🚀 AI Facebook Ad Scraper & Analyzer – Automated Intelligence Workflow
Fully automated competitor ad intelligence using Facebook Ad Library → Categorized → Analyzed → Logged → Ready for execution.
📌 Overview
This workflow is a complete automated intelligence system for analyzing Facebook Ads at scale. Designed for agencies, growth teams, media buyers, and founders who want structured insights—not screenshots and guesswork.
This automation scrapes ads, classifies them using logic-based routing, analyzes creatives with LLMs, extracts descriptions, rewrites ad copy, and stores everything in a structured sheet for long-term intelligence tracking.
This includes: ✓ Creatives (Video/Image/Text) ✓ Summary of the ad ✓ Rewritten copy for repurposing ✓ AI-generated creative prompts ✓ Advertiser metadata
Data is scraped using Appify (Facebook Ad Library API Wrapper) and processed with n8n.
🧠 What This Workflow Actually Does
- Initiates a scraping pipeline

- Categorizes ads dynamically:
- Video ads
- Image ads
- Text‑only ads
- Uses Gemini to visually analyze videos
- Uses GPT‑4.5/GPT‑4o to summarize and rewrite ad copy
- Pushes structured intelligence into Google Sheets
- Stores video files automatically so that AI can analyze them accurately

🔎 Scraping Layer
Using the Appify workflow scraper:

Before processing ads, system eliminates low‑signal advertisers:
- Ads from pages with “We know competitors are winning—but we don’t know exactly why.”
This workflow turns: ❌ guessing → into clarity ❌ screenshots → into structured intelligence ❌ expensive manual research → into automation
