Schedule Pinterest pins from Notion

Write each pin as a row in your Notion calendar, set the time, and switch Status to Scheduled. Creatorzel posts it to Pinterest and writes the pin link back into the row.

What goes in each row

Every pin uses the same calendar columns. This is what Creatorzel reads from each one.

Title

Up to 100 characters, which is the Pinterest limit. Leave it empty and the name of the row becomes the title.

Pin description

Write it as the text of the row page, up to 500 characters. If the page body is empty, the Content text is used.

Board

Type the board name as it appears on Pinterest. Capitals do not matter. Leave it empty and Creatorzel uses your first board, so it is worth filling in.

Media

One image, two to five images (posted as a carousel) or one MP4 video. Upload them to the row or paste links. Extra files beyond that are skipped.

Link

Where the pin takes people when they click it. It has to start with https://.

Scheduled At

The date and time you want the pin posted. Creatorzel posts it on its first check after that moment.

If a pin cannot go out, the row tells you why

Before anything is sent, Creatorzel checks the row. A title over 100 characters, a missing image or a link that does not start with https:// is caught first, and nothing is posted. The row turns Failed and the Error column says what to change. Fix it, set Status back to Scheduled, and Creatorzel tries again on its next check.

Error

The Pinterest title is 114 characters; the limit is 100. Set a shorter Title. This is the kind of note Creatorzel writes into the Error column.

Never twice

A pin that has already gone out is not posted twice, unless you duplicate the row.

Three steps to your first pin

1
Connect Notion and Pinterest

Sign in, choose the Notion page Creatorzel may use, and log in on Pinterest's own screen. Creatorzel builds the calendar for you, so there is nothing to duplicate and no columns to set up.

2
Write a row for each pin

Add a title, a board, an image or video, and a link. Write the description in the page of the row, the way you would write any Notion page.

3
Set the time, then Status to Scheduled

Creatorzel checks the calendar about every five minutes and posts what is due. The row switches to Published and keeps the pin link.

Status, results and options

Creatorzel writes the outcome back to the row. A few optional columns give you more control.

Status

Draft, Scheduled, Published or Failed. You choose Draft or Scheduled. Creatorzel sets the other two.

Published URL and Error

When a pin goes live, its link is written to Published URL. If something goes wrong, the Error column says what, in plain words.

Impressions, Saves and clicks

Creatorzel fills in Impressions, Saves, Pin Clicks and Link Clicks once Pinterest has reported on the pin, usually a day or two after it goes live. They refresh about once a day for 30 days. The numbers come from Pinterest, so a quiet account may show small ones.

Account

Connected more than one Pinterest account? Type the account name here to choose which one posts. Empty means your primary account. See the plans for how many accounts each one includes.

Section

Optional. Type the name of a section inside the board to post into it. Leave it empty to post to the board itself.

Alt Text

Optional. A short description of the image for people who cannot see it, up to 500 characters.

Who it is for

People who already plan content in Notion and want the posting handled.

Pinterest managers and VAs

You already plan client pins on a calendar. Keep it in Notion, name the account on each row, and stop pasting pins into Pinterest one at a time.

Bloggers who get traffic from Pinterest

Plan the pins for a post right next to the post. Set the times once and let them go out while you write the next one.

People who already live in Notion

Your ideas, your editorial plan and your pin schedule sit in one workspace. The calendar comes with a calendar view, and you can filter it like any other database.

Questions people ask

Can you schedule Pinterest pins from Notion?

Yes, with Creatorzel. Notion can hold your pin plan but does not post to Pinterest on its own. Creatorzel adds a content calendar to your Notion workspace, picks up the rows that are due, and posts them to your Pinterest account.

Do I have to give Creatorzel my Pinterest password?

No. You log in on Pinterest's own screen and approve access there, so Creatorzel never sees your password. You can disconnect the account inside Creatorzel whenever you like.

How exact is the posting time?

Creatorzel checks your calendar about every five minutes. A pin goes out on the first check after the time you set, so expect it within roughly five minutes of that time.

What happens if a pin fails to post?

The Status of the row changes to Failed and the Error column explains the reason in plain words, for example a title that is too long. Fix it, set Status back to Scheduled, and Creatorzel tries again.

Will a pin ever be posted twice?

Not from the same row. Once a row has been posted it is not posted again unless you duplicate it. If an attempt is interrupted and Creatorzel cannot tell whether the pin went out, it marks the row Failed and asks you to check Pinterest first.

Can I edit a pin from Notion after it has been posted?

No. Creatorzel posts a pin once, and changing the row in Notion afterwards does not change the pin on Pinterest. Pinterest keeps pin editing for apps through a separate approval, so for now you edit a posted pin on Pinterest itself.

Which images and videos can I use?

Use JPG or PNG for images and MP4 for video. A row can hold one image, two to five images (posted as one carousel pin) or one video. If a row holds more than that, the extra files are skipped and the Published row says so. Pinterest recommends a 2:3 ratio for images, such as 1000 by 1500 pixels.

How does this compare with the Pinterest scheduler?

Pinterest's own scheduler lets you queue up to 10 pins, one at a time, up to 30 days ahead (Pinterest help page). A Notion calendar can hold your whole month.

Is Creatorzel free?

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, so you can try Creatorzel before you pay. After that it is a paid subscription. You can compare the plans on the pricing page.

Does Creatorzel work with platforms other than Pinterest?

Pinterest is the only platform today. WordPress is next, and the WordPress page says where that stands.
