đź”– Chrome Extension

The GetHookd Chrome Extension lets you save ads directly from the Meta Ad Library into your Swipe File or a specific Board inside GetHookd — without leaving your browser.


Before you start

  • Browser: Google Chrome only.
  • Access: Requires a GetHookd account and active login.
  • Where it works: Meta Ad Library pages (e.g., facebook.com/ads/library).
  • Estimated setup: 1–2 minutes.


Step-by-step


1. Install the extension

  1. Visit the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click Add to Chrome → Add extension.
  3. Pin the extension to your Chrome toolbar for easy access.


2. Log in

  1. Click the GetHookd icon in your browser toolbar.
  2. If you’re not logged in, click Login and sign in with your GetHookd credentials.
  3. Once logged in, you’ll see the extension’s checklist and Default Board dropdown.



3. Save ads from the Meta Ad Library

When browsing any Meta Ad Library page:


Option 1: Save to Swipe File or Explore

  • Click Save to GetHookd on any ad card.
  • The ad will appear in both your Swipe File and Explore tab inside the app.


Option 2: Save to a specific Board

  • Use the Select Board dropdown above the ad.
  • Choose the desired board → click Save to GetHookd.
  • The ad will be added to that board and synced to your Swipe File.


Option 3: Use a Default Board

  • Click the extension icon → choose a Default Board.
  • Every ad on the current Meta Ad Library page will save to that board automatically.



Success check


You see the confirmation “Saved to GetHookd.”
  • The ad appears in your Swipe File and under the selected Board in-app.
  • If you’ve set a Default Board, future saves apply automatically to that board.
