Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Just as it says. Useful for collections that can't be configured for automatic products, but still should have some products pulled in automatically.
Runs Occurs whenever a product is created and Occurs whenever a product is updated, or whenever a product is ordered, or whenever a variant is added, removed, or updated. Configuration includes product tags and collection ids.
Just as it says. Useful for collections that can't be configured for automatic products, but still should have some products pulled in automatically.
This task runs in response to products being tagged. Configure the "Product tags and collection IDs" option with product tags on the left (case-insensitive), and collection IDs on the right. The collection must be a custom collection - one that has its products chosen manually. (Learn how to find the collection ID.)
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.
