Pinterest Actions

Let people enter with Pinterest, visit your profile, or submit one of their Pins or Boards.

Tip

New to Pinterest contests? Our Pinterest integration page has demos, examples and best practice.

Note

Follow on Pinterest, Pin Image and Pin Image(s) from Board are no longer available, because of changes to Pinterest's API terms.

Some Pinterest actions ask entrants to sign in to Pinterest and let the Gleam Competitions app act for them:

Pinterest authorisation prompt shown to entrants

Pinterest Entry gives entrants an entry for logging in with Pinterest. Choose whether they complete straight away, or get the option to follow you afterwards.

Gleam interface showing the Enter using Pinterest action

Following is always optional. It can't be required to complete the action.

Pinterest Visit sends entrants to your Pinterest profile. If they like what they see, they can follow you too.

Gleam interface showing the Visit on Pinterest action

Add your Pinterest Username, choose whether to offer the follow option, and pick what happens After Visiting. Switch on Require Authentication to make entrants log in with Pinterest first.

Entrants choose one of their own Pins to enter, which is perfect for photo contests and collages. The Pin has to already be on their profile. We can't reward people for creating Pins, since that's against Pinterest's terms.

Gleam interface showing the Select a Pin action

Name the action and use Instructions to describe the Pin you're after.

Tip

Add Require hashtags so entrants can only pick Pins tagged with your campaign hashtag. Choose whether they need all of your hashtags or any one of them.

Entrants submit one of their Boards. Ask them to make an inspiration board, then enter it.

Gleam interface showing the Select a Board action

Name the action and use Instructions to describe the kind of Board you want.
