Use this task to monitor order tags, and notify staff, vendors, or any other interested parties when an order receives a certain tag. Useful for keeping teams across your business up to date as an order progresses.
This task monitors incoming orders, and updates to existing orders, looking for the tag of your choice. When the tag is detected, this task will send an email to the address(es) of your choice.
Important notes
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?)
