Create and Schedule a Pinterest Post

Publishing to Pinterest will be a little different than publishing to other networks. With Pinterest, you can publish to multiple boards while also uploading custom images for your Pins.

Publish on Pinterest Boards

  1. Create a new social message (either directly on your calendar or in a Social Campaign).
  2. Choose your Pinterest account.
  3. Select your Pinterest board(s).

Add a Link

CoSchedule does not have a special field for destination links. You'll want to paste your URL directly in the text of the social message. The URL will be removed from the text field when the message is published. The link image or custom image will be clickable and lead to the URL that was added to the social message in CoSchedule. To add a link:
  1. Open your new social message.
  2. Insert your text accompanied by the URL to which you'd like to link.
  3. After the URL is added, a preview of your link will be displayed.
   

Upload Custom Image

By default, CoSchedule will publish the image found in your link. To upload a custom image:
  1. Click the X to remove the link preview and link image.
  2. Click the Image Camera icon and upload your new image.
  3. Once the new image is uploaded, the custom image will be displayed in the preview.
  4. Continue customizing your Pin, then click Save to schedule your Pin.

Upload a Video

To add a video:
  1. Click the video camera icon.
  2. Choose to upload a file from your computer, select from previously uploaded images, or choose media from your Assets folder.
  3. Choose your desired video.
  4. The video will process – you can save the message while this is happening.
  5. Click Save.
To select video thumbnail: Under the Pinterest Publishing section of the social composer screen, you'll see the option to select a thumbnail from your video or upload an image.

Add a Title

Under the Pinterest Publishing section of the social composer screen, you'll see a Title field. Use this field to enter a title for your pin. If you're scheduling a link-type post and keep this field empty, we'll scrape the URL for a title.

Choose Section

Under the Pinterest Publishing section of the social composer screen, you'll see the option to Choose Section if you've selected a single board that has sections. If you've selected more than one board, this option will disappear as we don't have a way to manage sections with multiple boards at this time. As a workaround, you'll want to create individual social messages for each board to have the option to choose a board section. Please note that it can take up to a day before newly created sections within a board show up as an option in CoSchedule.
