Connect X Ads
Connect your X (Twitter) Ads account so Revnu can build image ads for your approval. Which X login to use, why Revnu can't see an account until billing is active, and the X Pixel you create once.
You connect X Ads from Connections. Sign in with your company's X account, not a personal one, and make sure the X Ads account has an active payment method. X hides an ad account from apps until its billing works.
Connecting alone never launches an ad or spends money.
How do I connect X Ads?
Open Connections
In the dashboard, open Connections and find the Advertise group.
Press Connect on X Ads
Press Connect on the X Ads row.
Sign in with your company's X account
Sign in with your organisation's X handle and authorize Revnu.
Open Ads
Open Ads. Revnu checks for an ad account and an active payment method. This check is read-only. When it passes, Ads shows Create Your First Campaign.
Choose the ad account
If Revnu finds several X Ads accounts, Ads says Choose the X Ads Account to Use. Press Choose an Account, then press Choose Account on the X Ads row in Connections and pick one.
Note
Once you approve a launch, X bills the payment method on your X Ads account. Your Monthly Ads Budget caps what Revnu spends across every channel.
Which X account should I sign in with?
Your company's X account, the one your ads should come from. If you sign in with a personal account, Ads shows Wrong X Account and a Switch X Account button. Press it, then sign in with the organisation handle.
What you'll see once it's connected
The Connections row says Using and the account name.
Ads moves from setup to Create Your First Campaign.
Campaigns start paused. Launching and the budget wait for your approval.
Each X image ad shows a headline on the image, written for your buyers. If an ad has none, X shows your landing page's domain instead.
Revnu won't launch an X campaign until an outcome is set up in Ads > Revnu Tag. See set up outcomes.
The X Pixel
X only lets you create a Pixel by hand. If your X Ads account has none, the X row under Manage Ad Channels in Ads > Revnu Tag asks you to create one in X's Events Manager. Revnu does everything after that: it finds the Pixel and sends your confirmed results to it.
If it doesn't work
| What you see on Ads | What to do |
|---|---|
| Finish Setting Up X Ads | Revnu can't see a campaign-ready account for this login yet, because X hides accounts until billing works. Press Continue Setup on X, create the account if X asks, or finish Billing. Check country, time zone and currency carefully: X doesn't let you change them later |
| Add a Payment Method on X | Revnu found the account, but X says it can't fund a campaign. Press Open X Ads Billing, add or activate a card, then press Check Again. Adding a card doesn't start a campaign |
| We Couldn't Verify the Payment Method | Check billing in X Ads Manager, then press Check Again |
| We Couldn't Verify X Billing | The setup check didn't finish. Your connection is still saved. Press Check Again |
| Reconnect X Ads | X stopped accepting the saved connection. Press Reconnect X Ads |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't Revnu find my X Ads account?
X hides an ads account from apps until its payment method is active. Finish billing in X Ads, then check again from the Ads page.
Should I connect my personal X account or my company's?
Your company's. If you connect a personal account, the Ads page says Wrong X Account and lets you switch.
Do I need an X Pixel?
Yes. You create it in X's Events Manager, and once it exists Revnu sends your results to it.
How many ads does Revnu put in one X campaign?
Up to five. That's Revnu's own rule, so each ad gets enough of the budget to be judged. More images go in another campaign.
Can Revnu add a new ad to an X campaign that's already live?
Yes, in a new paused campaign alongside it. Revnu adds ads to paused campaigns, so for a live one it builds the new ad in a separate paused campaign, and launching that waits for your approval.
Who pays for X ads?
You do. X bills the payment method on your ads account. See ad budgets and who pays.
Is there a minimum budget for X ads?
Revnu's minimum is a Monthly Ads Budget of 50 in your account's currency, with no separate X floor on top. Every channel's floor is in ad budgets.
