How it works

  • User submits a keyword through a form to trigger the workflow.
  • Ads matching the keyword are scraped from Facebook Ads Library.
  • Ads are filtered by media type (image or video).
  • Images are analyzed using an AI model to describe visuals and text.
  • Videos are downloaded, processed, and sent to Gemini for visual and spoken content analysis.
  • Text, URLs, and media descriptions are compiled.
  • All ad insights are saved into a Google Sheet for easy viewing.

Set up steps

  • Requires Apify and Gemini API credentials, Google Sheets access, and OpenAI key.
  • Import the workflow into n8n and connect accounts to form, HTTP, and Sheets nodes.
  • Provide form trigger URL for user input; no advanced config needed.
  • Estimated setup time: ~15–20 minutes for a user familiar with n8n.
  • Sticky notes inside the workflow provide helpful guidance per section.

n8n Workflow: Facebook Ads Competitive Analysis with Gemini and OpenAI

This n8n workflow automates the process of performing competitive analysis on Facebook Ads, leveraging the power of Google Sheets, OpenAI, and potentially other AI models (implied by "Gemini" in the directory name, though only OpenAI is explicitly in the JSON). It allows you to feed ad data into the system and receive AI-generated insights.

What it does

This workflow streamlines competitive analysis by:

  1. Triggering from a Form Submission: Initiates the workflow when a user submits data via an n8n form.
  2. Extracting File Data: Processes an uploaded file (likely containing ad data) from the form submission.
  3. Reading Google Sheet Data: Retrieves existing competitive ad data from a Google Sheet.
  4. Merging Data: Combines the newly submitted ad data with the existing data from Google Sheets.
  5. Preparing Data for AI Analysis: Uses an "Edit Fields (Set)" node to structure the merged data for subsequent AI processing.
  6. Looping for Batch Processing: Iterates through the combined ad data in batches, ensuring efficient processing by the AI models.
  7. Conditional AI Processing: Employs a "Switch" node, suggesting different AI models or processing paths could be used based on certain conditions (e.g., ad type, campaign goal).
  8. Analyzing with OpenAI: Sends ad data to OpenAI for analysis, likely generating insights, summaries, or competitive intelligence.
  9. Waiting (Optional Delay): Includes a "Wait" node, which might be used to manage API rate limits or introduce a delay between processing batches.
  10. Further Processing (Implied): The workflow is set up to allow for additional steps after AI analysis, such as updating the Google Sheet with insights, sending notifications, or storing results elsewhere.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance to import and execute the workflow.
  • Google Sheets Account: Configured with a Google Sheets credential in n8n to read competitive ad data.
  • OpenAI API Key: An OpenAI API key configured as a credential in n8n for AI analysis.
  • n8n Form: An n8n form set up to trigger the workflow and accept file uploads.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your Google Sheets credential.
    • Set up your OpenAI API key credential.
  3. Configure Google Sheets Node: Update the "Google Sheets" node (ID: 18) with the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name where your competitive ad data is stored.
  4. Configure OpenAI Node: Ensure the "OpenAI" node (ID: 1250) is configured with the appropriate model and prompt for your competitive analysis needs.
  5. Configure n8n Form Trigger: Access the "n8n Form Trigger" node (ID: 1225) to get the URL for your form. You can customize the form fields to accept relevant ad data (e.g., ad copy, image URLs, target audience, platform).
  6. Activate the Workflow: Save and activate the workflow.
  7. Submit Data: Submit data through the n8n form to trigger the competitive analysis. The workflow will process the data, perform AI analysis, and prepare the output for subsequent actions (which can be extended based on your needs).

The Telegram bot (created with BotFather) connects directly to your n8n instance. Demo Guidance The RAG agent and instructor guide the user step-by-step through the demo. Instructions and responses are dynamically generated based on user input. Workflow Execution When the user triggers an action (e.g., testing the email demo), n8n runs the workflow. The workflow collects website data using Crawl4AI or standard HTTP requests. Email Demo The system personalizes and sends a demo email through SparkPost, showing the automation’s capability. Logging and Control Each user interaction is logged in your database using their name and id. The workflow checks limits to prevent misuse or spam. Error Handling If a low-CPU scraping method fails, the workflow automatically escalates to a higher-CPU method. ⚙️ Requirements Before setting up, make sure you have the following: n8n — Automation platform to run the workflow Docker — Required to run Crawl4AI Crawl4AI — For intelligent website crawling Telegram Account — To create your Telegram bot via BotFather SparkPost Account — To send personalized demo emails A database (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite) — To store log data such as user name and ID 🚀 Features Telegram interface using the BotFather API Instructor and RAG agent to guide prospects through the demo Flow generation limits per user ID to prevent abuse Low-cost yet powerful web scraping, escalating from low- to high-CPU flows if earlier ones fail --- 💡 Development Ideas Replace the RAG logic with your own query-answering and guidance method Remove the flow limit if you’re confident the demo can’t be misused Swap the personalized email demo with any other workflow you want to showcase --- 🧠 Technical Notes Telegram bot created with BotFather Website crawl process: Extract sub-links via /sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, or standard HTTP requests Fall back to Crawl4AI if normal requests fail Fetch sub-link content via HTTPS or Crawl4AI as backup SparkPost used for sending demo emails --- ⚙️ Setup Instructions Create a Telegram Bot Use BotFather on Telegram to create your bot and get the API token.
