Pinterest is the evergreen discovery channel in the current publishing stack. It works best for save-worthy visuals, lookbooks, mood boards, tutorials, and affiliate-oriented content that benefits from longer tail discovery.
What Pinterest supports
Influgen supports:
- single-image posts
- carousel-style image posts
Pinterest scheduling requires at least one generated image asset.
Connection flow
Pinterest uses OAuth plus board management:
- Connect the Pinterest account from Settings.
- Let Influgen sync available boards.
- Choose a workspace default board.
- Optionally set board preferences per character in the web settings UI.
The default callback path returns to /settings/pinterest.
Board management
Two endpoints make Pinterest different from the other channel integrations:
GET /api/v1/integrations/pinterest/boardsPATCH /api/v1/integrations/pinterest/default-board
This lets the workspace choose where pins should go by default instead of pushing every post into the same generic board.

Rate windows
Influgen tracks Pinterest's daily rate window. The default platform rate limit is 1000 actions per day, and the scheduler itself also applies a softer publishing cap of 12 pins per day when auto-generating schedules.
Best practices
- connect board names to clear themes
- use stronger keyword-rich descriptions than you would on Instagram
- prioritize evergreen content over reactive content
- set a default board before bulk scheduling to avoid misrouting pins
