Hey! Can you show a screenshot of the fields you’ve filled out for the last step of the zap, and perhaps a link to the image you are testing with? This will help us troubleshoot

I think, the main issue here is that Pinterest is expecting an image, and you are sending a video. Can you try again, but send an image this time instead?

I am putting an image instead of a video from my feed 

there you go

https://instagram.ftia2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/e35/40638215_2166707860317157_2137817992210009872_n.jpg?_nc_ht=instagram.ftia2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=101&_nc_ohc=nCx77Y9BVtQAX8afGPq&_nc_tp=18&oh=e5ce37af7642fef5b3edc6369a45cde0&oe=5FA4237D

and it works

But isn´t this supposed to work with videos too ?

Hi @Petud the Pinterest integration does not currently support creating a video pin, but it’s an existing feature request. I’ve gone ahead and added your vote for that. If/when it gets added, we’ll send you an email notification :)

@nicksimard thank you , i hope they integrate this feature fast

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have tried everything I can think of.
 

 

 

This example may be a video, BUT it isnt working when I post on my Instagram feed with photos too.

Hello! One thing yo could try might be to re-set your Pinterest credentials, but sadly this might be one for support @loganguest

And how does one reach support? I have never been contacted after numerous times of requesting help through the “help me” section. Only thing I see is this community which requires seperate credentials from the account I need support on… Apparently Zapier likes automation a little too much.
