Pinterest has built-in scheduling. Here's how to use it:
Click the '+' button on Pinterest and select 'Create Pin'. Upload your image and add title, description, and link.
Choose which board to pin to. You can also create a new board if needed.
Instead of 'Publish', select the date/time option and choose when you want the pin to go live (up to 30 days ahead).
For more flexibility and features, use a dedicated scheduler like Saki. Here's how:
Sign up for Saki and connect your Pinterest business account. The process takes under 2 minutes.
Upload your image, add your pin title, description, and destination link. Select which board to pin to.
Pick a specific date and time, or let Smart Slots automatically find the best times based on Pinterest engagement patterns.
