Analyze High-Performing Ad Creatives Using Gumloop

This guide shows how to use Gumloop to analyze content with AI and quickly break down top-performing ad creatives for inspiration and replication.

Who This Is For

• Users exploring Gumloop for the first time
• Those building automated content analysis systems
• Advertisers running campaigns on Facebook

What You’ll Build

This workflow analyzes ads from the Facebook Ad Library and reverse engineers prompts to recreate each creative.

STEP 1: Create a new flow in Gumloop

Go to Gumloop and click Create Flow. Enter this prompt:

“Build a flow that takes a Facebook Ad Library URL, extracts all static (non-video) ads, logs the data into a Google Sheet, and sends each image to AI to generate a prompt that could recreate the ad.”

Tip: You can either let Gumloop’s agent generate the workflow or build it manually using triggers and integrations.

STEP 2: Prepare your Google Sheet

Create a new sheet structured to store ad data.

You can also duplicate a template if available.

Tip: Gumloop’s agent typically suggests the correct column headers and adjusts automatically once connected.

STEP 3: Connect Google Sheets

• Add the Google Sheets module
• Click Authenticate Credentials
• Connect your Google account
• Paste your sheet link into the module
• Continue setup in the agent panel

No additional credentials are required afterward.

STEP 4: Test the workflow

Go to the Facebook Ads Library and search for a competitor.

• Confirm they have static image ads
• Open their profile
• Copy the profile URL
• Paste it into your first module

Ensure your flow is correctly connected, then click Run to test.

STEP 5: Automate the process

Set up a recurring workflow to track competitors:

Create a new tab in your sheet with:

• Competitor Name
• Competitor Profile URL

In Gumloop:

• Start a new flow with Google Sheets Reader
• Link your sheet and select the new tab
• Add a Time Trigger (weekly recommended)
• Add your scraping flow as a subflow
• Map the competitor URL as input

Save and test your automation.

Going Further

• Use the Duplicate module to capture extra fields like run date or competitor name
• Explore Loop Mode in Gumloop to better understand iteration logic
• Expand the workflow to analyze video ads, Reddit posts, TikTok content, or tweets
• Add an image generation module to recreate visuals automatically

Pro Tip: Once set up, this workflow becomes a powerful system for ongoing competitor analysis and creative inspiration, saving hours of manual research.
