What is the intended handling of resources not being found?

[Michael-Gibbons]

Issue summary

Sometimes ids are assigned to resources that do not yet exist, how should we handle this?

For example, on order_created, the payload includes a customer along with it's id. But if you try to make a request to this id, shopify will respond with a 404 if the customer does not yet exist.

Should we just let the webhooks fail and on one of the subsequent retries the data will be available?

Steps to reproduce

// on order_create with new email
const order = JSON.parse(payload);
const id = order.customer.id

const customerObj = await client.get({
  path: `customers/${id}`,
});

// shopify responds with 404

Ah so update, I think my issue might be related to the search endpoint? The above example actually works, its when I search for it via query parameters like email where it doesn't work. I wonder if there's a lag time between when a customer is created and when it is indexed?
