Schedule posts to Pinterest: limits, media rules and setup
Pinterest is a social network. Publaro publishes there directly, with 800 characters per post and the platform's own media rules checked for you.
Publaro publishes to Pinterest directly
Posts go to Pinterest through its official API, at the time you schedule them. If Pinterest does not answer after a post was sent, Publaro marks it "check needed" instead of sending it again, so a post never goes out twice.
