Mechanic is a development and ecommerce automation platform for Shopify. :)
Use this task to automatically select a specific product template for each of your products, based on how each product is tagged. Useful for a set-it-and-forget-it setup. :)
Runs Occurs when a user manually triggers the task, Occurs when a bulk operation is completed, Occurs whenever a product is created, and Occurs whenever a product is updated, or whenever a product is ordered, or whenever a variant is added, removed, or updated. Configuration includes product tags and template suffixes.
Use this task to automatically select a specific product template for each of your products, based on how each product is tagged. Useful for a set-it-and-forget-it setup. :)
To use this task, fill in "Product tags and template suffixes" with a single product tag on the left, per line, and a product template suffix on the right. For example, if you'd like products tagged "sale" to be shown with the products.sale-hero.liquid template, add an item that has "sale" on the left and "sale-hero" on the right.
If a product qualifies for several template suffixes, based on its tags and on the task configuration, this task will go with whichever tmeplate suffix match is found first.
To apply this task to your entire catalog, use the "Run task" button. Otherwise, this task will run automatically, whenever a product is created or updated.
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.
