Post new Shopify products to Instagram and Facebook automatically

When a new product is added to Shopify, the system writes a caption and posts it to Instagram and Facebook for you.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues.

The problem it solves

Every new product launch means writing captions, picking hashtags, and manually posting to two or three platforms before it even reaches customers. It's easy to fall behind or post inconsistently across channels.

Who it fits

E-commerce store owners who sell on Shopify and promote products on social media.

How it works

  1. Trigger: a new product is created in your Shopify store
  2. AI writes a caption and ten relevant hashtags for the product
  3. The system posts the product image and caption to Instagram and Facebook
  4. The post details are logged to a Google Sheet
  5. A confirmation message is sent to your team in Discord
What you get

Products that get discovered and shared

Your new products get a caption and post to Instagram and Facebook the moment they go live.

What you get

Live posts on Instagram and Facebook, a logged record in Google Sheets, and a team notification.

What you need

A Shopify store, Facebook and Instagram business accounts, an OpenAI API key, and a Google account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
