Schedule a Pin
1
Pick your Pinterest account
Click New Post and pick your Pinterest account under Accounts. If you picked other accounts too, click the Pinterest avatar above the text box.
2
Add the title
Type it in Title, above the text box.
3
Write the description
The text box becomes the Pin’s description.
4
Add media
Add one image, a few images, or one video. Pinterest won’t take a text-only post.
5
Pick a board
Under Boards, open Select Board and choose where the Pin goes.
6
Add a link
Further down, type the web address people should visit in Link. This step is optional.
7
Schedule it
Pick a time, or add it to your queue.
The Pinterest fields
If you save without a board, you’ll see “You must select a Pinterest Board for this post first.”
The link must be a full web address, like
https://example.com/page.
If you leave Title empty, PublishBuddy uses your text as the Pin’s title instead, and the Pin has no description. Fill in Title to get both.
How long the title and description can be
PublishBuddy sends Pinterest the first 100 characters of the title and the first 500 of the description. Anything after that is cut off when the Pin goes out, with no warning. Emoji and accented letters count as more than one character here. Keep both a little under the limit to be safe.Images and video
- One image makes a standard Pin.
- Several images make one Pin with multiple images. You can add up to 5. More than that stops with “Media contents count validation failed.”
- One video makes a video Pin. Pinterest uses the first frame as the cover.
