SaaS Ad Automation MVP Build

I have sketched out the concept for a SaaS platform that will let users both create and monitor ads on Meta and Google from one dashboard, and I’m ready to turn the idea into a functional MVP. Creation and monitoring carry equal weight in this first release.

On the creation side, I need you to implement two core workflows:
• template-based designs so a marketer can pick a preset, drop in copy and images, and publish in a few clicks
• a guided, custom ad-creation wizard that walks the user through audience, budget, creative, and placement choices

For monitoring, the MVP must surface:
• real-time analytics pulled directly from the Meta Marketing API and Google Ads API
• automatic performance reports that can be emailed or downloaded on a schedule
• a custom alert system where users set thresholds and receive in-app or email notifications

Tech stack is flexible as long as it supports rapid iteration—React or Next.js on the front end, Node, Python, or similar on the back, with a relational database (PostgreSQL preferred) and secure OAuth handling for each ad network. Clean, well-commented code, dockerised deployment, and concise API documentation are part of the hand-off.

Acceptance criteria
1. A user can authenticate with both ad networks, create an ad via either workflow, and push it live.
2. The dashboard refreshes metrics in near real time (<5-minute lag).
3. Scheduled reports and alerts trigger reliably at the user-defined cadence.
4. The repo runs locally via Docker in a single command and deploys to a test cloud instance (Heroku, Fly.io, or similar).
5. README covers environment variables, build steps, and API rate-limit considerations.

If you have shipped similar ad-tech tools or have deep API experience with both platforms, let’s talk timelines and milestones.
