    Later offers Pinterest scheduling to help keep your visual content beautiful, consistent, and hands-free. Once you’ve connected your Pinterest account, you can begin scheduling, measuring, and optimizing your Pins with Later.  

    How Does Pinterest Scheduling Work?

    • You can add 1 media item per pin using Later 
    • Pins that you schedule with Later will automatically post to your Pinterest account
    • A Pinterest board must be selected in order for you to schedule a Pin
    • You can schedule images to any Pinterest account
    • Pinterest video scheduling is available on paid plans for Pinterest business accounts
    • The number of Pinterest posts you can schedule monthly is dependant on your plan

    Step 1: Connect Your Pinterest Account

    Important: If you have multiple Access Groups in your Later account, make sure that you’re in the right Group before connecting your Pinterest account.

    1. From Later on the Web, click the + symbol at the top of your calendar
    2. Select an empty Pinterest slot and click Add Social Profile.
    3. Log in to Pinterest to add your Pinterest profile.

    Step 2: Schedule A Week of Pins

    1. From the Calendar, select your Pinterest profile.
    2. Drag and drop an image from your Media Library onto Calendar.
    3. Change the scheduled time, if needed.
    4. Select the board that you want to post your Pin to. You can search your boards by name or simply scroll through the list.
    5. Edit your photo, enter a Pin title and description, and add a website link.
    6. Click Enable Click Tracking if you want to track the clicks on your website link (Growth and Advanced plans only).
    7. Hit Save to schedule your Pin.

    Important: Later can only connect to public Pinterest boards, not secret boards. Make sure that the board you want to post to is set to public.
     
    Important: Pinterest does not support redirects or URL shorteners like bit.ly.

    Note: If you enable click tracking, your link will be shortened and tracked when the Pin is published. Don’t worry — links shortened by Later are allowed by Pinterest because we’re a Pinterest Marketing Partner. 

    Tip: Use a clear, relevant title to name your Pin, and write a Pin description that relates to the title and Pin image. Don't add URLs to your Pin description. Instead, add a URL to the Website field.

    After you've published a Pin, you can check your Pinterest Analytics to see how your Pin is performing!
