Mechanic

I can't say enough about how valuable this app is. Not only does it allow you to automate things that you normally would have to do manually or pay for individual apps, the customer service is unparalleled! Even if there isn't something currently available within this task, you can customize it in SO many ways to fit your needs. PLUS, if you are having trouble, Isaac will help navigate you through building a task that fits your needs. I can't recommend Mechanic enough! It's a MUST HAVE!

I'm using this app to notify me when a client creates an account. The support i got went above and beyond to help me and I'm very happy and impressed so far! Keep up the awesome work everyone! :D

5/5 great app. Replaces many apps I was testing/using, and makes other apps work better. My specific use case is standardizing product tagging to improve search and filtering. Nothing matched Mechanic's flexibility and ease of use. One thing, this app's full potential is realized by using Liquid scripts to create tasks. There's a learning curve, but it's worth it. The customer service is top notch too.

We had previously built a custom tool to do some of the most important daily functions of our store. Unfortunately, we had a technical platform close down on us and we had to scramble to find a solution. Not only was Mechanic the solution, but the team (Isaac in particular) helped get our custom app spun up and working within 1 hour. A lot of it was proprietary and he just made it work flawlessly! Can't say enough good things about him and their team.

We have been using this app to solve many tasks over the past few months. Like sending auto address update email to our suppliers if we amend the address in Shopify (this used to be manual) and many more tasks. Issac's is very responsive to creating tasks to fit your needs and is always thinking of ways to help users. I hope he keeps up the great customer service and this doesn't fall at any points, because that's what it's all about and why people use his service. The app is well worth the money and i hope the app stays well maintained and new tasks added all the time. Thank you so much for creating what you do Issac's, you are the best and many app developers should learn from you. Even the design of the app is nice and pleasing. Good job sir.

Customer service is beyond anything I've ever seen before, amazing! Isaac helped me get started with my first Mechanic task within minutes and I'm hooked. Mechanic is definitely a must-have for developers and merchants.

Very good customer services. Isaac was very helpful to solve our asks. Very responsive to create new tasks we need... I recommend this app. Dominique Owner and Founder of jmlegazel.com

the two most important apps i got is Mechanic and a reporting app. without those, shopify management can be a nightmare. they weren't kidding about the base tasks they got. you will definitely have something you can use out of the box. as for the stuff that aren't on it, well, you got Isaac and his team who can help you through the minefield of code.

I use Mechanic to do TONS of different tasks. Simple things like sending out emails when new customers sign up at my store or sending out customized emails when orders are placed. Also advanced things like auto populating customer information (notes, tags, shipping addresses, etc.) based off of selections made during the customer registration process. Copying notes and tags from customer records to the orders those customers place. And more! Issac is probably one of the best things about this app. He is always there to answer questions, or help me write a custom task to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Customer support is out of this world!! Great app, great support, would give 10 starts if possible.

We used Mechanic to receive notifications of Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) failure to fulfill (otherwise you have to notice this failure by chance observation). Mechanic had this functionality for other fulfillment services but when I reached out with the request for FBA, Isaac was able to help build us a task in just a few hours and it is now working great. Exactly what we were looking for! Super responsive team - I recommend at least reaching out if you think this app might work for you.

I use it to automate product modification and it works exactly how I wanted it. I could easily manage to make my own code from template. I plan to use it for many more things in the future. I definitely recommend it! Great app!

Exceptional app that helps in extending shopify functionalities. Issac is diligent and very helpful in support. Issac is responsive and very open to feedback. It's obvious that a lot of thoughts went into the development of this app. This app will have a loyal following of serious ecommerce retailers.

super powerful app that we use for various repetitive tasks to keep our backend organized, e.g. we used a preorder app before and it was a nightmare going back and forth adding/removing tags in shopify + toggling products on/off within the app itself! thanks to mechanic's flexibility in creating tasks we could cancel various other apps and safe money. highly recommended!

Amazing app, amazing support, highly recommended! At first I was a little overwhelmed when confronted with the task to get exactly the automation I need - but then I saw the option to request custom tasks. I did that, and a day or so later, Isaac sent me a note that the job was done and exactly what I needed was in the openly available task list, now. Really cool! Works like a charm.

I've been using Mechanic to push our inventory quantities to a shared Google Sheet. From there I use those numbers to calculate reorder levels and monitor all of our inventory without having to be in Shopify. Isaac was very helpful in setting it up; I'm excited to see what else Mechanic can do for our store. If you are looking to automate nearly anything in your store, Mechanic is your app.

Mechanic is amazing and very powerful. Isaac provides amazing support and is always there to help. He's written quite a few tasks to start off with, and he's offered to write one specifically for my use case but if you have any sort of experience in programming writing your own tasks is a breeze and has amazing potential. I can't recommend this enough if you're looking to automate anything and it seems like none of the apps on the market were made for what you're trying to do.

This app is pretty awesome. I'm a new Shopify user, so as I was developing my first site, I kept running into problems where I could anticipate little things taking forever to do. I reached out to the developer, Isaac, and he was beyond helpful! As I came up with different things I thought could be beneficial, he custom-coded them and added them to the Mechanic template library for me and others to be able to use. The subscription price that's based on your Shopify plan is unique in the sense that the number of 'actions' allowed in a month is unlimited for the one flat-rate whereas a lot of other similar apps charge per-action (which becomes SUPER expensive very quickly). As I was exploring other apps, some seemed a little more user-friendly, but much more expensive. And with the support I've gotten from Isaac, this is a no-brainer. The only thing that I could hope for in the future would be an option for a bit more basic-user-friendliness. While I can completely understand the abilities of Mechanic being awesome for advanced users, those of us who don't know Liquid well enough to hand-code it could benefit from a WYSIWYG interface (where I could select from a dropdown menu 'If is met, do '). This would be more similar to what I understand to be Mechanic's predecessor, ifShop. Overall, 5 stars on functionality and service!

Amazing Automation, Auto Tag my Customers by Domain on creation with their Discount tag, so they automatically see the appropriate Pricing. Isaac is amazing, nothing too hard, and very responsive. Set it up exactly how I needed it, so my staff can use it, simple as. Nothing else can do this. Totally Amazing.

This app might as well be called 'sonic screwdriver', it is so versatile and helps us do what we want. Without this app, we'd have to use a lot of other different apps that don't interact well with each other and have lots of manual steps and workarounds. With the Mechanic app, we can set up a rule that when X happens we need data Y to be moved to location Z while adding A, B, and C. This lets us fine-tune our workflows on the admin end (saving staff time) and reduce unnecessary delays/steps for our customers (making it easier for them to shop). For example, we require our customers to create an account to make a purchase, but the name that they enter in the account creation process doesn't automatically populate into the order form, so they have to enter it again. Isaac set up a task for us that lets us have the customer enter their name once and Mechanic auto-populates the name in the other locations. We also use Isaac's app Locksmith, which has a feature where the customer can enter a unique, single-use passcode (which they get from elsewhere). A Mechanic task allows us to store the passcode in the customer's file in case they lose it. And we have some reports that need to be in very specific formats for other services we use. Rather than downloading the raw data from Shopify and manipulating it in Excel before uploading to the other service, Isaac was able to work with us to not only get our store to spit out the report already in the correct format, but to upload it to the service as well! The value we've gotten out of this app will allow our staff to focus on improving the customer experience instead of performing repeated time-consuming tasks. Whenever I reach a roadblock trying to figure out how to get our store to do something, I reach out to Isaac and he's always got a solution!
