Analyze Top-Performing Ad Creatives in Minutes

Gumloop is generous with free credits, and the source notes you can build this whole flow on a free account.

In Gumloop, create a new flow and enter this prompt:

Make a flow that takes a url to Facebook ad library account and scrapes all of its static (not video) ads and puts all of the data in a new row in a google sheet. It sends the static creative image to AI with a prompt telling it to reverse engineer a prompt you could put into an image generator to get the creative generated

Pro tip: You can use Gumloop’s agent to build this out for you, or you can build it manually by starting with trigger or integration options. You can also ask the agent for help while you’re in a flow.

Create a new Google Sheet that matches the structure shown below.

If you have access to the duplicate sheet template from the original guide, you can use that instead of creating the sheet manually.

Pro tip: The Gumloop agent should tell you exactly what headers to put in your sheet. Even if you use a template, once you link it in the next step, the agent will adjust to your column headers.

After the Google Sheets module is added, click “Authenticate Credentials” and connect your Google account. You won’t need to add more credentials after this step.

Once your account is connected, paste the link to your Google Sheet into the module and click continue in the agent sidebar.

• Go to the Facebook Ads Library and search for a competitor.
• Verify that the competitor has static image ads.
• Click the competitor’s name to go to their profile.
• Copy the link to their profile.
• Paste the link into your first Gumloop module.

Make sure your flow matches the setup shown. Don’t worry if you’re missing the extra two inputs; they’re only needed if you’re running this on a schedule and want to record when it was run.

Click the big pink “Run” button to test the flow.

Next, set up a weekly automation that looks at a list of your competitors and pulls ads for each of them.

Manually create a new flow that triggers the scraping. It should look like this:

• Make a new tab in your Google Sheet with columns for “Competitor Name” and “Competitor Profile URL”.

• Go back to Gumloop and choose the option to start with an integration.
• Select Google Sheets Reader, add the link to your sheet, and select the new tab.
• Click the “+” button, find the “Time Trigger,” and configure it to run when you want. Weekly should be fine.
• Click the “+” button again, find your scraper flow under “Subflow,” and connect it to your Google Sheets module.
• Add your Google Sheets “Competitor Profile URL” as the input to your subflow.
• Save your flow and run a test if you like.
