How it works

3 steps to start receiving AI-generated tags for every new Etsy listing you create

Active Listing Created

App connector: Etsy • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: This trigger monitors your Etsy shop for newly created active listings and kicks off the entire tag generation process automatically.

This step connects to your Etsy shop and checks for new active listings you've created. You'll need to select your Etsy shop from the dropdown menu or enter your Shop ID (found in your Etsy shop's URL). Once configured, this trigger automatically captures listing details like `{{etsy.title}}`, `{{etsy.description}}`, and `{{etsy.listing_id}}` whenever you publish a new listing. These details get passed to the AI step for tag generation.

Prompt (AI Tag Generation)

App connector: AI • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This AI step analyzes your listing title and description to generate 13 SEO-optimized tags that help your products appear in relevant Etsy searches.

The AI receives your listing title via `{{etsy.title}}` and description via `{{etsy.description}}` from the previous step and processes them through a specialized Etsy SEO prompt. The AI generates exactly 13 tags under 20 characters each, focusing on product type, materials, style, occasions, and gift potential while avoiding duplicates. The generated tags are stored in `{{ai.response}}` and formatted as a comma-separated list ready for Etsy's tag requirements.

Update Listing

App connector: Etsy • Time to complete: 1 minute
Why this matters: This action automatically applies the AI-generated tags to your Etsy listing, completing the SEO optimization without manual copy-pasting.

This step takes the AI-generated tags from `{{ai.response}}` and updates your Etsy listing using the `{{etsy.listing_id}}` captured in step 1. You'll select the same Etsy shop you configured in step 1, and the workflow automatically populates the listing's tag field with the 13 optimized tags. The update happens immediately after the AI generates the tags, so your listing gets optimized within minutes of creation.
