# Connect Pinterest to Outfy

## Introduction

Connecting your Pinterest account to Outfy allows you to create and schedule pins effortlessly across boards. This integration helps you maintain a consistent visual presence and reach Pinterest users without manual uploads.

**Note:** You must have a Pinterest Business account and authorize Outfy with the required permissions to publish on your behalf.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure the following:

1. **You have a Pinterest Business account**
   Outfy only works with Business accounts. If you’re using a personal Pinterest account, convert it to a Business account from Pinterest settings.
2. **You’re signed into the correct Pinterest account**
   Log in to the Pinterest Business account you want to connect. Using the wrong account will result in failed access.
3. **Your account is in good standing**
   Accounts that are restricted or flagged by Pinterest may block third-party publishing access. Make sure your account complies with Pinterest’s Community Guidelines.
4. **You’re using a desktop browser with pop-up blockers disabled**
   Outfy’s Pinterest connection opens in a separate window. Disable any pop-up blockers or browser extensions that might interfere with the process.

## FAQs

**1. Can I use a personal Pinterest account with Outfy?**
No. Outfy only supports Pinterest Business accounts.

**2. Do I need to create boards before connecting?**
Yes. Your Pinterest boards must exist already, as Outfy requires you to select a board when publishing a pin.

**3. Can I connect multiple Pinterest accounts?**
Yes, but each Pinterest Business account must be added separately.

**4. Why does it ask for login if I'm already signed into Pinterest?**
Outfy uses Pinterest’s official API to request permission. Even if you’re logged in, the system needs you to authorize access for security.
