Email customers after purchasing a certain product, with Mechanic.

Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)

Email customers after purchasing a certain product

Send an email to the customer with specific information regarding a product they just purchased. Useful for digital products, or anytime you'd like to communicate something extra about a product you offer. (Note: this does not replace the Shopify order confirmation email!)

Runs Occurs whenever an order is created. Configuration includes email subject, email body, product sku, and days to wait before emailing.
