Create Pinterest Pins from OpenClaw

OpenClaw can create and schedule Pinterest pins through the Postiz skill. You send OpenClaw an image from a chat app with the board name, a title, and a destination link, and it calls the Postiz CLI to upload the image, resolve the board ID, set a dominant color, and schedule the pin.

openclaw automations for recurring content

OpenClaw automations run on cron expressions in an isolated session and can announce results to a chat channel. Create one that drafts and schedules your Pinterest content through Postiz, so nothing waits on a manual trigger.

openclaw automations (cron)

openclaw automations create "0 9 * * 1-5" \
  "Take the next image and caption in ~/content/pins, pin it to the Blog board with the article link as the destination, and schedule it for 11am." \
  --name "Pinterest daily post" \
  --session isolated \
  --announce --channel telegram \
  --to "<your chat id>"

# openclaw cron is an alias for the same command

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code, which has its own guide for posting to Pinterest from Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Pinterest integration, uploads your image, selects the right board, and creates the pin with your link and branding.

Claude Code

> Pin my new product image to the
  "Spring Collection" board with a link
  to the product page, use brand color

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Pinterest for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Pinterest + Other Platforms

Schedule the same image to Pinterest and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> Post "Excited to announce our new feature!" to
  Pinterest and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on Pinterest every weekday at 10am

OpenClaw: Done! Scheduled:
  - Pinterest + LinkedIn: tomorrow 9:00 AM
  - Daily tips on Pinterest: Mon-Fri 10:00 AM

What can you ask OpenClaw to do on Pinterest?

These are real messages you can send OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord. OpenClaw maps each one to the right Postiz command and Pinterest settings.

Link pin

Send to OpenClaw

> Pin cover.png to my Blog board at 11am with the title "How agents schedule social posts" and link it to the article.

Pinterest rules OpenClaw has to follow

Postiz enforces these Pinterest constraints when OpenClaw creates a post. Knowing them up front avoids a failed request.

✓A board is required. OpenClaw lists your boards through Postiz and needs the board ID, so name the board in your message.
✓Pins need an image. Text-only requests fail, so attach the visual when you ask.
✓Pin titles are capped at 100 characters. The description is where longer copy and keywords belong.
✓The link setting controls where the pin sends people. Include the full URL, including https, so Pinterest accepts it.

OpenClaw and Pinterest: frequently asked questions

How do I create Pinterest pins from OpenClaw?

Install the Postiz skill in OpenClaw, run postiz auth:login, and connect your Pinterest account in Postiz. Then send OpenClaw an image with the board name, title, and link. OpenClaw fetches the board ID, uploads the image, and schedules the pin with postiz posts:create.

Can OpenClaw choose the right Pinterest board?

Yes. Boards are exposed as a platform trigger in Postiz. OpenClaw runs postiz integrations:trigger to fetch your live board list, matches the name you gave, and passes the board ID. If the board name is ambiguous, OpenClaw asks you to confirm before scheduling.

Can OpenClaw add a destination link to a pin?

Yes. Pinterest has a link setting in Postiz. Give OpenClaw the URL and it becomes the click-through destination for the pin. Pair it with a clear title under 100 characters so the pin is useful in Pinterest search. Include https in the URL so Pinterest accepts it.

What is the dominant_color setting for Pinterest?

dominant_color is a hex color Postiz sends with the pin so Pinterest can render a matching placeholder while the image loads. It also helps pins feel consistent with your brand palette. Tell OpenClaw the hex code, or let it sample the image.

Does OpenClaw need Pinterest API access?

No. Postiz holds the Pinterest OAuth connection, and OpenClaw only runs the Postiz CLI. You authenticate OpenClaw with postiz auth:login or a Postiz API key, and there is no Pinterest developer app or access token for you to maintain. Revoke access from Postiz at any time.
