# Pinterest blog to pins

One good article can carry many pins. Each pin is a different way into the same post: a different angle, image and title, all with the same destination link. Spread them out over weeks instead of posting them all at once.

## Inputs to get first

- The blog post URL. Read the page if your environment can fetch it; otherwise ask the user to paste the text.
- Photos from the post or the user's library. Pins need an image or video; text-only pins aren't possible.
- The Pinterest account and, optionally, the board ID for these pins.
- How many pins (default 6) and over how long (default 3–4 weeks).
- The user's timezone and preferred posting times.

## Find the angles

Read the post and pull 5–10 distinct angles. Each must be true to the post:

| Angle | Example for "How to start a sourdough starter" |
| --- | --- |
| The main promise | Easy Sourdough Starter for Beginners |
| A specific audience | Sourdough Starter Without a Kitchen Scale |
| A list inside the post | 5 Signs Your Sourdough Starter Is Ready |
| A problem it solves | Why Your Sourdough Starter Isn't Rising |
| A step or timeline | Day-by-Day Sourdough Starter Schedule |
| A checklist or printable | Sourdough Starter Supplies Checklist |

Skip angles the post doesn't actually cover. Never invent results, stats or quotes.

## Build each pin

- **Image:** a different photo or layout for every pin. Use the `pinterest-pin-maker` skill for 1000×1500 images with a text overlay. Don't reuse one image with a new title; Pinterest treats new images as fresh pins.
- **Title (up to 100 characters):** the angle's search phrase first. Use the `pinterest-pin-description-generator` rules.
- **Description (up to 500 characters):** the phrase in the first sentence, related phrases after, a reason to click at the end. No hashtags.
- **Link:** the blog post URL, set as `link` in `platform_options`. Every pin in the set uses the same link.

## Schedule

- Space pins out: one or two per week per post works well, and alternating angles keeps the set from looking repetitive.
- Put the strongest angle first.
- Use the user's times; if they have none, suggest evenings and weekends, when many people browse Pinterest, and say it's a starting point.

## Output

Return a table: date and time, title, description, image note, link, board. Then the rendered images or design notes. On approval, upload each image with `create_upload_url` and call `create_post` once per pin with `publish_at`, the image as `media`, and `title`, `link` and optional `boardId` in `platform_options` (see the `postonce` skill). Confirm the account, board and schedule before the first `create_post`. Report each post ID and scheduled time, and check one with `get_post`.
