Add the feed URL
Use the RSS or Atom address your blog already publishes, not the homepage. WordPress, Ghost, and most other blogs expose one by default.

Pinterest RSS feedsa new post becomes a pin
Point Pin Generator at your blog's RSS or Atom feed. When an article is published, a pin is designed from it and queued for the boards you picked.

The feed form loads in the browser. Log in to connect an RSS or Atom URL.
// how it works
From a new article to a scheduled pin
The feed is the list of posts. Pin Generator only acts when that list grows.
02
Save a design for that feed
The pin uses the template, text, and images you set up for the feed. Load those settings back any time from the feed row if you want to change the look.
03
Choose where it is pinned
Pick boards yourself, or let board selection match the article to a board you already have. New items are then scheduled, not posted in one burst.
// before it posts
You still approve the pin
A feed can publish faster than you can review it. Pins created this way can wait on the approvals page until you accept or reject them. That step is there because Pinterest expects each post to be considered before it is scheduled.
If the feed URL starts failing, the feed is paused and the error is shown on the row. Fix the source, then reactivate it. Nothing new is created while it is paused.

RSS and Atom feed FAQ
Can I turn an RSS or Atom feed into Pinterest pins?
Yes. Add the feed URL and Pin Generator checks it for new articles. Each new item can become a pin, using the design settings you saved for that feed, and then be scheduled to the boards you chose or to a board Pinterest's content matches.
What is the difference between RSS and Atom?
Both are feeds blogs publish so other tools can see new posts. RSS is the older format. Atom is a later one. Pin Generator accepts either, as long as the URL returns a feed of articles rather than a normal web page.
Do I have to approve pins from a feed before they go out?
Pins created from a feed can land in post approvals first. Pinterest asks that you consider each post before it is scheduled. Approve or reject them on the approvals page. You can also edit the title, description, and link there.
What happens if my feed breaks?
A feed that fails repeatedly is paused, and the error is shown next to it. Fix the URL or the feed, then reactivate it. Pausing stops new pins from being created until you turn it back on.
Does creating pins from a feed use credits?
Yes. Each pin generated from a feed uses credits, the same way a pin you design yourself does. If the account runs out of credits, generation stops until you add more.
// ready when you are
Publish the post. The pin follows.
Connect the feed once. New articles after that are the ones that become pins.
