Analyze competitor Facebook ads with AI (GPT-4 & Gemini) & email reports

Facebook Ads Competitor Creative Analysis & Automated Email Report

📝 What this workflow does

This workflow automates the process of competitor creative analysis for Facebook Pages. When a user submits their email and a target Facebook Page URL via a web form, the workflow:

• Scrapes the latest image and video Facebook ads from the submitted Page using Apify.
• Deduplicates and selects the top 5 image and top 5 video ads for further analysis.
• Applies advanced AI analysis:
  • Uses OpenAI Vision (GPT-4) to analyze image ads.
  • Uses Google Gemini to analyze video ads.
• Aggregates all ad insights and generates a structured, visually engaging creative analytics report.
• Sends the report directly to the user’s email with ad previews and detailed creative evaluation.

👥 Who is this for?

• Marketers and agencies conducting competitor research on Facebook.
• Brand managers who want quick, actionable insights into rival ad creative.
• Growth hackers and performance advertisers analyzing top-performing creative trends.
• Anyone in need of an automated, AI-based Facebook ad evaluation and reporting tool using n8n.

🎯 What problem does this workflow solve?

• Manual ad analysis is time-consuming: Scraping, filtering, and reviewing Facebook competitor ads by hand is labor-intensive.
• Creative insight requires expertise: Understanding the message, visuals, and targeting of competitor ads needs marketing/creative skill.
• Lack of automated reporting: Easily and visually summarize findings for yourself or stakeholders—without manual collation or formatting.

This workflow provides a turnkey, end-to-end solution for competitor creative analysis, combining real ad data with unbiased, AI-driven creative insights in a shareable email format.
