n8n makes on-model photos for a small clothing shop
A poster on the n8n forum set up a workflow for a friend who runs a small clothing shop and was paying for a studio shoot every time new stock landed. When she drops a flat product photo into a Google Drive folder, n8n sends it with a saved model photo to an AI try-on service, waits for the result, writes the image link next to the item's code in Google Sheets and posts the before and after in Slack so she can check it before it goes live. He says it took about 30 minutes to set up and has held up for two months.
Copy this prompt
Help me set up an n8n workflow for my shop. When I add a product photo named by its SKU to my Google Drive folder [FOLDER NAME], send it with my saved model photo to [IMAGE TRY-ON SERVICE], check until the result is ready (at most 2 retries), save the image link next to the SKU in my Google Sheet [SHEET NAME] and post the original and the result in Slack for me to approve. Skip any SKU that already has an image so I don't pay twice. Explain each step in plain words.

Watch out for
- Check every image before it goes live. AI try-on can change the fit, color or details of a garment, and customers return what doesn't match.
- Each render usually costs money with image services. Set a monthly cap with the service.
- Name files by SKU before they reach the folder, as the poster did, so each result lands on the right product.
