If Pinterest features stop working #

  1. Check the Pinterest dashboard for the current connection status.
  2. If disconnected, reconnect using Connect with Pinterest.
  3. Confirm your user still has Pinterest module access granted by CompanyAdmin.
  4. Open Social Media → Posts (a read-only check) before retrying publishing.

What happens if this fails? #

  • If Pinterest stops accepting the connection (for example, you removed Application’s access in Pinterest’s settings), the connection shows Needs attention in the Connections menu and publishing fails until you reconnect.
  • If publishing fails, the pin is not published and should be reviewed before retrying.
