What you need

  • Self-hosted n8n with the n8n-nodes-bundlesocial node
  • A Google Drive credential in n8n
  • A Pinterest account connected to a bundle.social team
  • The name of the Pinterest board to pin to
  • Works on the Free plan (20 posts a month)

How the workflow works

Each step is a node in the workflow, under the same name.

  1. 01

    New file in Drive folder

    The Google Drive Trigger checks the folder you pick every minute and passes on each file created since the last check.
  2. 02

    Only images

    An IF node keeps files whose MIME type starts with image/ and drops everything else, so a stray PDF never reaches Pinterest.
  3. 03

    Download file

    Google Drive downloads the file into the binary field data.
  4. 04

    Upload to bundle.social

    Upload File sends the image to bundle.social and returns an upload id.
  5. 05

    Create post

    The bundle.social node creates a Pin on the board you name, with the file name as the Pin title (cut to 100 characters) and as the description.

Set it up

Credentials and troubleshooting are on the n8n integration page.

  1. On self-hosted n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes, install n8n-nodes-bundlesocial, and accept the notice.
  2. Download the workflow file and import it with Workflows > Import from File.
  3. Add a bundle.social API credential with a key from bundle.social > Organization > API Keys.
  4. Add a Google Drive credential and pick the folder to watch in New file in Drive folder.
  5. In Create post, pick the team that has the Pinterest account connected.
  6. Replace REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_BOARD_NAME in Pinterest Settings > Board Name with one of your boards.
  7. Activate the workflow, then drop a file into the folder to test it.
