Pinterest Scheduling
Schedule Pinterest Pins, Video Pins, and Carousels
Markaestro schedules Pinterest image pins, video pins, and carousel pins of up to 5 images to a board you pick when you connect. Your caption becomes the pin description, media is checked against Pinterest's limits first, and pins publish through the official Pinterest API at the scheduled time.

What You Can Schedule on Pinterest
- Image pins
- Video pins
- Carousel pins with 2 to 5 images
- Pins saved to the board chosen for the brand
How Publishing Works
- Connect Pinterest and choose the board this brand pins to.
- At the scheduled time the pin is created on that board. Video pins wait for Pinterest to finish processing the upload before they are reported as published.
- The caption becomes the pin description. Markaestro checks captions against a 500-character limit for pins.
Limits Markaestro Checks Before You Schedule
The composer checks every Pinterest post against these limits while you write, so a post is never queued only to fail at publish time.
| Check | Limit |
|---|---|
| Caption length | 500 characters |
| Media required | Yes |
| Media per post | Up to 5 |
| Media types | Images, Video, Carousels |
Full image and video requirements are on the Pinterest specs page.
Metrics You Get Back
Once a post is live, Markaestro pulls its Pinterest metrics into Analytics, exactly as Pinterest reports them. A metric the platform does not return stays blank rather than showing zero.
- Impressions
- Saves
- Clicks
- Profile visits
- Followers gained
Those numbers also feed Intelligence, which finds your best posting windows and the posts worth reusing with Intelligent Evergreen.
