## Short answer

**Can OpenClaw create Pinterest pins when I send it photos of my finished work?**

Yes. Send OpenClaw the photo and a sentence in a channel configured in your Gateway. It matches the file in your Tareno library, writes a title and description, proposes a board from your real boards and saves a draft. It cannot create boards, and scheduling stays pending until you approve it in Tareno.

Florists, bakers and makers photograph their work at the moment it is finished, usually on a phone, usually between two other jobs. Pinterest is where that work can be found months later by someone planning a wedding, but the pin never gets made because the photo sits in a camera roll. OpenClaw lives in the chat apps a workshop already uses, so the pin can start from the same message that shares the photo. This page follows a florist from a bouquet photo to a saved pin, with the board choice and the tall-image rule that Pinterest rewards.

## Example: a florist pins a finished autumn bouquet

Imagine a florist who finishes an autumn bouquet and sends the photo to OpenClaw on Signal with one line: dahlias, eucalyptus and rose hips, hand-tied, for a September wedding. The photo is uploaded to the Tareno library, and OpenClaw finds it with `list_media`. It writes a title with the phrase brides search, a 300-character description and alt text, and lists her boards with `get_platform_options`. It proposes the board Autumn Wedding Bouquets and saves the draft with `create_drafts`. She approves a Thursday 19:00 request in the dashboard, when she sits down with her phone.

## Step by step

1. **Upload the photo and message the details.** Put the photo in the Tareno library and message OpenClaw what is in the bouquet and what it was for. The flowers named in the message become the words people search.
2. **Let it find the file.** OpenClaw looks the photo up with `list_media` and tells you if the name does not match. Pinterest needs media, so there is no pin without a file.
3. **Check the shape of the photo.** Tareno's configuration recommends a tall 2:3 image for Pinterest. If the photo is landscape, OpenClaw says so, and you choose another or crop it before upload.
4. **Choose the board.** OpenClaw lists your boards with `get_platform_options` and proposes one. A pin on the right board is found by the right audience, and a wrong board is easy to miss.
5. **Review the draft in the chat.** OpenClaw replies with the title and description, and you edit in the same conversation. It saves the draft through `create_drafts` only after you agree.
6. **Request a time and approve.** Tell OpenClaw the day and time, and approve the pending request in the Tareno dashboard. Pins surface over weeks, so one or two a week is plenty.

## Prompts to copy

### Draft from the photo

```text
Use Tareno to find the photo [autumn-bouquet-04.jpg] in my media library. Write a Pinterest title within 100 characters, a description of about 300 characters and one sentence of alt text for a hand-tied bouquet of dahlias, eucalyptus and rose hips made for a September wedding. Show me the text before you save anything.
```

### Pick the board

```text
List my Pinterest boards through Tareno for the account [florist name] and tell me which one fits this bouquet best. If none fits, say so and suggest a board name, and remind me that I have to create it on Pinterest myself.
```

### Save the draft

```text
Save the approved title, description and photo as a draft for my Pinterest account through Tareno, with the board I confirmed. Reply with the draft ID, and do not schedule anything until I tell you the day and the time zone.
```

### Request the evening slot

```text
Ask Tareno to schedule draft [draft ID] for [Thursday 19:00] in the [Europe/Berlin] time zone. Reply with the pending action ID and tell me that the pin is not live until I approve the request in the Tareno dashboard.
```

## Pinterest in Tareno

- Tareno's configuration for Pinterest recommends a 2:3 image and allows jpg or png, so a phone photo taken in portrait works and a landscape one looks small in the feed.
- Pinterest needs a board for a pin to be scheduled or published; a draft can exist without one, but OpenClaw asks for it so the request is ready.
- Tareno has no tool that creates a board, so a new theme such as winter weddings needs a board made on Pinterest first.
- Tareno does not read comments on Pinterest pins, so replies from visitors stay on Pinterest and are not summarized by OpenClaw.

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

- Pinning a photo of a client's event without asking. Check agreement before a recognizable setting goes public.
- Sending a landscape photo. Take the portrait version, or crop before you upload it.
- Describing the bouquet with a feeling instead of its flowers. People search for dahlias, not for romantic.
- Expecting OpenClaw to create the board. It can only choose among existing boards.

## What does not work

- OpenClaw cannot create a Pinterest board through Tareno, so the board has to exist on Pinterest before it can be chosen.
- It cannot read comments on pins, because Tareno does not expose comments for Pinterest.
- It cannot publish a pin on its own, since a time request becomes a pin only after you approve it in the Tareno dashboard.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I make a pin just by sending OpenClaw a photo?

You start it that way. With a channel configured in your Gateway and the photo in your Tareno library, OpenClaw writes the text, proposes a board and saves a draft. You approve the time in the dashboard.

### What image shape works best on Pinterest?

Tareno's configuration recommends a tall 2:3 image, for example 1000 by 1500 pixels, in jpg or png. OpenClaw tells you when a photo is landscape, and you choose a different one or crop it.

### How does OpenClaw choose the board?

It reads your real boards through Tareno and proposes the closest, explaining why. It cannot invent a board, so if the theme is new, make the board on Pinterest and ask again.

### How many pins should I make per bouquet?

One strong pin per photo is enough. Tareno allows one image per pin, so a second photo of the same bouquet becomes a second pin with a different title and, ideally, a different board.

### Does it need Pinterest's long description?

No. Pinterest's API allows 800 characters and Tareno's configuration stops at 500, but a description of about 300 that names the flowers and the occasion is enough for people searching.

### Does a pin appear as soon as I send the photo?

No. Only a draft is saved. A time request is a pending action in Tareno, and Pinterest receives the pin after you approve it in the dashboard. `get_action_status` shows the outcome.

## Tareno tools used

- `list_media`
- `get_platform_options`
- `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.
