Meta Ads Competitor Spy System — Import, Activate, Know Everything
Scrapes competitor Facebook & Instagram ads, analyzes them with AI, dumps everything into Google Sheets. No manual work.
This n8n workflow sells for $97+. It tracks what your competitors are running on Meta, breaks down their strategy with AI, and organizes the intel into a spreadsheet — automatically.
Think of it as hiring an ad research intern who never sleeps, never misses a campaign, and writes better notes than you do. Set it up once, let it run on schedule, and open your Google Sheet to find fresh competitor insights waiting for you.
🧠 What This Actually Does
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Scrape | Pulls competitor ads from Meta’s Ad Library (Facebook + Instagram) |
| 2. Filter | Checks if it’s a bot or legit DM trigger → routes accordingly |
| 3. Analyze | AI agent (OpenAI) breaks down ad copy, hooks, CTAs, and strategy |
| 4. Store | Everything logged into Google Sheets — organized and searchable |
| 5. Notify | Results pushed to Microsoft Teams (configurable to Slack/email) |
The workflow also connects to OneDrive, SharePoint, and Dynamics CRM — built for teams that want competitor intel flowing into their existing stack.
