Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task to schedule adding and/or removing tags for specific products, with support for scheduling by date, or by date and hour.
Runs Occurs every day at midnight (in local time) and Occurs when a user manually triggers the task. Configuration includes dates and tags to add, dates and tags to remove, product ids, use hour specificity, and test mode.
Use this task to schedule adding and/or removing tags for specific products, with support for scheduling by date, or by date and hour.
Use this task to schedule adding and/or removing product tags by date.
Use the "Product IDs" option to choose which products this task will tag. Learn how to find product IDs here.
Fill in the "Dates and tags to add" and/or "Dates and tags to remove" options with dates (including year, month, and day) on the left, and product tags on the right.
Enable "Use hour specificity" to have Mechanic schedule tags by date and hour, instead of only by date. When this option is enabled, fill in tag dates using an hour at the end, e.g. "2019-01-01 2PM". A date without an hour will be interpreted as midnight at the beginning of that date - for example, "2019-01-01" will be interpreted as "2019-01-01 12AM".
When "Test mode" is enabled, use the "Run task" button to see a summary of Mechanic's understanding of your configuration. Mechanic will not perform any tagging or untagging when this mode is enabled.
This task will run nightly, at midnight in your store's local timezone. If "Use hour specificity" is enabled, the task will run hourly instead. You can also run this task manually, using the "Run task" button, and the task will perform the operations appropriate for the current day (or hour, if "Use hour specificity" is enabled).
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.
