Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
This task will remove order attributes from newly created or paid orders after a configurable amount of minutes. This can be helpful when order attributes are set by apps or other processes that are not necessary to keep on the order after initial processing.
Runs Occurs whenever an order is created, with a 15 minute delay. Configuration includes minutes to wait before removing order attributes, order attributes to remove, remove all order attributes, and only run for paid orders.
This task will remove order attributes from newly created or paid orders after a configurable amount of minutes. This can be helpful when order attributes are set by apps or other processes that are not necessary to keep on the order after initial processing.
Either configure one or more exact order attributes to be removed (e.g. "_app_track_id"), or choose the _Remove all order attributes option.
Mechanic is designed to benefit everybody: merchants, customers, developers, agencies, Shopifolks, everybody.
That’s why we make it easy to configure automation without code, why we make it easy to tweak the underlying code once tasks are installed, and why we publish it all here for everyone to learn from.
