PostQueen posts image Pins, multi-image Pins and video Pins to the board you choose, each with a title, a description and a destination link.

​
Post settings

Each Pinterest post in the composer has these settings:
  • Title: the Pin title, up to 100 characters. Optional.
  • Link: where the Pin sends people who click it. Optional.
  • Select board: the board the Pin is saved to. Required. Your boards load into the list, up to 250 of them.
  • Select Pin Color: a background color Pinterest shows while the Pin loads. Off until you turn it on.
The post text becomes the Pin description. The field names and values for the API are on Pinterest posting settings.

​
Good to know

  • Before a post is scheduled, PostQueen checks that it has 1 to 5 media items, that the images in a multi-image Pin all have the same width and height, and that a video Pin is one video and one cover image.
  • Video length, file size and format are Pinterest’s rules, and PostQueen does not check them first. Pinterest takes video Pins of 4 seconds to 5 minutes and images of up to 20 MB.
  • A video is uploaded first, and PostQueen waits up to about 30 minutes while Pinterest processes it before the Pin is created.
  • Pinterest has no way to tell whether an interrupted Pin went out. PostQueen then stops and asks you to check the account instead of pinning twice.
  • The numbers for each Pin cover the last 89 days, not the Pin’s whole life.
