Photos in a folder, product live in WooCommerce: a Make.com + n8n pipeline for a refurbished-tools shop

Description and use

Automation pipeline for a refurbished‑tools shop: photos uploaded to Google Drive, processed by Make.com and n8n, products created in WooCommerce, and social posts generated automatically.

Problem

A refurbished‑tools shop needs to photograph, clean up, and list each unit manually, which is time‑consuming and risks inconsistent photo quality.

Outcome

The pipeline reduced manual steps to a single photo upload, enabling continuous product listing and automated social posts while keeping the shop untouched.

Workflow

• Upload photos to Google Drive folder
• Make.com watches folder and triggers scenario
• Upscale photos via image‑processing API
• Remove background via API
• Create product in WooCommerce via REST API with gallery
• n8n workflow builds Instagram and Facebook posts from live product

Evidence

For every product the same chain of steps: Photograph the product. Move the photos to the computer and sort them. Fix the quality. Remove the background. Upload to WooCommerce and create the product. Fill in the name and attributes and assign a category.

Source

Input: photos land in a Google Drive folder. Nothing else is required from a person.

Make.com orchestrates the product chain; n8n handles the social posts.

Source

The whole solution runs outside WooCommerce and talks to it, and to the social networks, only through official APIs. No plugin, no edits to the theme or the shop's code.
