What bundle.social handles
Pinterest Pins without a separate visual campaign machine
Pins need boards, destination links, descriptions, visual assets, and evergreen timing. bundle.social keeps Pinterest inside the same campaign workflow instead of a disconnected visual queue.
Workflow
How it works
Connect accounts once, then create and schedule posts with channel-specific fields from one API.
Create an API key
Generate an organization API key in the dashboard and use it with the x-api-key header.
Connect accounts
Connect each social account once. bundle.social keeps the account mapping ready for future posts.
Create or schedule posts
Send one request with the publish date, selected channels, and the fields each platform needs.
Capabilities
Pinterest API workflows for evergreen visual campaigns
Board-aware Pin payloads, destination links, alt text, media references, scheduling, and status tracking for long-tail content.
Board-specific Pin payloads
Create Pinterest Pins with board IDs, destination links, descriptions, alt text, and media references through the same post endpoint.
API key authentication
Use one bundle.social API key for server-to-server requests while users connect Pinterest accounts through the hosted OAuth flow.
Evergreen campaign scheduling
Schedule visual campaigns around launches, seasons, and catalog drops without building a separate Pinterest queue.
Post status and retry tracking
Track Pinterest Pins through scheduled, processing, posted, retrying, and error states from the API or dashboard.
Platform specifics
Pinterest API specifics for evergreen visual campaigns
Pinterest works best when products treat Pins as searchable visual assets, not just another short-lived social post.
Boards shape distribution
Every Pin needs the right board context. Model board selection clearly so ecommerce, creator, and campaign teams can keep content organized.
Destination links matter
Pins drive evergreen traffic through destination links, so validate URLs and product landing pages before scheduling visual campaigns.
Alt text helps accessibility and discovery
Use altText and clear descriptions so Pins are easier to understand, index, and reuse across long-running visual search journeys.
Developer example
Schedule a Pinterest post
Examples use bundle.social's public API shape: API key authentication, a post date, selected social account types, and platform-specific data.

Honest limitations
- Pinterest board access and account permissions still control where Pins can publish.
- Pinterest media and link rules must be respected by the content payload.
- Some shopping or ads features are outside a standard posting workflow.
