To retrieve information about a specific engagement, use the engagement query with the engagement’s GID. Since the Engagement type is an interface implemented by PurchaseEngagement and RefinanceEngagement, you’ll use inline fragments to access type-specific fields.

​
Fetching a single engagement

Use the engagement(id: EngagementGID!) query to retrieve details about one engagement:
Request
query GetEngagementDetails($id: EngagementGID!) {
  engagement(id: $id) {
    ... on PurchaseEngagement {
      id
      shortId
      type
      closingDate
      owner
      createdAt
      clients {
        firstName
        lastName
        email
        phoneNumber
      }
      property {
        address {
          street
          unitNumber
          city
          province
          postalCode
          country
        }
      }
      status {
        state
      }
    }
    ... on RefinanceEngagement {
      id
      shortId
      type
      closingDate
      owner
      createdAt
      clients {
        firstName
        lastName
        email
        phoneNumber
      }
      property {
        address {
          street
          unitNumber
          city
          province
          postalCode
          country
        }
      }
      status {
        state
      }
    }
  }
}

Understanding inline fragments

Since the engagement query returns the Engagement interface, you need inline fragments to access the concrete type’s fields. The interface provides a common set of fields (id, shortId, type, owner, clients, createdAt), but type-specific fields like closingDate, property, and status are only available on the concrete types. 
{
  engagement(id: "gid://ownright/Engagement/42") {
    # Fields from the Engagement interface (available on all types)
    id
    shortId
    type
    owner

    # Type-specific fields require inline fragments
    ... on PurchaseEngagement {
      closingDate
      property {
        address {
          street
          city
        }
      }
      status {
        state
      }
    }
    ... on RefinanceEngagement {
      closingDate
      property {
        address {
          street
          city
        }
      }
      status {
        state
      }
    }
  }
}
The status field is itself an interface with multiple concrete status types (one per state). Each status type currently exposes a state field, but this pattern allows for additional status-specific fields to be added in the future without breaking changes.

​
Handling a null response

If the engagement ID doesn’t exist or you don’t have access to it, the query returns null: 
{
  "data": {
    "engagement": null
  }
}
Make sure your integration handles this case gracefully.
