Setting Up ChatGPT API for Automatic Product Title Updates in MerchFoxShop

Ready to give your MerchFoxShop product titles a fresh, automated makeover? By integrating the ChatGPT API, you can dynamically update titles to keep them engaging and optimized, all without lifting a finger! In this guide, we’ll walk you through enabling the ChatGPT app in MerchFoxShop, entering your API Secret, and creating prompts using the $title$ placeholder to insert product names. Let’s get started and make your product titles shine!

Step 1: Enable the ChatGPT App in MerchFoxShop

First, you’ll need to activate the ChatGPT app in your MerchFoxShop Admin to start automating your product titles:

• Log in to MerchFoxShop Admin: Head to your MerchFoxShop Admin dashboard.
• Navigate to Apps: In the menu, find and click on the “Apps” section.
• Enable ChatGPT App: Look for an app related to Chat GPT integration. Enable it if it’s not already active.
• Go to Settings: Once enabled, click into the app’s settings or configuration area. This is where you’ll set up the API and prompts.

Step 2: Obtain Your ChatGPT API Secret

To connect ChatGPT to MerchFoxShop, you’ll need an API Secret (also called an API Key) from OpenAI.

Here’s how to get it:

• Sign Up or Log In to OpenAI: Visit the OpenAI website (https://platform.openai.com) and either sign up for a new account or log in to your existing one.
• Access API Key: After logging in, click on the Setting icon in the upper right corner, then click on “API Key”
• Create a New Secret Key: Click the “Create new secret key” button. Give your key a name (e.g., “MerchFoxShopKey”) for easy reference, then click “Create.”
• Copy the API Secret: The key will be displayed only once, so copy it immediately and store it in a secure place (like a password manager). If you lose it, you’ll need to generate a new one by deleting the old key and creating another.

Step 3: Enter the ChatGPT API Secret in MerchFoxShop

In the ChatGPT app’s settings in MerchFoxShop Admin, look for a field labeled “API Secret”

Paste the API Secret: Paste the key you copied from OpenAI into this field.

Save the Settings: Hit the “Save Setting” button to lock in your API Secret. This connects ChatGPT to MerchFoxShop, allowing it to generate new product titles automatically.

Step 4: Create Prompts with the $title$ Placeholder

To automate title updates, you’ll need to create prompts that ChatGPT will use to rewrite your product titles. The $title$ placeholder will dynamically insert the current product name into the prompt.

Here’s how to set it up:

• Find the Prompt: In the ChatGPT app’s settings, look for a section “Prompt”. This is where you’ll define how ChatGPT rewrites your titles.
• Create a New Prompt: Click to add a new prompt. You’ll typically see a text box where you can enter your prompt.
• Use the $title$ Placeholder: Write a prompt that includes $title$ where the product name should go.

Here are a few examples of prompts you can use:

“Rewrite the product title $title$ to be more trendy and appealing for a young audience.”

“Optimize the product title $title$ for SEO by adding keywords like ‘exclusive’ and ‘limited edition.’”

“Make the product title $title$ shorter and more catchy while keeping its core meaning.”

Test Your Prompt: Test the prompt with a sample product to see how ChatGPT rewrites the title. For example, if your product title is “Blue Cotton T-Shirt,” the prompt “Rewrite the product title $title$ to be more trendy” might generate “Trendy Blue Cotton Tee for Everyday Style.”

Add the Prompt: Once you’re happy with the prompt, save it. You can create multiple prompts and choose which one to apply based on your needs.

Step 5: Configure Automatic Title Updates

Now that your prompt is ready, let’s set up the automation to update titles when products don’t sell:

• Go to Setting Nurture: In MerchFoxShop Admin, navigate to the “Setting Nurture” in Tiktok Shop / Shops. This is where you configure automated nurturing actions for your account.
• Enable Change Name: Enable it.
• Select Your Prompt: Choose the prompt you created in Step 4 to apply to unsold products.
• Save the Settings: Hit “Save” to activate the automation. Now, whenever a product doesn’t sell within your set timeframe, ChatGPT will use your prompt to rewrite its title with the $title$ placeholder dynamically replaced by the product’s current name.

Review the Logs: Head to the “Logs Nurture” section in Shops to see a history of the automated actions. Look for entries related to title updates to confirm the automation ran successfully.

Tweak as Needed: If the new titles aren’t quite what you wanted, adjust your prompt to be more specific (e.g., “Rewrite $title$ to include ‘on sale’ and target fitness enthusiasts”) and test again.

Why Automate Product Titles with ChatGPT?

This setup is a game-changer for keeping your MerchFoxShop fresh and engaging:

• Boost Appeal: Fresh titles can make unsold products more attractive to buyers.
• Save Time: No need to manually rewrite titles—ChatGPT does the heavy lifting.
