Pinterest scheduler
A Pinterest scheduler that only posts what you approve
You review each pin once. Bloomtack decides when it goes live: a few pins a day, at different times every day, inside the hours your audience is on Pinterest.
The review queue
New pins wait in a queue, one card per pin, with the image or video, headline, title, description, board and link. You approve, reject or edit each one. On a keyboard that’s A, R and E, with the arrow keys to move between cards. On a phone you swipe. The buttons stay on screen either way, and every approve or reject can be undone for 10 seconds.
There is no bulk approve, no approve-by-rule and no auto-publish. Each approval is recorded with who approved the pin and when, which is also what Pinterest expects from apps that publish on a person’s behalf.
If a pin should go out right away, “Publish now” sends one approved pin immediately.
How each day’s times are picked
Shortly after midnight in your audience’s time zone, the planner picks today’s number of pins at random inside your preset. It splits the active window into that many equal parts and picks a random minute in each one, then redraws any slot that lands too close to its neighbor.
The result is a schedule that never looks the same two days in a row, and never bunches pins together. If you approve more pins during the day and there are still open slots, the planner runs again for the rest of the day.
Slots are filled with the newest posts first, then with the designs your A/B test favors, then with the oldest approved pins.
Rules the schedule always follows
- One pin per post link per day.
- The same link again only after 7 days, and on a different board.
- Never two pins in a row on the same board.
- Never a near-duplicate image on the same account.
- Never more than 10 pins a day on one account.
Fresh pins for older posts
A blog with hundreds of posts shouldn’t mean picking posts by hand. New pins are generated in order: new posts first, then posts that have never been pinned, then posts due for a fresh pin. A post is due 30 days after its last pin, or after 14 days when its pins beat your account’s average.
Each fresh pin is a new version with a different design, headline angle and board from the post’s last pin, up to 4 a month per post. The same image and link never go out twice. You can pause fresh pins for any post, and every post keeps a history of when it was pinned, where, and how each pin did.
When something goes wrong
- Pinterest is busy or down. The pin is retried after 1, 5 and 15 minutes. After the third failure it’s marked as failed and you get a notice.
- No duplicates after a crash. Before any retry, Bloomtack checks the board for the same link and title, so a pin is never posted twice.
- Pinterest access revoked. The account pauses, and you see a “Reconnect” banner and get an email.
- The queue runs low. You’re told when approved pins cover less than 2 days. If none are left, the planner pauses and picks up again after your next approval.
- You’re away. Pause, resume or turn on vacation mode for any account.
Scheduling questions
Why random times instead of fixed ones?
A steady, natural pace spread across the day looks like a person posting, reaches readers at different times, and avoids the bursts that make automated accounts stand out.
How does Bloomtack choose the board?
You map blog categories to boards once. Pins rotate across the boards mapped to the post’s category, and you can change the board on any pin before approving it.
Can I see Pinterest traffic in my own analytics?
Yes. Pin links carry UTM tags (source pinterest, medium social, and the design ID as the campaign), turned on by default, so tools like Google Analytics show Pinterest visits per design.
