About the Agent
Automated Product Entry Workflow Using OpenAI + Zopoxo WMS + n8n
Overview
The Smart Product Listing Agent is a browser-integrated automation workflow that simplifies and accelerates the process of listing products on Shopify. By scraping product data from any e-commerce website and processing it via an AI-enhanced backend, the system automatically creates clean, structured, and editable draft listings inside Zopoxo WMS, ready for publishing on Shopify.
Powered by n8n, OpenAI, and a custom Chrome Extension, this solution removes the manual grunt work of product creation— or scraped data into fully prepared product drafts in minutes.
Challenges
Before implementing this automation, ecommerce team faced operational bottlenecks:
Manual Data Entry Pain
Listing each product on Shopify involved copy-pasting titles, descriptions, and images—a slow, error-prone process.
Inconsistent Product Information
Raw product details from sources like WhatsApp or third-party sites were often unstructured and lacked clarity.
Image Handling Complexity
Downloading and uploading product images manually added further friction to the listing workflow.
Scaling Issues
For teams managing multiple SKUs daily, maintaining consistency and speed became difficult without automation.

Workflow Breakdown
Product Data Capture
Product information (title, description, images) is scraped from any e-commerce product page using a custom Chrome Extension.
Webhook Trigger
The Chrome Extension sends this scraped data to a server via webhook trigger to n8n.
Payload Filtering
Server-side filtering removes unnecessary elements and retains only essential data
- Product Title
- Description
- Images
- Optional: Brand, Model, Pricing
AI Data Structuring (OpenAI Node)
OpenAI processes the raw product text to generate:
- Clean, SEO-optimized Title
- Readable, benefit-focused Description
- Structured Metadata (e.g., model, material, brand)
Image Handling
Product images are downloaded and stored locally or made available for preview/download in the browser.
Draft Creation in Zopoxo WMS
The structured product is then pushed to Zopoxo WMS via API in draft mode, prepped for further edits or instant publishing to Shopify.
Teams Message Sender
Posts project summaries in designated Microsoft Teams channels for:
- Project Managers
- Team Leads
- Clients (if needed)
