Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select which Pinterest board to post to from Claude Code?
Include the "pinterest_board" parameter in your API call with the board name or board ID. Upload-Post will publish the Pin to that specific board. If you omit the parameter, the Pin is created on your default board. You can retrieve a list of available boards through the Upload-Post dashboard.
Can I add a destination link to Pins created with Claude Code?
Yes. Use the "link" parameter in your API call to set the destination URL for the Pin. When users click through your Pin, they will be directed to that URL. This is essential for driving traffic to your website, product pages, or blog posts from Pinterest.
Does the skill support video Pins on Pinterest?
Yes. Upload-Post supports video Pins on Pinterest. Upload MP4 videos between 4 seconds and 15 minutes long. The API handles format validation and provides clear error messages if your video does not meet Pinterest's requirements. Video Pins auto-play in the feed, which typically generates higher engagement.
Can I add alt text to Pins for accessibility?
Yes. Pinterest supports alt text on Pins for screen readers and accessibility. Include the alt text field in your API call to provide a description of the image for visually impaired users. This also helps Pinterest better understand and categorize your Pin for search.
Can I schedule Pins for later publishing?
Yes. Upload-Post supports scheduled publishing for Pinterest and all other platforms. Include a "scheduled_time" parameter with an ISO 8601 datetime string, and your Pin will be automatically published at that time. This is available on paid plans starting at $12/month.
