Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task to tag orders as they come in, based on which sales channel created them. Run this task manually to backfill tags for all orders.
Runs Occurs whenever an order is created, Occurs when a user manually triggers the task, and Occurs when a bulk operation is completed. Configuration includes sales channel names and tags.
Use this task to tag orders as they come in, based on which sales channel created them. Run this task manually to backfill tags for all orders.
Please note: this task works by sales channel, and as such does not apply to orders that are created by an app. It's sometimes difficult to distinguish whether a third-party is using a sales channel or an app; if you're having trouble with this task, try its companion, Auto-tag orders by app.
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.
