1
Select Pinterest Organic
On the Data Sources page, search for Pinterest Organic and select it.
2
Authorize through Pinterest
Sign in with the Pinterest Business account when redirected, then approve the requested read scopes for pins, boards, and account analytics. Pinterest shows the exact scope list on the consent screen.
3
Select metrics and breakdowns
Choose the metrics to import — impressions, saves, outbound clicks, closeups, and engagement — along with breakdowns such as board, pin, and date.
4
Save the connection
Select Save to start the initial backfill. The first sync runs in the background; pins and account metrics appear once the sync completes.
What gets imported
The connector imports pin-level metrics (impressions, saves, outbound clicks, closeups, engagement) alongside board hierarchy and account-level audience signals (follower count, lifetime pin and board counts). Data refreshes daily, with daily page metrics covering the most recent rolling window. For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, and limits, see the Pinterest Organic data reference.Troubleshooting
