Do you wish Shopify Flow workflows could run on historical data? Now they can! :D

This task queries your orders, and calls Shopify Flow for each order returned. You can optionally provide a date range to limit the orders to be processed. If provided, these dates must be in this format YYYY-MM-DD.

It includes a flag value, intended to help Flow workflows identify the Mechanic order triggers that are relevant, ignoring those that are not. The flag value only has significance if there are Flow workflows looking for its value, using workflow conditions. A Flow condition for this purpose might read like, if User string is equal to 'mechanic-import'.

This task is written to process orders, but can be modified to process products or customers. To make a change like this, open the task code, and update the bulk operation to query for the right resources. Then, update the Flow action to send product_id or customer_id as appropriate, instead of order_id.
