Getting started

Link and auto-post to Pinterest

Link Pinterest to a workspace and schedule pins that publish automatically, including board, title, and destination link requirements.

Updated

On this page

Pinterest auto-posts from both the web app and the mobile app.

  1. Select the Pinterest bubble in the channel icons at the top of the app, or find it in the workspace's Channels column under Manage workspaces.
  2. Choose Link Account.
  3. Sign in to Pinterest and grant Planoly access. Planoly redirects you to Pinterest and back, so the page you were on reloads when you return.

The Pinterest icon appears with your account in the top bar once it is linked.

Schedule a pin

  1. Select Create Post, then add Pinterest to the post.
  2. Upload one image or video. A pin takes a single file.
  3. Choose a Board. This is the only required Pinterest field.
  4. Write your pin description, up to 800 characters.
  5. Add a Pin title and a Destination link if you want them. Both are optional.
  6. Under Posting method, choose Auto-post.
  7. Pick a date and time, then schedule the post.
Board opens from the folder icon in the caption toolbar, and the link icon beside it holds the destination link. A blue dot on either icon means that field is filled in.
Title sits above the description and counts to 100. The pin takes one photo, and Posting method is set to Auto-post.
