# Create ad group

> Create a Google Ads ad group inside an existing campaign.

Use `googleAds.createAdGroup` to create a Google Ads ad group inside an existing campaign.

## Example

```ts theme={null}
import { automation, onDashboardRun } from "automate.ax"
import { googleAds } from "automate.ax/google-ads"

export default automation("Create ad group", () => {
  onDashboardRun({ title: "Create ad group" })

  googleAds.createAdGroup({
    customerId: "1234567890",
    campaign: "customers/1234567890/campaigns/111",
    name: "Brand search",
    status: "PAUSED",
  })
})
```

## Inputs

Set `customerId`, a campaign resource name, and `name`. Optional fields set status, type, CPC bid micros, and target CPA micros. All customer-scoped actions accept optional `loginCustomerId` for manager-account access and a named Google account binding.

## Output

Returns the created ad-group resource name. Creation is not replay-safe.
