Facebook Ads Library Scraper Error Issue

[marcwark]

Hi, I’m running into an issue with the Facebook Ad Library Scraper node in my Gumloop flow. The node returns the message:
“Page https://www.facebook.com/diffeyewear/ is not currently running ads,”
even though I’ve confirmed that DIFF Eyewear is actively running Facebook ads.

Here’s how the flow is currently structured:

1. It starts with the company’s website URL (diffeyewear.com).
2. An AI Web Research node extracts the Facebook profile URL.
3. The Facebook Ad Library Scraper attempts to scrape ads using that URL.
4. If the first attempt fails, an If-Else node checks for errors, then extracts the display name from the profile and tries again using that name as a keyword search.

The issue is that when the initial scraper fails, the secondary path isn’t being triggered. The flow ends at the first failure rather than moving to the fallback logic.

Any guidance on how to resolve this (whether it’s an issue with error detection, flow logic, or the scraper itself) would be greatly appreciated.

Hey @marcwark! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.
   

3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

Hey @marcwark – Thank you for sharing!

This seems like an issue with the scraper, I’ll follow up with the scraper provider and let you know once I have an update.
