📌Adding a Title to Your Pin (Optional)
When creating a Pinterest post in SocialBu, simply enter your desired title in the "Title" field under options.
📂 Choosing the Right Board for Your Pin
Selecting the most relevant board is key to organizing your content and reaching the right audience. When creating a Pinterest post in SocialBu, you’ll see an option "Board" from your connected Pinterest account.
⚠️ Note: You must select a board when creating a Pinterest post. Without selecting a board, the post cannot be published and will show an error.
ℹ️ Note: If all your Pinterest boards are not showing, try reconnecting your account to refresh the connection.
🔗Attaching a Destination Link to Your Pin (Optional)
Adding a destination link to your Pinterest post helps drive traffic directly to your website, product page, blog, or any other resource. When creating a pin in SocialBu, simply paste the desired URL into the "Link" field.
The “Note to Self” feature on Pinterest allows you to add private notes to pins you've saved. These notes are visible only to you and are perfect for keeping track of ideas, reminders, or plans related to the pin.
Whether it’s a to-do, a shopping reminder, or a quick thought, this feature helps you stay organized and make your saved pins more actionable.
📸 Uploading a Thumbnail for Your Video Pin
When uploading a video to Pinterest via SocialBu, you’ll have the option to add a custom thumbnail image. This image will be shown as the video’s cover before it starts playing, helping you make a strong first impression.
