Tag orders that have at least x of a certain product

Use this task to monitor for orders that meet a certain quantity threshold, per line item or totaled up, optionally only looking at certain SKUs. Optionally, send yourself an email notification when such an order comes in.

Runs Occurs whenever an order is paid. Configuration includes minimum quantity threshold, evaluate threshold per line item, only monitor these skus, order tag to apply, and email notification recipient.
