Create a WooCommerce product when a new Gelato store product is created

When a new store product is created in Gelato, FlowMattic creates a product in your WooCommerce store from the details you map, so new print-on-demand designs show up in your shop without re-entering them.

The Create a WooCommerce product when a new Gelato store product is created workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Gelato, WooCommerce — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

If you design products in Gelato but sell from WooCommerce, each new design means typing the same product twice. This workflow does the second entry for you.

As soon as Gelato reports a newly created store product, the workflow starts. Its details come into FlowMattic as data you can map. The WooCommerce step then creates a new product in your store, using the Gelato values you map into it, such as the title and description, if the trigger returns them. Anything Gelato does not send, such as your selling price, you can fill in on the product in WooCommerce afterwards.

This workflow only creates the product. It does not send WooCommerce orders to Gelato for printing, and it does not keep the two products in sync if you edit either one later. Each new Gelato store product creates one WooCommerce product. Review a test product in WooCommerce before you leave the workflow running.

New t-shirt designs for a WooCommerce shop

You add a design to your Gelato store, and a matching product is created in WooCommerce for you to review and adjust.

Seasonal collections

Before a holiday, you create a batch of Gelato products. Each one becomes a WooCommerce product, so you only need to check and adjust them.

Keeping a second sales channel stocked

Your Gelato catalog feeds another channel, and this workflow creates each new product in your WooCommerce store too.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

What you need

FlowMatticCore
Gelato AccountAccount
WooCommerce PluginPlugin

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Create a test product in Gelato after import, then look at the captured data in FlowMattic to see which values you can map into the WooCommerce product.
Add a Slack or email step after WooCommerce so you are told when a new product is created and can review it in your store.
Add a Filter after the Gelato trigger if only some new products should be sold in WooCommerce, using a value the trigger returns.
