Answer: Use the Postifys n8n node → Pinterest → connected board → reachable image URL. Video Pins are not claimed as a supported Postifys path today - use image Pins unless product docs say otherwise.
Who this is for
Automation builders who want n8n to create Pins on approved Pinterest boards without managing Pinterest OAuth in every workflow.
Prerequisites
- Postifys account + API key.
- Pinterest account connected in Postifys with write access approved for your app/product.
- At least one board visible in the Postifys connection dropdown.
- A publicly reachable image URL (or Drive/Dropbox URL with
proxyDownload).
Limitation: Postifys currently documents image Pin publishing. Do not advertise automated video Pin publishing until it is explicitly supported in product docs.
n8n steps
- Install the Postifys community node and authenticate with your API key.
- Add a Postifys → Pinterest action.
- Select the board id from the connection list.
- Set title/description and the image media URL.
- Enable
proxyDownloadfor Google Drive / Dropbox links. - Run once, then confirm the Pin in Pinterest and in Postifys history.

Common failures
- Write access not approved → reconnect after Pinterest product approval.
- Private media URL → make the file public or use proxyDownload.
- Wrong board → refresh connections and reselect.
