Mechanic is an automation development platform for Shopify. :)
Does exactly as it says: name your sales channel, and this task will publish all products to the sales channel of your choice, on demand. Optionally, filter products by a search query, or choose to have this task run hourly or daily.
Runs when a user triggers the task. Configuration includes sales channel name, only publish products matching this query, test mode, run hourly, and run daily.
Mechanic is designed to benefit everybody: merchants, customers, developers, agencies, Gurus, 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.
