Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Shopify's order group filters allow you to filter by the tags the order contains – but not the tags a order does not contain. Use this task to sync an "inverse" tag to all orders who do not have a particular tag, allowing you to filter orders in Shopify by that inverse tag.
Runs Occurs whenever an order is created, Occurs whenever an order is updated, Occurs when a user manually triggers the task, and Occurs when a bulk operation is completed. Configuration includes order tag to watch and order tag to use when missing.
Shopify's order group filters allow you to filter by the tags the order contains – but not the tags a order does not contain. Use this task to sync an "inverse" tag to all orders who do not have a particular tag, allowing you to filter orders in Shopify by that inverse tag.
To explain by example, if you've already tagged your wholesale orders with "wholesale", configure the "order tag to watch" option with "wholesale", and the "order tag to use when missing" option with "retail". This task will automatically tag all non-wholesale orders with "retail", and automatically remove that tag from any orders who later receive the tag "wholesale". Please note: if you remove the "retail" tag, this task will simply re-add it. To remove the "retail" tag, you would need to add the "wholesale" tag to that order.
Run this task manually to scan all of the orders in your store. Otherwise, this task will monitor and sync tags for all new and updated orders, as they come through.
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.
