Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Do you ship custom items, or do you have a lengthy turnaround time on your orders? Use this task to automatically re-assure customers that their order is in the queue, to be shipped as soon as possible. By default, this task sends an email 10 days (or a number you configure) after the order is paid, as long as the order remains fully paid, unfulfilled, and un-cancelled. Optionally, configure tags to add to the order and/or customer, to be added when the email is sent, and choose whether to only send reminders on weekdays.
Runs Occurs whenever an order is paid and Occurs whenever user/order/customer_reminder is triggered. Configuration includes number of days to wait, only send reminders on weekdays, email subject, email body, tag to add to order, and tag to add to customer.

Optionally, configure tags to add to the order and/or customer, to be added when the email is sent, and choose whether to only send reminders on weekdays.
Use the variables ORDER_NUMBER and CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME to insert each of these values into your email subject and body respectively.
Note: When the "Only send reminders on weekdays" option is chosen, any emails that would have been sent on a weekend are instead emailed the following Monday.
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.
