n8n Shopify Ads Automation: Canvra → Drive → Airtable

Turn every new Shopify product into ready-to-use ad creatives—automatically

This n8n workflow listens for new products in Shopify, sends the product page URL to Canva/Canvora to generate ad images in multiple formats, then uploads each creative to Google Drive and logs the asset details in Airtable—fully automated from product creation to organized creative storage.

What this workflow does

• Triggers on new Shopify products using the products/create topic.
• Builds the product page URL and captures the product title from the Shopify payload.
• Sends the product URL to Canvora to generate an ad set in multiple formats, including a square ad and Instagram Story and Instagram post.
• Polls Canvora for generation status, waiting between checks until the job finishes or a timeout threshold is reached.
• When successful, splits the returned outputs, downloads each generated image, and prepares it for storage.
• Uploads each image to Google Drive with a filename containing the product name and format.
• Creates an Airtable record per creative, storing the format, product, and the resulting image URL.

Use cases

• Creative teams who want instant social ads whenever a new product drops in Shopify.
• SaaS operators who need centralized creative asset management using Google Drive + Airtable for tracking.
• Automation engineers building scalable n8n pipelines for Shopify → ads generation → storage.
