3. Setting Up a Trello Card for Pinterest Posting

After establishing the connection with Trello in Pabbly Connect, you can now create a new card in Trello. This card will contain the content you wish to post on Pinterest.

For example, create a card titled ‘Beautiful House’. After adding the card, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect to capture the data from this new card. This step is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to retrieve the card details needed for posting on Pinterest.

• Ensure you include an image and description in your card.
• Use the ‘Delay’ feature to allow time for the card to be fully set up before proceeding.

Now, after the delay, select ‘Get a Card’ in Pabbly Connect to retrieve the complete details of the card you just created.

4. Connecting Pabbly Connect to Pinterest

With the Trello card set up, the next step is to connect your Pinterest account through Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select Pinterest and choose ‘Create Pin’ as the action event.

Click on ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Pinterest account. You will be prompted to authorize access to your Pinterest account, ensuring your data remains secure during this process.

Select the board where you want to post the pin. Map the image URL, title, and description from the Trello card to the corresponding fields in Pinterest.

Once all fields are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the pin in your Pinterest account.
