What it does

Turns the raw photos suppliers dump into a shared Dropbox folder into clean, transparent-background catalog images with zero manual editing, and keeps an Airtable row in sync for every asset so your catalog stays auditable.

When to use it

Use it when suppliers send you product photos shot on messy or inconsistent backgrounds and you need uniform cut-outs for a storefront or print sheet. Ideal for ops teams onboarding hundreds of SKUs where hand-editing in Photoshop is the bottleneck.

How it works

  1. 1A new image file landing in the watched Dropbox folder fires the trigger.
  2. 2The file is downloaded and its dimensions checked; anything under the minimum resolution is skipped so you never ship a blurry cut-out.
  3. 3The image is sent to a Replicate background-removal model and the transparent PNG comes back.
  4. 4The processed PNG is uploaded to a `cleaned/` subfolder in Dropbox.
  5. 5An Airtable record is created with the SKU (parsed from the filename), source link, cleaned link, and a Ready status, giving merchandising a single place to track every asset.
