineComment field, but there doesn’t seem to be any mutations?

It would be great if Shopify Flow would allow adding timeline comments to orders (and other resources).
With many Flows making changes to orders, it would be great if it could transparently document them for the non-technical staff members working on them.
Attaching logs as a file would be sublime, as the Flow logs are purged after 14 days.
This feature request has been on the old / non-dev community forum since July 2024 as well:
