Transform Shopify Products into SEO Blog Content with DeepSeek AI and Google Sheets

Overview

Stop struggling with content creation for your e-commerce store. This workflow acts as your automated AI Content Marketer, instantly transforming your Shopify product details into high-quality, SEO-optimized blog posts. It handles everything from reading product data to writing the article and uploading it directly to your store as a draft.

What this workflow does

• Fetches Product Data: Automatically pulls product titles and descriptions directly from your Shopify store (configurable limit).
• Data Logging: Backs up the raw product data into Google Sheets for record-keeping before processing.
• AI SEO Writing: Uses a powerful LLM (via OpenRouter/DeepSeek) to write a complete, engaging blog post based on the product's features. It generates an SEO-friendly title and formats the body content in clean HTML (headings, bullet points, etc.).
• Smart Parsing: A custom Code node ensures the AI's output is strictly formatted as JSON, separating the Blog Title from the Blog Content to prevent errors.
• Auto-Drafting in Shopify: Uploads the generated article directly to your specific Shopify Blog ID as a "Draft" (so you can review it before publishing).
• Email Notification: Sends a confirmation email via Gmail to let you know your new blog posts are ready for review.

Setup Requirements

To run this workflow, you will need to set up credentials in n8n for the following services:

• Shopify Admin API: To fetch products and create articles. (You will need your Shop Name and an Access Token).
• OpenRouter (or OpenAI): To power the AI Agent. The template is configured for DeepSeek via OpenRouter, but can be swapped for OpenAI.
• Google Sheets: To log product data and generated blog content.
• Gmail: To send the completion notification.

How to use

• Configure Variables: Double-click the "Variables" node (Set node) at the start of the workflow. Enter your shop name (e.g., my-store from my-store.myshopify.com) and your blogId (found in the URL when viewing your blog in Shopify Admin).
• Connect Google Sheets: Open the Google Sheets nodes and map them to a sheet in your Drive. Ensure your sheet has columns for ID, Title, and Description.
• Select AI Model: In the Chat Model node, ensure your API key is connected (OpenRouter is used by default for cost-efficiency).
• Run: Execute the workflow. It will process your products and populate your Shopify Blog with new drafts automatically.
