How to Customize Posts for Pinterest?

SocialPilot makes it easy to create and schedule Pinterest posts, ensuring that marketers can manage multiple accounts efficiently. Follow these steps to customize and publish Pinterest-specific content.

  1. Go to Create Post and switch to the Pinterest tab within the post composer.

  1. Add up to 5 images or a video (up to 15 minutes) from your local device or from Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box. Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP for images, and MP4 or MOV for videos. You can also design and upload content from Canva.

  1. You can also use the Unsplash integration to add stock images or videos. Simply search, select, and add to your post.

  1. Adjust images or videos to fit Pinterest's aspect ratio. You can also add alt text for accessibility.

📋 Note: If you upload multiple images and don't select a specific one, the first in the queue will be published.

  1. Enter the URL for your Pin. Pinterest flags shortened URLs as spam, so use the full link. UTM parameters will be added automatically.
  2. Add a title (up to 100 characters) to your Pin.
  3. Enter a description (up to 500 characters) and customize the post further by adding emojis, Custom Fields, and UTM parameters.
  4. Choose the Pinterest accounts where you want to publish the Pin. Set the date and time for scheduling the post.

📋 Note: For carousel pins, you can enter a unique destination link, title, and description for each image or apply the same for all images by selecting 'Use the same text and URL for each image.'

So, creating and publishing Pinterest-specific posts is now quick, and you don't need to worry about manually customizing each and every element as it is all taken care of by SocialPilot in a single dashboard.  

📋 Note:

  • If you have recently changed your Pinterest username from the native platform it is recommended that you go to SocialPilot and refresh your connection.

  • Manage Accounts -> Edit Pinterest board -> Reconnect

    Reconnecting one of the boards from the Pinterest account will refresh the connection for the rest of the boards from that account. This will help SocialPilot maintain appropriate access to your Pinterest account and not hamper the scheduling and publishing flow.
