Whenever inventory for a product is updated, this task scans all variants and all fulfillment locations, adds up all inventory related to that product, and makes sure the product is hidden if the total inventory meets your "out of stock" threshold. Optionally, it'll send you an email when it does so.
Runs when an inventory level is updated. Configuration includes email notification recipient and out of stock inventory quantity.
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.
