How it works

Follow these 5 simple steps to start generating AI-written WordPress blog posts from your Shopify products

Product Created

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This trigger captures new products the moment they're added to your catalog, ensuring fresh content is created while product details are top of mind and timing aligns with your product launch schedule.

This step automatically monitors your Shopify store for newly created products and fires immediately when you publish a new item. The trigger captures essential product data like title, description, and product ID that gets passed to subsequent steps. No configuration is needed - it connects to your existing Shopify store and starts monitoring right away. Every new product becomes a potential blog post without you lifting a finger.

Retrieve Product

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: Pulls the complete product details including title and full description that the AI needs to write accurate, relevant blog content rather than relying on the limited data in the initial trigger.

This action automatically pulls the full product record from Shopify using the product ID captured by the trigger. It retrieves detailed information including the product title, description, images, pricing, and specifications that weren't available in the initial trigger data. The step runs immediately after a new product is detected and requires no manual configuration. This comprehensive product data becomes the foundation for generating relevant, informative blog content in the next steps.

Blog Title

App connector: AI • Time to complete: 5 minutes
Why this matters: Generates an SEO-optimized, click-worthy title that positions your product content for search engine visibility and social sharing without generic marketing clichés.

This step uses AI to analyze your product information and create a compelling blog title under 60 characters. You'll need to customize the prompt template by replacing the placeholder text with your actual brand name, positioning, tone, and target audience. For example, replace "[BRAND_NAME]" with "Acme Outdoor Gear" and "[BRAND_TONE]" with "adventurous and inspiring." The AI uses your product title and description to craft titles that avoid generic phrases and focus on benefits rather than features.

Blog Body

App connector: AI • Time to complete: 5 minutes
Why this matters: Creates a complete, structured article that requires minimal editing, saving hours of content creation time while maintaining consistency in format and quality across all product posts.

This step generates publication-ready blog content including a hero introduction, main article with subheadings, feature-benefit bullets, and FAQ section. Like the title step, you'll customize the prompt template with your brand details and voice guidelines. The AI processes your product data to create scannable content with short paragraphs, active language, and practical information. The output follows a structured markdown format that's ready for WordPress publishing with minimal editing required.

Create Post

App connector: WordPress • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: Automatically saves the AI-generated content as a WordPress draft, giving you the option to review and refine before publishing while eliminating the time-consuming first draft process.

This action takes the AI-generated title and body content and creates a new WordPress post in draft status. The step connects to your WordPress site and uses the exact title and content from the previous AI steps. No configuration is needed beyond connecting your WordPress account - the post automatically uses the generated title as the post title and the formatted blog body as the post content. Your new blog post appears in your WordPress dashboard as a draft, ready for final review and publishing.

Make it your own

Customize this workflow even further:

Add product images to the blog post
Include the product's featured image or image gallery in the WordPress post body by passing {{shopify_1.image.src}} or {{shopify_1.images[].src}} to the AI prompt or directly into the content field.
Route different product types to different AI prompts
Add conditional paths that check the product type or collection and use customized AI prompts for different categories—apparel gets one writing style, electronics get another.
Schedule posts for future publication
Instead of saving as drafts, set a scheduled publish date in WordPress that aligns with your product launch date by modifying the post status and adding a publish date field.
Send Slack notifications when drafts are ready
Add a Slack message step after the WordPress post creation to notify your content team that a new blog draft is ready for review, including a link to edit the post.

Frequently asked questions

Can I customize the blog post structure or length?
Yes, edit the AI prompt in the "Blog Body" step to change the structure, add or remove sections, adjust word counts, or modify the style rules. The prompt is fully customizable to match your content requirements.
What happens if my product description is very short or missing?
The AI will generate content based on whatever information is available, but quality improves with detailed product descriptions. Consider adding a conditional check to skip blog creation or send a notification if {{shopify_1.body_html}} is empty or below a certain character count.
How do I ensure consistent brand voice across all generated posts?
Fill in the [BRAND_NAME], [BRAND_POSITIONING], [BRAND_TONE], and [PRIMARY_AUDIENCE] placeholders with specific, detailed descriptions. The more precise your brand voice parameters, the more consistent your AI-generated content will be. You can also add specific writing examples to the AI prompts.
