What the Tailwind Zapier app can do<\/h2>\n
Here’s everything in the app at launch: one trigger and a set of actions.<\/p>\n
New Published Pin (trigger)<\/h4>\n
Fires each time Tailwind publishes a Pin. Use it for every Board or limit it to one Board.<\/p>\n
Create Pin<\/h4>\n
Creates a Pin from an image or video URL, or from a file passed along by another app. You pick the timing: Save as a draft<\/strong>, Next open SmartSchedule slot<\/strong>, or At a specific time<\/strong>. You can set the Board, Board section, destination link and alt text.<\/p>\n The three timing choices in Create Pin’s “When to publish” field.<\/p><\/div>\n Work on drafts and scheduled Pins. Once a Pin is published on Pinterest, Zapier can’t edit or delete it.<\/p>\n Takes a file from another app – Google Drive, Dropbox, a form upload – so Create Pin can use it.<\/p>\n Creates AI-designed Pin drafts from any page URL, using the Basic, Premium or No template design. If the drafts are still processing when the step finishes, a Get SmartPin Generation step fetches them.<\/p>\n Asks Ghostwriter for Pin titles and descriptions, using the brand voice set in your Tailwind account. You give it a content type, a topic, and optionally keywords and a call to action. It returns text only, so map the results into a Create Pin or Update Pin step. If the copy is still processing, a Get Pin Copy step fetches it.<\/p>\n Add to or remove from your saved keywords list.<\/p>\n Zap steps cost the same as doing the same thing in the Tailwind dashboard:<\/p>\n Zapier counts tasks on your Zapier plan separately. Your plan’s credit amounts are on Tailwind’s pricing page.<\/p>\n Before you build a Zap, check whether something you already have does the job.<\/p>\n If you want Pins for new blog posts, SmartPin’s<\/a> weekly automation and website sync already do that. Best posting times come from SmartSchedule. Check these first; a Zap that rebuilds a built-in feature is just one more thing to maintain.<\/p>\n Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini to Tailwind when the work needs judgment or conversation: “Which of my Boards need better descriptions?” or “Draft five Pins for this post and show me before scheduling.” Everything it can do is in our guide to using Tailwind from AI assistants<\/a>, and setup is on the Tailwind MCP page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Use Zapier to connect Tailwind to your other apps: when something happens in one of them, Tailwind takes the same step every time – or the reverse. No prompting, and it runs while you’re asleep.<\/p>\n Each recipe lists the apps, the steps, and what it saves you. Swap in the apps you actually use; Airtable works anywhere Google Sheets appears, and Dropbox anywhere Google Drive does.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Google Sheets + Filter by Zapier + Tailwind<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> your team plans in the sheet, you approve row by row, and nobody retypes anything into the scheduler. Marking a row “Approved” is your choice of that Pin.<\/p>\n Take it further:<\/strong> add a Google Sheets Update Spreadsheet Row<\/strong> step that writes back “Scheduled” and the Tailwind post ID that Create Pin returns. Recipe 10 uses that ID.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Google Drive + Tailwind (+ Slack, optional)<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> your designer or VA drops graphics in one place. They show up in Tailwind as drafts, ready for you to review and schedule in one pass.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Dropbox + Delay by Zapier + Tailwind<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> you keep designing in Canva or wherever you like, and Ghostwriter writes the first draft of the copy in your brand voice. Because it lands as a draft, you can edit the words before anything is scheduled.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Etsy or Shopify + Delay by Zapier + Tailwind + Slack or Gmail<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> new products get Pin drafts the day they go live, without you remembering to make them. The drafts wait in Tailwind for you to pick the ones worth scheduling.<\/p>\n If your store is already connected through SmartPin’s website sync, check whether it covers your new products before adding this Zap. The Zap is most useful when you want drafts the moment a listing goes live, or when your shop lives on Etsy. For getting product Pins found once they’re live, see Pinterest SEO for ecommerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Typeform or Jotform + Tailwind + Slack<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> one intake for everyone who contributes – staff, VAs, clients – and nothing gets scheduled until you’ve looked at it.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Tailwind + Slack<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> the team sees what went out without logging in. If a destination link is wrong, someone spots it on day one. Fix published Pins on Pinterest directly, since Zapier can’t edit them.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Tailwind + Google Sheets<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> a sortable archive of everything you’ve published. It’s easy to share with a client or a partner, and easy to line up against your own sales or traffic data.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Tailwind + Digest by Zapier + Gmail<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> if you manage Pinterest for clients, they get a regular record of the work without you assembling it every Friday.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> Google Sheets + Tailwind<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> brainstorms from your team, lists from a client, notes you jot on your phone – they all end up in one saved list in Tailwind.<\/p>\n Saving a keyword doesn’t tell you whether people search for it. Check demand in Keyword Research<\/a> before you build Pins or Boards around it. Our guide to Pinterest keyword research<\/a> walks through how, and building Boards around keywords<\/a> covers what to do next.<\/p>\n Apps:<\/strong> your store or inventory sheet + Google Sheets + Tailwind<\/p>\n This one needs the Tailwind post IDs logged by recipe 1’s “Take it further” step.<\/p>\n What it saves you:<\/strong> you stop sending Pinterest traffic to a page where nobody can buy. It only touches Pins still in your queue; published Pins stay on Pinterest. The same pattern works with Update Pin<\/strong> to swap the destination link when a sale page ends.<\/p>\n You need a Tailwind account with your Pinterest account connected from the Tailwind dashboard.<\/p>\n Every field in a Create Pin step. Pinterest account, Board and When to publish are required.<\/p><\/div>\n Save this guide for later.<\/strong> Pin whichever of these fits your boards best.<\/p>\n Does Tailwind have a Zapier integration?<\/strong> Can Zapier publish Pins to Pinterest automatically?<\/strong> Do Tailwind’s Zapier actions use credits?<\/strong> Can I edit or delete a published Pin from Zapier?<\/strong> Do I need Zapier if I already connect Tailwind to an AI assistant?<\/strong> Does Tailwind’s Zapier app work with Instagram or other networks?<\/strong> Recipe 6 (Slack) and recipe 2 (drafts from a folder) are the quickest to set up and the easiest to check. You’ll know it’s working when the first Pin shows up in Slack or your Tailwind drafts without you touching it.<\/p>\n Zapier is one more way into Tailwind, alongside the dashboard and your AI assistant: AI-assisted Pinterest marketing, connected to the tools you already run your business on.<\/p>\n Try Tailwind free<\/a><\/strong> – no credit card needed.<\/p>\n Tailwind on Zapier Tailwind is now a public app on Zapier.

<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nFAQ<\/h2>\n
\nYes. As of October 2026, Tailwind is a public app on Zapier. It has one trigger (New Published Pin) and actions to create, schedule, update, unschedule and delete Pins, upload media, generate SmartPins and Pin copy, and manage saved keywords.<\/p>\n
\nZapier can schedule Pins through Tailwind, but Pinterest’s developer terms require a person to choose each Pin that gets published. Build Zaps so that either a person approves each Pin before it’s scheduled – an “Approved” column, for example – or the Zap saves drafts for you to review.<\/p>\n
\nScheduling a Pin, Generate SmartPins and Generate Pin Copy use your plan’s credits, the same as in the dashboard. Saving drafts, uploading media, editing, unscheduling, deleting and keyword actions don’t. Zapier tasks count against your Zapier plan separately.<\/p>\n
\nNo. Zapier works on drafts and scheduled Pins. Change published Pins on Pinterest.<\/p>\n
\nThey do different jobs. Your assistant is for conversational work that needs judgment. Zapier runs the same steps every time something happens in another app. You can use both.<\/p>\n
\nNo. Tailwind is a Pinterest marketing platform, and the Zapier app works with Pinterest only.<\/p>\nPick one recipe and build it this week<\/h2>\n
