What this workflow does
- Triggers when a new product is created in Shopify
- Extracts product title, description, category, and tags
- AI Agent analyzes the product data and uses the deAPI Prompt Booster tool to create an optimized image generation prompt
- Generates a professional product image using deAPI
- Removes background to create a transparent PNG version
- Updates the Shopify product with both images (hero + transparent)
