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 :)

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?

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.
