Use BigSpy with Adrails: from a cross-channel angle to a Meta test
BigSpy is an ad intelligence tool covering Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, AppLovin and more, with competitor following and product data. It finds and downloads creatives. Adrails is where your own version becomes a Meta test that waits for approval.

Step by step
Without Adrails, and with it
What BigSpy already does stays as it is. What changes is everything after it.
| Step | BigSpy alone | BigSpy +Adrails |
|---|---|---|
| Find what is winning | Search and filter creatives, follow competitor pages and domains. | Unchanged. BigSpy stays the research 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 BigSpy answers, and where it stops
BigSpy reports over a billion ad creatives from nearly 10 million advertisers, in more than 80 countries and 26 languages. It removes duplicates, lets you follow pages and domains, and adds product data from 40 ecommerce sites including Shopify and Amazon.
Its downloads are for studying creatives. BigSpy has no connection to your ad account, so the launch happens elsewhere.
02
A cross-channel signal, a Meta test
An angle that runs on TikTok, YouTube and Facebook at the same time is rarely an accident. BigSpy shows that spread; your Meta account shows whether it works for your offer.
Adrails reads the shape of every image you drop in and asks for what Feed, Stories and Reels still need, so a creative made for another channel is not stretched across every placement.

FAQ
Common questions
Does Adrails integrate with BigSpy?
Not directly. BigSpy is where you research, and Adrails launches the creatives you produce 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.
