## Short answer

**Can Claude write Pinterest pin titles and descriptions and save them to a board through Tareno?**

Yes. Claude turns your recipe post into a pin with a title within 100 characters, a description and alt text, matches an image from your Tareno library and saves a draft. The board is chosen from your real boards, and scheduling stays pending until you approve it in Tareno. Claude cannot create boards or read pin comments.

Pinterest works like a search engine that happens to show pictures. People type what they want to cook, and the pin that answers it with a clear title and a useful description gets saved for months. That makes the words more important than on most networks, and it makes copying the blog headline a mistake, because a headline written for readers is rarely the phrase someone typed. Claude can write for the search first and the reader second, and Tareno carries the result onto the right board. This page follows a recipe blogger through an autumn batch, including the board rule that stops a pin from being scheduled without a destination.

## Example: a recipe blogger prepares autumn pins

Imagine a food blogger with twelve autumn recipes. She keeps her tone notes and a list of search phrases in a Claude Project. For each recipe she pastes the post and the photo name. Claude writes a title within 100 characters that leads with the phrase people search, such as "easy pumpkin soup with coconut milk", a 400-character description that mentions the ingredients and the time, and a sentence of alt text. It lists her boards with `get_platform_options` and proposes the best board for each pin. She corrects two board choices, Claude saves the twelve drafts with `create_drafts`, and she requests slots spread over three weeks.

## Step by step

1. **Keep the search phrases in the Project.** Put your tone notes and the phrases your readers type into a Claude Project. Pinterest titles work when they start with a phrase someone searches, not with the cleverest line of the post.
2. **Paste one recipe at a time.** Give Claude the post and the photo name. It writes the title, description and alt text from the recipe itself, so the pin cannot promise an ingredient the post does not use.
3. **Respect the length limits.** Pinterest's API allows titles up to 100 characters and descriptions up to 800, and Tareno's configuration stops descriptions at 500. Ask Claude to count and to put the main phrase first.
4. **Choose the board from your real boards.** Claude reads your boards through `get_platform_options` and proposes one per pin. A pin can be saved as a draft without a board, but it needs one before it can be scheduled.
5. **Save the drafts.** Claude confirms the account with `list_accounts` and saves each pin through `create_drafts` with its image. Tareno allows one image per Pinterest pin, so choose the tall photo.
6. **Spread the requests and approve.** Ask for a few pins a week rather than twelve in a day. The requests become pending actions, and you approve them in the Tareno dashboard.

## Prompts to copy

### Write the pin text

```text
Using the search phrases in this Project, write a Pinterest title of at most 100 characters that starts with the phrase people search, a description of about 400 characters mentioning the main ingredients and the cooking time, and one sentence of alt text for the recipe pasted below: [recipe].
```

### Pick the board

```text
Use Tareno to list my Pinterest boards for the account [name] and propose the best board for each of the twelve pins, with one sentence of reasoning. Tell me which pins fit two boards and which fit none, so I can create a board on Pinterest first.
```

### Save the drafts

```text
Use Tareno to save the twelve approved pins as drafts for my Pinterest account, each with its photo from the media library and the board I confirmed. Return a table with draft ID, title and board, and request no times until I give you the schedule.
```

### Spread the schedule

```text
Ask Tareno to schedule the twelve drafts as three per week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at [08:30] in the [Europe/Berlin] time zone, and return the pending action IDs. Remind me that nothing is published until I approve each request in the Tareno dashboard.
```

## Pinterest in Tareno

- Tareno's configuration for Pinterest requires media, so every pin needs an image, and it allows one image per pin, which differs from Instagram or Threads where several fit.
- Pinterest's API description sets titles at 100 characters, descriptions at 800 and alt text at 500; Tareno's own configuration is stricter on descriptions, which stop at 500.
- The destination link goes into its own field in Tareno's configuration and does not get an automatic preview, so the blog link is not part of the description text.
- Tareno has no tool to create a board, so Claude can only choose among boards that already exist on the account.

Official rules ([Pinterest API v5 description (OpenAPI 5.28.0): create a Pin](https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/v5/pins-create/), checked 2026-10-24):

- Every Pin is created on a board, so the request needs a board ID. The title may be up to 100 characters and the description up to 800.
- Alt text may be up to 500 characters and the destination link up to 2,048. Both are optional in the API.
- Tareno's configuration for Pinterest is stricter than the API: media is required, descriptions stop at 500 characters, and the link goes into its own field.

## Mistakes to avoid

- Copying the blog headline as the pin title. Readers of the blog and searchers on Pinterest use different words.
- Scheduling without a board. A Pinterest draft can exist without one, but the request needs it.
- Choosing a wide photo. The recommended shape is tall, 2:3, and a landscape image looks small in the feed.
- Publishing twelve pins in one day. A steady rhythm keeps older pins surfacing and new ones visible.

## What does not work

- Claude cannot create a Pinterest board through Tareno, so a board that does not exist has to be created on Pinterest first.
- It cannot read comments on pins, because Tareno does not expose comments for Pinterest.
- It cannot make a pin go live on its own, since a time request becomes a pin only after you approve it in the Tareno dashboard.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why do Pinterest titles matter more than on other networks?

Because people search Pinterest for ideas, and the title is the strongest text signal on a pin. A title that starts with the phrase someone typed is easier to find than a clever headline. Claude can draft both, and you choose.

### How long can the title and description be?

Pinterest's API description allows titles up to 100 characters and descriptions up to 800. Tareno's configuration stops descriptions at 500, so Claude aims for 400 and counts before saving.

### Can Claude pick the board for me?

It proposes a board from your real boards, read through Tareno, and explains why. You confirm it, because a pin on the wrong board is hard to notice later. A draft may omit the board, but a request cannot.

### Can I attach several images to one pin?

Not in Tareno's configuration, which allows one image per Pinterest pin. Pick the strongest tall photo, and use a second pin for a second angle.

### Where does the recipe link go?

Into the pin's own link field. Tareno's configuration for Pinterest keeps the link separate and gives it no automatic preview, so Claude does not need to repeat the URL inside the description.

### Will pins go live without my approval?

No. A scheduling request becomes a pending action in Tareno, and Pinterest receives the pin only after you approve it in the dashboard. `get_action_status` shows what happened afterwards.

## Tareno tools used

- `get_platform_options`
- `list_accounts`
- `create_drafts`
- `get_action_status`

Approval model: Tareno saves drafts directly. Scheduling, publishing, edits to scheduled posts and deletions become pending actions that a person approves in the Tareno dashboard; no agent can approve them.
