How to schedule Pinterest posts

Once you’ve connected your Pinterest account to SocialBee, you can start planning and scheduling your Pins with ease.

Here’s how to schedule Pinterest Pins using SocialBee from your computer/desktop device:

  1. From the top of any screen, click “Create post” to open the Post Editor, where you can create a new Pin.

  1. Select your Pinterest profile from the left sidebar. 

  1. SocialBee will automatically activate the “Customize each” toggle to unlock advanced settings for Pinterest. Click “Proceed.”

  1. Choose from multiple boards and add a destination link. Select the Pinterest board where you want to publish your Pin, then include the URL you want your audience to visit, such as a product page, blog article, or landing page.

  1. Add your Pin title and description. Write a short, keyword-rich caption that clearly explains what your Pin is about. You can also click the AI button to generate optimized Pinterest posts automatically, including text and images.
  2. Upload your visuals. Pinterest supports both images and videos. Drag and drop your file, then use the built-in editing tools to crop, resize, or flip it to match your board’s aesthetic.

  4. Add alt text. Include descriptive alt text to improve accessibility and provide more details about your image.

  1. Generate and save hashtags. Click the hashtag generator icon (wand + hashtag) to find relevant hashtags for your Pin based on your caption and media. You can also save your favorites for future use.

  1. Preview your Pin. On the right side of the screen, you’ll see a real-time preview showing exactly how your Pin will appear once published.
  2. Add your post to a content category (folder) to keep your Pins organized by topic. 
  3. Choose when to publish pins. You can post immediately or schedule posts for a specific date and time. When you schedule, SocialBee will suggest the best posting times based on your past engagement data. 
  4. (Optional) Reuse or expire social posts. Enable “Re-queue after posting” to keep resharing evergreen Pins, or use “Expire post” to automatically stop sharing after a set campaign period.

  1. Toggle between “This is approved” or “This is a draft” if you’re collaborating with teammates for approval. 
  2. Finally, click “Save post” from the bottom right side of the screen. SocialBee will automatically publish your post to the Pinterest app on the schedule date you selected.

Whether you want to post a new video or multiple photos, SocialBee makes it easy to plan ahead and stay consistent. Start creating your posts in bulk, schedule them, and never worry about logging in to post ever again.


Why use Pinterest scheduling tools instead of posting natively?

Scheduling tools like SocialBee make Pinterest marketing easier for busy social media managers who need to plan multiple posts in advance. Instead of logging in every time to post manually, you can organize your Pins, plan them by category, and schedule them to go live when your audience is most active.
