Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
This task monitors new and updated products, applying the tag(s) of your choice to them based on their individual product type. Run this task manually to tag all of your products at once.
Runs Occurs whenever a product is created, Occurs whenever a product is updated, ordered, or variants are added, removed or updated, and Occurs when a user manually triggers the task. Configuration includes product types and tags and remove product tags in this list when they do not apply.
This task monitors new and updated products, applying the tag(s) of your choice to them based on their individual product type. Run this task manually to tag all of your products at once.
Configure the "Product types and tags" option with product types on the left, and the desired comma-delimited product tags on the right. Enable the "Remove product tags in this list when they do not apply" option to have this task proactively remove tags when they no longer apply. (When this option is enabled, this task will only remove tags that are associated with other known product types.)
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.
(By the way, have you seen our documentation? Have you joined the Slack community?)
