How it works

3 steps to start creating comprehensive product documentation in Google Docs for every new product added to your store

Product Created

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step monitors your Shopify store and instantly detects when any new product is created, capturing all the essential product data needed for documentation.

This trigger automatically activates whenever you or your team adds a new product to your Shopify store, whether through the admin dashboard, apps, or bulk imports. It captures comprehensive product information including title, description, variants, pricing, inventory levels, images, and metadata like tags and product type.

No configuration is required - the trigger connects to your store through your existing Shopify integration and starts monitoring immediately. All captured data gets passed to the next steps for processing and document creation.

Retrieve Shop

App connector: Shopify • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step fetches your store's domain name and settings, which are needed to generate accurate product URLs and store-specific information in the documentation.

The workflow automatically retrieves your shop's configuration data, including your store's domain name, which is essential for creating direct links to products in the generated documentation. This step runs in the background using your existing Shopify connection and requires no user input. The shop data gets combined with the product information to create complete, clickable product URLs that your team can use to quickly access products. This information is then formatted into the final Google Doc alongside all other product details.

Create Product Document

App connector: Google Docs • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step generates a professionally formatted Google Doc containing all product information, creating a permanent record that's easy to share with team members, vendors, or stakeholders.

A new Google Doc is automatically created in your connected Google Drive account using the product's title as the document name. The document includes comprehensive product details organized into sections: basic info (ID, vendor, type, tags), product images with alt text, a formatted table showing all variants with pricing and inventory data, the full product description, and shipping details for each variant. The document also includes clickable links to view the product in your store and displays creation dates in a readable format. You can customize the document template by modifying the text structure, adding your company branding, or including additional fields that matter to your business.
