Product Created
App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This trigger monitors your Shopify store and launches the workflow whenever someone adds a new product, ensuring every product gets tagged without manual intervention.

The workflow automatically activates when a new product is created in your Shopify store. It captures essential product information including the title, description, and product ID that will be used by the AI to generate relevant tags. No configuration is needed - the trigger connects directly to your store and monitors product creation events in real-time. Once a new product is detected, it immediately passes the product data to the next step for AI processing.

Prompt
App connector: AI • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This AI step analyzes your product information and generates 2-3 relevant tags using intelligent text processing, eliminating the manual work of creating consistent product tags.

The AI analyzes your product's title and description to generate 2-3 comma-separated tags with no more than 2 words each. The AI prompt is pre-configured with specific instructions to format tags properly and focus on the most relevant product characteristics. The system uses a temperature setting of 1 for balanced creativity while maintaining consistency across tag generation. The AI processes both the product title and HTML description content to understand the product context and generate meaningful tags that help with product discovery and organization.

Product Add Tag
App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step takes the AI-generated tags and applies them directly to your Shopify product, completing the automation loop and making your products immediately more discoverable.

The workflow automatically adds the AI-generated tags to your newly created product in Shopify using the product ID captured in step 1. The tags generated by the AI are formatted as comma-separated values and applied to the product through Shopify's tagging system. This step ensures the tags become part of your product's metadata for filtering, search, and organization purposes. The action completes the workflow by making the AI recommendations immediately visible and functional in your Shopify admin and storefront.

Frequently asked questions

Can I modify the AI prompt to generate different types of tags?
Yes, you can edit the AI prompt in step 2 to change the tag format, quantity, or focus. For example, you could modify it to generate tags based on product benefits, target audience, or seasonal relevance instead of general product characteristics.
Will this workflow tag products that already exist in my store?
No, this workflow only triggers when new products are created. It won't automatically tag your existing product catalog. You'd need to manually trigger the workflow for existing products or use Time Travel to backfill your current inventory.
What happens if the AI generates inappropriate or irrelevant tags?
The AI-generated tags are applied automatically, but you can always manually review and edit them in your Shopify admin. Consider testing the workflow with a few products first and adjusting the AI prompt if needed to improve tag quality before fully activating it.
