Connect and use X Ads

Connect X Ads to Nerve, confirm the correct account or property, and start with a scoped read-only request before broader analysis.

Connect X Ads to inspect advertising accounts, campaigns, line items, and available performance data. Line items are the ad-group-like level beneath a campaign.

Before you connect

Use an X identity with access to the advertising account. Have the account name, reporting dates, and objective ready.

Connect and verify

1. In the intended workspace, open Get started > Connect accounts.
2. Find X Ads and choose Connect.
3. Complete the provider sign-in and review the permissions shown. Select an identity with access to the intended advertising account.
4. Back in Nerve, check the connection status and use Verify if available.
5. Ask your assistant to list accessible X advertising accounts before requesting a report.

What to ask Nerve

Live discovery returned account and campaign lookup, line items, insights, funding instruments, targeting criteria, and promoted-content information. Begin with an account and campaign inventory, then ask for a supported insight breakdown.

For X Ads account Example Brand, list campaigns and line items.
Summarize available spend, impressions, clicks, and objective results
for the last 7 complete days. Identify account currency and any
missing pages of results. Do not change delivery or targeting.

Check scope and limits

A campaign and a line item are separate levels, so ask the assistant to label both. Large lists may require additional pages; ask whether all results were retrieved. Funding-instrument inspection does not authorize a billing change. Check current tools before requesting creation, budget updates, or other writes.

If the expected account is missing, use connection troubleshooting. For expired access, see Check or reconnect an account.
