In order to start using the Pinterest integration, you will need to set up a new record of type “PINTEREST”. Follow the steps below:
In the main ADvendio menu (App launcher) type “Connections”
Click on the “Connections“ tab
Create a new connection record by selecting the option “New”
Select “PINTEREST ” as a new record type
A window “New connection: PINTEREST” will open: enter your username in the related mandatory field (“User Name”). If needed, use the Description field to store any additional information
Press Save. A new connection record (of type PINTEREST) will be created.
Follow the next steps to generate an OAuth token and complete the connection process.
Open the new Connection record you just created
In the right upper corner Click “Generate AdServer OAuth Token”
After your PINTEREST username pops up, click Submit
Under “Generate Authorization Code you will see “Link to Ad Server”
Log into Pinterest, and accept the authentication as shown in the screenshot below
