Email someone when a certain product is purchased, with Mechanic.

Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)

Email someone when a certain product is purchased

This task sends an email notification, immediately after an order is paid - if a product in the order has a title matching the product title you configure. Optionally, configure this task with a delay, in days, to wait before sending the email. (The task will not send any emails for orders that have since been cancelled.)

Runs Occurs whenever an order is paid. Configuration includes product title, email address, email subject, email body, reply to email address, and number of days to wait before emailing.
