ChatGPT Adds Promo Text to New Shopify Product Images

5 min setup
No coding required
Runs automatically

Every new product needs a promo graphic for social posts, emails or ads, and making one by hand in a design tool takes time. This workflow runs when you add a product in Shopify, has ChatGPT write a short, punchy headline from the product's title and description, and uses MESA's Image tool to place that headline over the product's main photo. The finished graphic is emailed to you, ready to post or drop into a campaign.

FAQs

Does this change the product's image in my store?

No. The overlay is made on a copy of the photo and emailed to you. Your product images in Shopify stay exactly as they are.

Can I control the tone of the headline?

Yes. Edit the ChatGPT instructions to describe your brand voice, for example playful, premium or minimal, or to always mention free shipping or a launch discount.

Can I add my logo too?

Yes. Add an Image Add Watermark Overlay step after the text overlay to place your logo in a corner of the graphic.

Personalize this template

Customize this workflow even further:

Post-ready colors
Add an Image Auto-Color Transform or Vibrance Transform step before the overlay so product photos pop in social feeds.
Sale graphics on discount
Trigger on Product Updated and filter for products with a compare-at price, so ChatGPT writes a sale headline when you mark something down.
