To successfully connect your Pinterest account to Kontentino (note that Kontentino connects to Pinterest Boards, not entire profiles), ensure that:
✔ Your Pinterest account is set up as a Business Account.
✔ You have the Manager role on the Pinterest Business Account.
✔ You have at least one public board created.
What is the Difference Between a Pin and a Board?
A Pin is an individual post on Pinterest, while a Board is a collection that organizes Pins. When connecting Pinterest to Kontentino, you select Boards, not individual Pins or entire profiles.
🔹 Step 1: Check if Your Pinterest Account Is a Business Account
Go to Pinterest.com and log in.
Click your profile picture in the top-left corner or tree dots (...) in the top-right corner.
Go to Settings → Account Management.
Look under Account information:
❌ If you see an option to "Convert to a Business Account", it means your account is still Personal - switch to Business to proceed.
✅ If you don’t see this option, your account is already Business.
✔ Solution: If your account is Personal, switch to Business for full API access.
🔹 Step 2: Check Your Role on the Pinterest Business Account
Go to Settings → Permissions (or Business Access).
Check your role under Team Members.
Make sure you have the Manager role (this role allows you to connect Pinterest to third-party apps).
✔ If you don’t have the Manager role, ask the account owner to update your access.
🔹 Step 3: Ensure You Have a Public Board
Go to your Pinterest profile.
Under Boards, check if you have at least one public board (it should not be secret).
If needed, create a new board and set it to Public. Kontentino connects to individual Boards, so ensure the Board you create or check is public and visible for selection during the connection process.
✔ Solution: Pinterest requires at least one public board for a successful connection.
🔹 Step 4: Try Connecting Again
Enable pop-ups in your browser (Pinterest authorization may require them).
Clear cache & cookies to prevent login issues.
Log out and log back in to Pinterest.
