What are tasks?

Tasks in Artomate are automated workflows that handle the entire process of creating and uploading poster listings to your store. Instead of manually generating each image, creating mockups, and uploading listings, tasks automate these steps for you.

What Tasks Do

A task can automatically:

  • Generate AI images: Create multiple unique poster designs based on your prompt.
  • Create mockups: Generate mockup images for each design
  • Generate SEO content: Create optimized titles, tags, and descriptions
  • Upload to Etsy: Automatically create listings in your Etsy/Shopify store

How Tasks Work

When you create a task:

  1. Configure the task: Set up your prompt, number of variations, and upload settings
  2. Start the task: The task begins processing in the background
  3. Monitor progress: Watch as images are generated, mockups created, and listings uploaded

Task Status and Management

Tasks have different statuses:

  • Pending: Task is queued and waiting to start
  • Running: Task is actively processing
  • Completed: Task finished successfully
  • Failed: Task encountered an error (can often be retried)
  • Paused: Task is temporarily stopped

Benefits of Using Tasks

Tasks help you:

  • Scale your business without manual work
  • Generate and upload hundreds of listings automatically
  • Save time by automating repetitive processes
  • Maintain consistency across your listings
  • Focus on strategy while tasks handle execution

💡 Pro Tip

Start with small tasks to test your templates and settings before running large bulk tasks. This helps you refine your approach and avoid wasting credits.
