Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task to keep an eye on the contents of a customer's note. When the text you want to watch for is added (e.g. "Authorization number:", or "VAT Registration Number:", or anything else!), Mechanic will add the tag of your choice to the customer, and optionally send you a notification email.
Runs Occurs whenever a customer is created and Occurs whenever a customer is updated. Configuration includes text to watch for in the customer note, require a case sensitive match, customer tag to apply, and staff notification email recipient.
Use this task to keep an eye on the contents of a customer's note. When the text you want to watch for is added (e.g. "Authorization number:", or "VAT Registration Number:", or anything else!), Mechanic will add the tag of your choice to the customer, and optionally send you a notification email.
Please note: Mechanic uses the absence of this task's tag to determine if any work should be done. This means that if the tag Mechanic adds is later removed, and if the customer note still has the matching text, Mechanic will re-tag the customer (and re-send a notification email, if configured) the next time the customer is updated.
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.

Hi there,
The customer note for {{ customer.email }} was found to contain some matching text:
<blockquote>{{ customer.note | replace: match_text, replacement | default: "(preview of customer note)" }}</blockquote>
View this customer's details:
https://{{ shop.domain }}/admin/customers/{{ customer.id }}
Thanks,
Mechanic (for {{ shop.name }})
