If Pinterest rejects a pin
Claude sees the same message and can fix the pin for you.
| What you see | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| If posting a video you have to also include a cover image as second media | Add a picture after the video. Pinterest uses it as the cover. |
| You can upload a maximum of 5 images per post on Pinterest. | Remove pictures until there are 5 or fewer. |
| The specified board was not found. Please check the board ID. | The board was deleted or renamed. Pick a board again in the Pinterest settings. |
