Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Automatically generate an invoice PDF, to be emailed to the address on file for the order, if the order has not yet been paid. Useful for working with billing departments, or with anyone else who needs an order summary auto-emailed. :)
Runs Occurs whenever an order is created. Configuration includes days to wait before emailing, email subject, email body, pdf attachment filename, and pdf html template.
Automatically generate an invoice PDF, to be emailed to the address on file for the order, if the order has not yet been paid. Useful for working with billing departments, or with anyone else who needs an order summary auto-emailed. :)
This task automatically generates a PDF, based on the supplied HTML template. Configure to taste! To use a template from Order Printer, see this guide.
No email will be sent if the order does not have an email on file, or if the order's financial status is not "pending".
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?)
