Documentation

This task monitors customer accounts, and applies the tag of your choice to customers that have an enabled account, with a registered email address and active password. It untags customers whose accounts are disabled. This task can be run manually to tag/untag all existing customers.

This task runs automatically for individual customers, as they are created and updated. It will tag customers when they have an enabled account (i.e. have a registered email address and active password), and it will untag customers whose accounts are disabled.

Run this task manually to scan all existing customers, tagging and untagging as appropriate.

Use test mode to have this task return information about what actions it would normally take.

Developer details

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?)
