Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
This task watches for newly-created collections, waits a configurable number of days, and then sends a staff email if no orders have been placed for products that are in the new collection.
Runs Occurs whenever a collection is created, with a 2 day delay. Configuration includes email recipient, email subject, email body, and days to wait before checking.
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.
(By the way, have you seen our documentation? Have you joined the Slack community?)
