We need to create a flow that sends an internal email notification when the “Product Type” of an existing item is changed.
Any help please?
Topic summary
Goal: set up an automation that sends an internal email when the Product Type of an existing product is changed.
Key constraint: Shopify Flow lacks a “product updated” trigger, making this workflow difficult to build natively in Flow.
Proposed solution: use the Mechanic app (a Shopify automation tool) to listen for product update events and run a custom task; a developer offered to implement it and estimated about an hour of work. A link to the app/resource was provided.
Cost/status: the requester asked for pricing; the developer pointed them to published rates on his website. No budget or agreement confirmed yet.
Outcome: no resolution yet. Next steps are to review the developer’s rates and decide whether to proceed with a Mechanic-based implementation. No code or attachments were shared beyond the link.

Might be tricky because there isn’t a product updated trigger.
Yes, this is the main issue. The Shopify Customer Service team recommended reaching out to developers who may be able to help, but since the app is very compact, we’re not sure if it’s possible. We’re seeking advice and opinions on this matter.

Yeah I’d probably recommend doing this with mechanic - https://www.flow-helper.com/mechanic-app/
And I’d be happy to help set that up for you. Probably should only take an hour.
Hello, @Kalen_Jordan
Thanks for your offer. Could you let us know how much that will cost.
