How to Run Your Shopify Store's Social Media With an AI Manager: Products, Lifestyle Photos and a Week of Posts (6 Prompts)

Quick Answer

Install the Autoadify app from the Shopify App Store and your products sync into Autoadify. Then open AI Manager and ask in plain words: which products to feature, a lifestyle image for each from its product photo, captions per platform, and a week of posts. AI Manager reads your real catalog, so prices and links are right, and the week arrives as drafts you schedule with one click.

What you need

• A Shopify store with the Autoadify app installed
• Autoadify with AI Manager
• Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest or TikTok connected in Autoadify

The hard part of store social media isn't writing a caption. It's the loop around it: open the product, copy the price, download the photo, make it look less like a catalog shot, write it four ways, schedule it. An AI that can see your catalog cuts the loop to a conversation.

1. Connect your store (once)

1. Install Autoadify from the Shopify App Store, or connect the store from Accounts in Autoadify.
2. Your products sync: titles, descriptions, prices, images and product links. Autoadify reads products only, never customers or orders.
3. Connect the social accounts you post to, for example Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok.

2. Pick what to post (prompt 1)

Prompt 1. Show me 6 products worth featuring this week: our top sellers if you can see sales, otherwise in-stock items from the autumn collection. Include price and the main photo.

AI Manager calls search_products. If your store shares sales numbers it can sort by best sellers; if not, it says so and lists in-stock products for you to choose from, rather than guessing which ones sell.

3. Turn product photos into lifestyle images (prompts 2–3)

Prompt 2. For the linen shirt, keep the shirt exactly as it is and put it on a model walking through a sunny old-town street. 4:5 for Instagram.

Prompt 3. Do the same for the other five: each in a setting that suits it, same warm autumn light so they look like one shoot.

This uses edit_image on the product photo itself, so the product stays the product (more on this in how to edit photos with AI). Write each prompt as change plus keep: what to change (the setting), what to keep (the product, its colour and label). Tick your logo and brand colours above the chat if every image should carry them.

4. Write it for every platform (prompt 4)

Prompt 4. Write captions for each product: a hook and price for Instagram, a keyword-rich description with the link for Pinterest, and a short punchy line for Facebook. Use the real prices from the store.

5. Plan the week (prompts 5–6)

Prompt 5. Spread these across the week: one product a day at 12pm on Instagram and Facebook, Pinterest at 8pm. Put it all on one plan.

AI Manager builds a content plan with schedule_content_plan. The posts arrive as drafts on a plan card in the chat, using the exact captions and images you approved. Nothing is scheduled until you click Schedule.

Prompt 6. Swap Wednesday and Friday, and make Friday's caption mention free shipping over $50.

Edit in the chat, then schedule the whole plan in one click. Everything lands in your Autoadify calendar.

Make it automatic for new products

For products you add later, an AI Workflow with the new-product trigger writes and posts on its own, the moment a product is published in Shopify. Use AI Manager for planned weeks and the workflow for launches. The full set-up: Shopify social media automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AI Manager see my orders or customers?

No. The sync is products only: titles, descriptions, prices, images and links.

Will it call something a best seller when it isn't?

No. It only ranks by sales when the store provides sales numbers, and it is told never to call a product a best seller without them.

Does it work with WooCommerce too?

Yes. Connect a WooCommerce store and the same prompts work; you can also have both connected and ask for products from either.

The Bottom Line

Give the AI your catalog and it stops making things up about your products. Six prompts take you from "what should we post?" to a week of lifestyle images and captions, waiting for one click.
