# Create Text Ad

> Creates a text-only Promoted-only post in an X Ads account and promotes it in an ad group, single or many at once

Creates a text-only Promoted-only post in an X Ads account and promotes it in an ad group, single or many at once. X ads have no status of their own, so keep the ad group or campaign paused until you are ready to spend. Enable post\_only to build the creative without promoting it.
