AI alt text generation with viaSocket

How it works

viaSocket lets you connect apps using simple triggers and actions. When an image is uploaded, updated, or moved between systems, you can send its URL to AltTextLab, generate alt text, and push the result wherever it belongs.

No manual copying. No spreadsheets. No backlog of missing descriptions.

Alt text becomes part of your normal workflow, not something you fix later.

What you can build

• Generate alt text when images are added
  Trigger workflows from cloud storage, e-commerce platforms, CMS uploads, or any connected app. As soon as an image appears, alt text is created.
• Keep your content up to date
  Send generated descriptions back to your store, blog, product catalog, or database automatically.
• Work without custom development
  Set everything up in viaSocket’s visual builder. If you need more control, you can extend workflows with webhooks or API steps.
• Support multiple languages
  Generate alt text in 130+ languages for international sites and multi-region catalogs.
• Make accessibility consistent
  Instead of relying on manual input, ensure every image receives a clear, structured description as part of your process.

2. Choose a trigger app (for example, when a new image is uploaded).
3. Add the AltTextLab action to generate alt text from an image URL.
4. Send the generated alt text to your destination app (CMS, store, database, etc.).
5. Activate your workflow and let automation handle the rest.
