Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Get an email alert whenever a product is created, updated, or deleted. This makes it easy to keep tabs on updates to your catalog – useful if you need a precise audit trail.
Runs Occurs whenever a product is created, Occurs whenever a product is deleted, and Occurs whenever a product is updated, or whenever a product is ordered, or whenever a variant is added, removed, or updated. Configuration includes recipient email.
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.
