Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Does exactly as it says: this task will publish all products to the sales channel(s) of your choice, on demand. Optionally, filter products by a search query, or choose to have this task run hourly or daily.
Runs Occurs when a user manually triggers the task and Occurs when a bulk operation is completed. Configuration includes sales channel names, only publish products matching this query, test mode, run hourly, and run daily.
Does exactly as it says: this task will publish all products to the sales channel(s) of your choice, on demand. Optionally, filter products by a search query, or choose to have this task run hourly or daily.
Note: this task comes with a "test mode", which is enabled by default. Run the task at least once in this mode to make sure it would publish the products you expect, and then disbale the test mode.
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?)
