After connecting a Pinterest business account, you can upload an image or video, add the pin title and description, include a destination link, and choose the Pinterest board or boards where the pin should be published. Each pin requires one image or one video, and at least one Pinterest board must be selected before the pin can be posted, scheduled, saved, or sent for approval. You can also create multiple Pinterest pins at once by selecting up to 25 boards for the same post. Each selected board creates its own published pin, allowing you to share the same content across multiple Pinterest destinations without recreating the post manually. --- ## **Key Benefits of Adding Pinterest Pins in Social Planner** - **Multi-Board Publishing:** Publish the same Pinterest pin to multiple selected boards from one post composer workflow. - **Centralized Scheduling:** Create, schedule, save, or publish Pinterest pins directly from Social Planner. - **Board Flexibility:** Select existing Pinterest boards or create a new board while creating the pin. - **Post Preview:** Review how the Pinterest pin will appear before publishing or scheduling. - **Media Support:** Publish image or video pins as long as the uploaded media meets Pinterest requirements. --- ## **Pinterest Media Requirements** Pinterest pins require either **one image** or **one video**. - **For Image:** It needs to be 10MB or less than 10 MB, it supports PNG and JPG. - **For Video:** It needs to be 1 GB or less than 1GB, it supports MOV,MP4 and WEBP and it requires minimum 4 secs or maximum 5 mins video size.

Multi-board publishing allows you to publish a single Pinterest pin to up to 25 boards per Pinterest account from one Social Planner composer. Each selected board creates its own published pin automatically, so you do not need to duplicate the same post manually for each board. **Q: Does each selected board create a separate pin?** Yes. Each selected board creates a separate published pin. This helps keep tracking and analytics separated by board. **Q: What happens if publishing fails for one selected board?** A failure on one board does not block the other selected boards from publishing. Each board is handled independently. **Q: Why do I need to select a Pinterest board?** Pinterest requires pins to be saved to a board. The selected board determines where the pin appears on Pinterest. **Q: Can I create a new Pinterest board while creating a pin?** Yes. Use the New board or Add board option in the board dropdown to create a board during post creation. **Q: Why is my Pinterest board not appearing?** Confirm that the correct Pinterest business account is connected, that you have admin access, and that the board exists in the connected Pinterest account. If the account was recently updated, reconnecting or refreshing the social account may help. **Q: What happens if my media does not meet Pinterest requirements?** The pin may fail to publish or may need to be adjusted before it can be scheduled. Check the file type, file size, duration, and aspect ratio before posting. --- ## **Related Articles** - [How to post Recurring Social Posts through the Social Planner](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/social-planner/social-planner-recurring-social-posts) - [@Mention or Tag Profile in Posts from Social Planner](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/social-planner/mention-or-tag-profile-in-posts-from-social-planner) - [Social Planner - Advanced CSV for Bulk Scheduling](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/social-planner/social-planner-advanced-csv-for-bulk-scheduling) - [Manage Comments in Social Planner](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/social-planner/manage-comments-in-social-planner)[](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/social-planner/social-planner-recurring-social-posts) --- Documentation for GHL Customer Care.
