Pinterest

#What you can post

• Description up to 500 characters.
• Every Pin needs media: up to 5 images, or 1 video with exactly one image as its cover.
• No threads or comments.
• Per-post settings:
  • Board: required. The list comes from your Pinterest account.
  • Title: up to 100 characters. If empty, Postline uses the first line of the text.
  • Destination link.

#Connect your account

1. In the sidebar, click + Add next to Channels. Only workspace owners and admins can add channels.
2. Choose Pinterest.
3. Click Continue to Pinterest, sign in and allow access.

#For self-hosters

1. Create a Pinterest developer app.
2. Register this redirect URL: {APP_URL}/api/channels/oauth/pinterest/callback
3. Set PINTEREST_CLIENT_ID and PINTEREST_CLIENT_SECRET.
4. Apply for Standard access. It's needed for public Pins.

Pinterest downloads images from their public URL, so APP_URL/uploads/... (or your S3 public URL) must be reachable from the internet.

#Analytics and plugs

Postline collects impressions, saves and clicks (Pin clicks plus outbound clicks) per Pin, over the last 90 days. It also tracks your follower count.

Plugs (auto-repost and follow-up) aren't available for Pinterest.

#Known issues

• Public Pins need Standard access on the server's Pinterest app.
• A Pin can have one video, and a video Pin needs exactly one image as its cover.
• You must choose a board. Otherwise you see "Choose a Pinterest board."
• If Pinterest can't process a video, the post fails with "Pinterest could not process the video."
