Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task to keep track of who created what order. This task watches for new orders, and tags each one with the name of the store staff member who created it (if that's how the order was created). This task can also be run manually, to scan and tag all orders already in your store.
Runs Occurs whenever an order is created, Occurs when a user manually triggers the task, and Occurs when a bulk operation is completed. Configuration includes include pos orders and tag prefix.
Use this task to keep track of who created what order. This task watches for new orders, and tags each one with the name of the store staff member who created it (if that's how the order was created). This task can also be run manually, to scan and tag all orders already in your store.
This task watches for new orders, that are created by store staff members, auto-tagging each new order with the name of the user who created it. Run this task manually to scan and tag all existing orders in your store.
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.
