Automate Social Media Posts for New Webflow Products with BuildShip and Flux

Introduction

Creating consistent, engaging content for social media can be a daunting task. With so many social media platforms, each contributing to your online presence, posting and tailoring content for each is difficult. Not to mention creating beautiful engaging graphics too.

Imagine if you could automate the process of generating eye-catching Instagram posts every time a new product is added to your Webflow e-commerce website. With BuildShip's powerful automation capabilities, this is now possible. In this blog post, we'll explore how you can use BuildShip to create unique and captivating Instagram posts that perfectly complement your newly added Webflow products. This same principle can then be extended to any platform of your choice from LinkedIn to X(Twitter), Facebook, etc.

Step 1: Set Up a Webflow Trigger

The first step in automating your Instagram posts is to set up a workflow that triggers every time a new product is added to your Webflow website. BuildShip makes this process easily by providing a pre-built template called "Webflow Item Created Instagram Post." Simply clone this template and authenticate it to your Webflow website.

Configure the trigger to listen for "collection item created" events, ensuring that the automation kicks in whenever a new product is added to your e-commerce section. Don't forget to add your site ID, which can be found in the Webflow dashboard under site settings.

Step 2: Generate Quirky Captions with JSON Generator

Next, it's time to get creative with your Instagram captions. BuildShip's JSON Generator node allows you to use the power of OpenAI's advanced models to generate fun and quirky copy inspired by your new product. By providing the name of your food product, which is obtained from the payload sent by the Webflow trigger, you can create attention-grabbing captions that align with your brand's tone. Experiment with different prompts and OpenAI models to find the perfect balance for your Instagram posts.

Step 3: Create Stunning Images with Text-to-Image Generator

To complement your captivating captions, BuildShip integrates with Foul AI to generate vibrant and surreal images. The Text-to-Image Generator node utilizes the cutting-edge Flux model available through Foul AI, ensuring that your Instagram posts not only stand out but also resonate with your audience. The generated imagery will perfectly match the quirky and engaging captions, creating a cohesive and impactful social media presence.

Step 4: Compile and Automate with Return Node

Once the content is generated, BuildShip's Return node comes into play. This node compiles the generated image URL and caption into a JSON object, ready for you to use. By integrating this workflow with the Webflow Product Generator template showcased in a previous video, you can create a seamless automation process. Set the Product Generator workflow to run at your desired frequency, and whenever a new product is created in Webflow, BuildShip will automatically generate a captivating Instagram post to accompany it.
