Build a flow by choosing where work comes from and what should happen to each item. Start from a recipe in Automations, or choose Start from scratch.
1

Choose the source

Add My website posts, Find topics or My topics list. Configure the website, niche, written list or Project, then choose how many items to process each week.
2

Add the actions

Click a step to add it where it fits, or drag it into a valid position. Topics can become articles; articles can become WordPress posts; public pages can become Pins. The builder highlights missing steps and incompatible connections.

Configure output and approvals

Choose article and image options, template sets, destinations and Pin spacing. Add Wait for my OK before an action you want to approve.
4

Review the plan

Give the automation a useful name. Check What will happen, the weekly run day and time, Next 4 weeks and any credit estimate. Fix every problem before testing or turning it on.
Changes save automatically; check Saved before leaving.

​
Article and WordPress settings

Write articles lets you choose 3–25 ideas per article, a wide, square or tall image shape, and a niche. From each topic lets the article’s topic determine the niche. Each idea costs 2 credits. Publish on WordPress uses your default site or a site selected for that step. Add a category if needed and choose Publish or Save as draft.
A WordPress draft is not a public page. The flow stops there until the post is published; it does not send Pins to an unpublished draft URL.

​
Pin settings

Design Pins creates 1–20 Pins per page using Pinsearch templates or one of your custom template sets. Templates need photos that fit their layouts, so the number successfully created can differ from the requested count. Schedule on Pinterest chooses the account and whether Pins go straight to Queue or wait in Drafts. Set the gap between Pins for the same post. Queue output also depends on the account’s posting times and limits.

​
Weekly runs and the calendar

The weekly day and time control when the automation starts creating work. Pinterest queue times control when its Pins are published. These are separate schedules. Next 4 weeks is a workload preview. Actual publication can move because of approvals, available queue times, spacing, credits or errors. See source options and testing.
