The problem it solves

Manually uploading creative files and setting up each Facebook ad one by one is slow, especially when you're launching dozens at once. It's also easy to make naming or tracking mistakes when you're moving fast.

Who it fits

Marketing teams and agencies who launch large volumes of Facebook ads from creative stored in Google Drive.

How it works

  1. You submit a form with a Drive link, ad copy, and target URL
  2. The system fetches the media file from Google Drive
  3. A new Facebook ad is created using the file name and tracking parameters
  4. The ad is published to the specified ad set
  5. A Slack message confirms success or reports an error

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
