The problem it solves

Uploading each new ad creative into Meta Ads Manager by hand, filling in headlines and placements every time, eats up hours when you're running lots of campaigns. Tracking which files have already been uploaded in a spreadsheet adds even more manual work on top.

Who it fits

Marketing teams and agencies running frequent Meta ad campaigns with many creatives.

How it works

  1. Watches a Google Drive folder for new video or image files
  2. Reads campaign details like headlines and text from Google Sheets
  3. Uploads the video or images to Meta Ads Manager
  4. Builds the ad with the right creative and placement settings
  5. Updates the spreadsheet with the new ad's status and ID
