How it works

Spreadsheet to scheduled in five plain steps

A straight-through walkthrough of how Pin Publisher takes a folder of images or a spreadsheet of pin ideas and turns it into weeks of steady, automatic Pinterest publishing.

Link your Pinterest account

One tap through OAuth — no passwords ever stored.

Create a Pin Publisher account with email or Google, then tap Connect Pinterest. You'll land on Pinterest's official authorization screen; approve it and your boards sync over in roughly five to ten seconds.

Needs a Pinterest Business account (the switch from personal is free)
Add as many accounts as you manage — clients, brands, side projects
Revoke access whenever you like from Settings or Pinterest itself
Tokens stay encrypted at rest and refresh themselves in the background

Bring your pins in

Spreadsheets, CSVs, or images dragged from your desktop.

Hand over a spreadsheet of image URLs, titles, descriptions, links, and board names — Pin Publisher turns it into a Drafts queue. Or drop image files directly and fill in metadata inline. Every draft can be reviewed before joining a bucket.

Sort everything into buckets

Cluster pins by topic, niche, or campaign.

Buckets are how Pin Publisher keeps a growing queue legible. Each one holds related pins, points at one or more boards, and follows its own cadence and recycle rules. A typical blogger might have Recipes, Travel, and Lifestyle buckets — each pinning at its own pace.

Sketch out the weekly rhythm

Choose the days, the times, and how many pins per slot.

Open a bucket's schedule editor and tap any cell in the week grid to add a slot. Decide how many pins should fire there. Pin Publisher rolls out the next weeks of slots automatically and refills them as you add more pins.

Let Pin Publisher do the publishing

A background worker fires due pins every minute.

Each minute Pin Publisher scans for slots whose time has arrived, lifts the next pin from the bucket, and ships it to the chosen board through Pinterest's official API. If anything goes wrong, you'll know right away — with a one-tap retry waiting.

What hands-off scheduling actually looks like

Once your buckets are stocked and your plans are saved, Pin Publisher keeps running without you. Here's what a typical week tends to feel like.

Sunday

Drop in 20–30 fresh pins from a spreadsheet and sort them into the right buckets.

Mon–Sat

Pin Publisher does the posting. You peek at the calendar maybe twice all week.

Always

If something fails, an in-app alert appears with a one-tap retry.
