Use AdSpy with Adrails: from a Facebook ad search to a live test
AdSpy is a search engine for Facebook and Instagram ads, with filters for ad text, comments, URLs, demographics and affiliate networks. It finds what runs. Adrails takes over once you have made your own version and prepares the Meta launch for approval.

Step by step
Without Adrails, and with it
What AdSpy already does stays as it is. What changes is everything after it.
| Step | AdSpy alone | AdSpy +Adrails |
|---|---|---|
| Find what is winning | Search ad text, comments, URLs and demographics in 225 countries. | Unchanged. AdSpy stays the search tool. |
| Make your version | Brief and produce your own creatives from what you saved. | Unchanged. Your team or your creative tool produces them. |
| Get the files into Meta | Upload each file in Ads Manager and assign it to its ad. | Drop the images into the conversation. Adrails reads each one's shape. |
| Build the test | Create the campaign, the ad sets and the ads by hand. | Pick one of three layouts. The agent builds the whole hierarchy. |
| Formats and copy | Crop for each placement and write the text of each ad. | Missing formats are asked for. Copy is written, reused or yours. |
| Before spend starts | Your own check of each screen before Publish. | The whole launch is shown with exact values and waits for approval. |
| Read the results | Ads Manager on one side, store orders on the other. | The Analysis Expert reads Meta results next to Shopify orders. |
| Cut or scale | Edit by hand. Why it changed is not written anywhere. | Proposed with evidence, applied after approval, kept with its before and after. |
01
What AdSpy answers, and where it stops
AdSpy indexes more than 211 million ads from over 30 million advertisers in 88 languages. You can search the ad text, the comments under it, the landing page URL and the technology behind it, and sort by how long an ad has been running.
It is a search database. It does not connect to an ad account, and its site describes no export or saved boards, so what you learn leaves AdSpy as notes and as your own creative.
02
Longevity is their signal, your account is yours
The longest running filter is AdSpy's strongest signal: advertisers rarely keep paying for an ad that loses. It still describes their account, not yours.
Launching three angles as one ad set each gives every hypothesis comparable delivery. The Analysis Expert then reads spend and results back from your account, so the next search starts from what worked for you.

FAQ
Common questions
Does Adrails integrate with AdSpy?
Not directly. You research in AdSpy, produce your own creatives, and Adrails launches them once you drop them into the conversation.
Can I launch a competitor's ad exactly as I found it?
You should not. A competitor's video, images and copy belong to that competitor, and reusing them can breach copyright and Meta's advertising policies. Use what you find as a reference for the angle, hook and format, then launch creative you own.
Does anything publish to Meta without my approval?
No. The agent prepares the launch and shows the account, structure, budget and ads it will create. Nothing is written to Meta until a person approves it.
