Description

This template takes a product URL and produces publish-ready Meta ads without the busywork.

Perfect for: agencies, performance marketers, founders who need repeatable creative and less manual setup.

Highlights

  • Form-based intake (client-friendly)

  • Vision cues for on-brand visuals
  • Platform-safe 1:1 images and copy lengths
  • Auto placements by default (or customize)
  • Creates assets in PAUSED so you stay in control

What’s inside

  • Form Trigger : “AI Ad Creation”
  • Firecrawl : scrape product content + images
  • OpenAI (LLM + Vision) : clean JSON + aesthetic/emotion cues
  • Creative Brief Builder : merges product facts with tone/goals
  • Campaign JSON Generator : campaign + ad_sets as strict schema
  • OpenAI Images : 1:1 creatives (1024×1024 by default)
  • Meta Graph API : upload assets, create creatives, campaign, ad sets, and ads (PAUSED)
  • Split / Batch / Wait / If / Set / Merge : stable, scalable processing

How it works

Form → Firecrawl scrape → Product JSON (LLM) → Vision style cues → Creative brief
→ Campaign JSON (LLM) → Split into ad sets → For each ad set:
→ Generate image → Upload to Meta → Create Creative → Create Campaign → Create Ad Set → Create Ad (PAUSED)

Form Testing

  • If scraping fails, verify Firecrawl key and the site’s policies.

Meta Upload

  • Set ad_account_id, facebook_page_id, pixel_id, website_link.
  • If uploads fail, check account permissions and app scopes.

OpenAI Images

  • Default: 1:1, 1024×1024.
  • You can change size in the Images node (keep FB/IG safe zones).
  • Prompts should avoid policy-sensitive claims.

Safety & Review

  • Everything is created PAUSED.
  • Review copy, claims, and targeting for compliance.
  • Enable after quality checks.

Security & compliance

  • Secrets live in n8n Credentials or environment variables—never in nodes.
  • Follow Meta ad policies (no restricted claims, no before/after, etc.).
  • Product facts only; unknown fields remain null/empty arrays.

Performance tips

  • Start with auto placements ; test Feed/Reels later if needed.
  • Keep primary text 125–200 chars ; headline short (testimonial-style in quotes).
  • Use the best product image as reference.
  • Scale carefully: tune Batch and Wait for your throughput.

FAQ

Does it publish automatically?
No. Ads are created PAUSED for review.

Instagram-only campaigns?
Yes. Set placements to IG (or keep auto and let Meta optimize).

Thin product pages?
Extractor returns null for missing fields; the brief adapts without inventing data.

Bring my own audiences?
Swap the generated audience block for your saved audiences or static lists.

Change image model/size?
Yes—edit the OpenAI Images node (model/size). Keep 1:1 for FB/IG.
