Imagine this: you’ve got a list of properties ready to be published, but you're stuck waiting for the design team to finish the templates. How depressive is that?

Well, not anymore.

What if I told you that you only need to design your template once, and from there, you can automatically update all the details, like price, description, bedrooms, bathrooms, and garage space, for every new property listing?

Yes, you heard that right. No more repetitive editing.

All you need is a clean, branded real estate template. I’ve created one from scratch. This setup is a game-changer for real estate agents, marketers, and agencies who regularly publish property ads with similar layouts but changing content. Whether it’s leasing announcements, property highlights, or open house alerts, this method keeps your visuals sharp and consistent, without the manual hassle.

So, let’s start and automate your real estate template the smart way. Your design should work for you, not slow you down.

How to Automate Your Real Estate Template Using Templated and Make

What Tools do you need?

To create this automation, you will need to do this first.

  1. You have to create an account on Make.com ( Get 1000 credits free)
  2. Account on Templated for the API key. (Get 50 free credits)
  3. Google Sheets access for the matter you want to change.

Step 1: Create Your Real Estate Template from Scratch

Before automation, you first need a base template that will hold all your content, things like price, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, car garages, and the property description.

In this case, I designed a clean and modern real estate template using Templated. The layout includes:

  • A large hero image section for the property photo.
  • Text layers for price, address, and property highlights.
  • Icons and labels for bedrooms, bathrooms, and garages count.
  • A text box for custom property descriptions.
  • Contact details and branding at the bottom.

In this automation, we will change five layers, which are price, about description, Bedroom No., Bathroom No., and Car Garage No.

Step 2: Set up the Google Sheet

Once your template is done, the next step is to set up a Google sheet. In my Real Estate Template, I will automate the “Price”, “About Description”,” Bedroom_No.”, “Bathroom_No.” and “Car_Garage_No” layers in each thumbnail. My spreadsheet has six columns:

  1. Column A: Price
  2. Column B: About Description
  3. Column C: Bedroom_no
  4. Column D: Bathroom_no
  5. Column E: Car_Garage_no
  6. Column F: Links(this will be automatically updated after Real Estate automation)

Step 3: Create a Make scenario

Now, sign in with your make.com account, and start creating a new scenario for a new automation.

First Module: Google Sheets – Watch New Rows

This module monitors a specific sheet in a Google Sheets file and triggers when a new row is added.

Second Module: Templated - Create a Render(image or PDF)

Now, add another module and choose the templated module.

To have access, you will need the API_KEY of your account. You can get it easily by clicking on the left side of API Integration.

From the dropdown menu, select your Template name under Template ID.

Mapping Layers

  • Layer name “price” mapped with Google sheet column A.
  • Layer name “about description” mapped with column B.
  • Layer name “bedroom_no” mapped with column C.
  • Layer name “bathroom_no” mapped with column D.
  • Layer name “garage_no” mapped with column E.

Third Module: Google Sheet- Update a Row

Add a Google Sheet module (update a row). This step makes sure that after the Image has been generated, the image Links are added to the corresponding cells in the Google sheet automatically.

Testing the scenario

Right-click on the first module and select “Choose where to start”. Select “Manually” and then click Run once to test your automation.

And ta-da, here is the list of Links generated in Column F of your Google sheet. Click on the URL and check that our Layers are changed in every Real Estate Template.

Conclusion

I was showing only the text change through automation. You can also change images according to your properties, and much more can be automated. With the Templated image generation API, you can create any automation you want and save the time you waste on repetitive tasks every day.
