FAQs



Does Publer support 'Idea Pins'?

No, Idea Pins are not supported due to the API limitations of Pinterest. Only Regular Pins are supported by their API at the moment.

Why am I getting the "Pinterest Pins require a media and a board selected" error?

That error appears when a board hasn't been selected for Pinterest. This is a requirement as per their API.

Is it possible to specify the board in the CSV file while bulk scheduling Pinterest posts?

No, it isn't possible to choose the board directly from the CSV file. However, you can set a default board for your Pinterest account so the posts are automatically assigned to that board.

Can I post videos on Pinterest using Publer?

Yes! Publer does support video posts.
