Select Pinterest as the Social Media you want to post on.

Pinterest requires 1 image or 1 video to create a pin. To add your media click on either the picture frame or video camera. Once clicked you can generate it using AI or add it from your media library.

For pins, you can add a title, as long as it's under 100 characters, or add links to your post. You will be prompted to select the Pinterest board.

If you do not have any boards, you can create one using the "Add Board" option in the board selection dropdown. If you want to post it to a public board make sure it doesn't have the lock icon.

To start click on the "New Post" button and select the "Upload from CSV" option to direct you to the upload page.

Please keep in mind that your CSV should be properly formatted, you can click “Download a sample file” to get a template of how to format your file.

  • The Text column will support captions and hashtags.
  • In the link column, it is an OG meta tag, and it accepts one link.
  • The image and video column will accept multiple image(s) and video(s) comma-separated. For GIF, it will support one GIF only.

Then click Next to select the socials to select the pages you want to post to. As well as selecting the Approver if needed.

After the posts are imported by clicking on Process CSV, they need to be reviewed by the chosen approver. Once approved, they are scheduled on the social calendar. If no approver is selected they will be scheduled directly.

That's all there is to it. Now you are ready to use your Social Planner to post the best Pins ever! Enjoy using this awesome tool to boost your Pinterest page to another level.
