Automations

Built for the shop I actually run

You built the shop. Now let it work for you.

Drop in one photo and the listing writes itself, the mockups render, and four pins schedule a week apart. You get the Make.com blueprints behind it, the trackers they run on, and a guide that assumes you have never opened Make. Mine keeps the shop going on about an hour a week — the rest of my time goes to building the next thing.

Works whether you have two hundred listings or none yet.

Six scenarios, one spreadsheet. You add a listing; the first pin goes out that day and three more follow a week apart, each on a different board. You never open Pinterest.

Why trust it

This isn’t a course about automation

It’s the working system, exported. I run it on madtravels.co and MadTravelsPrints every day — when something breaks in yours, it has usually already broken in mine. Go look at the pins it posts and the listings it writes; that’s the output, not a demo.

What you download

Every automation comes as three files

No fluff. You download it, import it, and it runs.

The setup guide

A step-by-step walkthrough of the import, with the screenshot of the field you’re about to fill in. Written short on purpose — and it’s a Google Doc, so you can copy it and scribble on your own version.

The Make blueprints

The actual scenario JSON, with my keys, connection IDs and shop IDs stripped out. Import, connect your own accounts, done.

The tracker sheet

A Google Sheet template with the columns in the order the scenarios expect. This is the part people rebuild wrong; here it’s already right.

The products

Two automations

They work on their own. They work better together — the Etsy automation creates the listing, the Pinterest automation sells it.

Automation 01
Etsy Listing Automation

One row in a sheet becomes a live Printful-fulfilled listing with four size variants, mockups and tags. Built around a listing a day.

Automation 02
Pinterest Pin Automation
for Etsy listings

Four pins per listing, a week apart, each on a different board, with titles and descriptions written from real keyword data instead of guesses.

The keyword and copy step stays yours to run — the blueprints take the four fields and go from there. I run PinClicks through a scheduled Claude task every morning so the rows fill themselves; the guide covers that and the by-hand version.

The Bundle

Both automations, and the one sheet that lets the listing side hand off to the pinning side without you copying anything across.

Founding price, and it means something. The first 50 buyers get it at the price above, and every future version of it free — when I improve a blueprint or the guide, you get the new one at the same link you already have. In exchange I’ll ask you once for a testimonial and what tripped you up. After 50, the price goes to full and the free-updates promise stays.
Before you buy

What it costs to run, honestly

The automation is a one-time payment. The tools it runs on are not, and they cost more over a year than the automation does. I would rather you see that now than find out after you’ve purchased.

So the real first-year number: the Pinterest automation at the founding price plus about twelve months of tools is roughly $1,150. The Etsy automation is about $485. Three things I have checked so you don’t have to: Make’s cheapest paid plan is enough — you do not need Pro — PinClicks has to be the API tier, because the $29 plan can’t feed the copy step, and the Anthropic key is cheaper than people expect. My entire bill last month, pin copy and blog drafting together, was $1.34. If those numbers don’t work for your shop yet, don’t buy — it will still be here when they do.
Before you buy

The things you’re actually wondering

Does it write the pin copy for me?

Not on its own, and I would rather you know that before you buy than after. Blueprint 2 takes a keyword, title, description and alt text and writes them into the tracker — it does not call PinClicks or an AI model itself. That step stays in your hands. I run PinClicks through a scheduled Claude task each morning that fills the rows automatically; the guide walks through that setup, and through doing it by hand for your first few products. Everything downstream only cares that the row reaches Copy Ready.

I don’t have a shop yet — is this too early?

No, and starting now means you never build the manual habit in the first place. Your first listing goes live the same way your hundredth does. You will need the Etsy shop itself open and Printful connected before Blueprint 1 can post anything — Step 0 of the guide walks through connecting both.

Do I need to know Make?

No, and the guide assumes you don’t. You’ll need a Make account and about 30 minutes to connect Etsy, Pinterest and Google. After that you’re editing a spreadsheet, not a scenario.

What does it cost to run?

About $28 a month for the Etsy automation and $79 for the Pinterest one, broken down above. The price doesn’t include them.

Will it work for my shop?

If you sell printed products through Printful and pin them, yes, close to as-is. If you sell something else, the pinning half still works — the listing half will need the fields changed to match your product.

What happens when it breaks?

It will — an API changes, a token expires. The guide has the failures I’ve hit and the fix for each. Beyond that, email support@saturdaysystem.com and I’ll help you work it out.

Do I get future versions?

Yes, free, forever. You buy from a delivery page rather than a zip file — when I update a blueprint or rewrite part of a guide, the page you already have your link to is the one that changes.

Can I resell or share it?

No — one shop per license, and the blueprints and guides stay yours to use, not to pass on. If you want to earn from it, an affiliate program is coming; reply to any email and I’ll put you on the list.

Not ready to buy anything

Fair. I write up what I built and what broke, once a month. No launches, no countdown timers.

Still deciding

The bundle is the one I’d buy. The two automations were built to hand off to each other, and separately you end up copying rows across by hand — which is the thing you’re trying to stop doing.
