Use ChatGPT for text generation and Zapier to run the pipeline. Quick plan:
- Prompt: system voice + user template with placeholders {SKU},{title},{features}; require tone, length, 3 bullets, and a short SEO title.
- Bulk/rate limits: export SKUs in chunks (50–200), run one Zap per chunk, add exponential backoff on 429s and 1–2s delays between calls.
- Mapping: use Zapier Formatter to clean inputs, map outputs to exact CSV columns, include SKU for traceability.
