To connect a Pinterest Account in Databox, go to **Data Manager > + New connection.** Type**Pinterest** in the search bar and click on the green **Connect**button. Next, click the green **Connect now** button.

This will open the **Authorization** window, which is where you will be prompted to enter your Pinterest login credentials and authorize the Databox app.

Each Pinterest Account must be connected as a separate Data Source in Databox (1 Account = 1 Data Source). Learn more [here](/add-a-connection)

## What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new Pinterest Data Source Metric in Databox?

When you connect a new Pinterest Data Source in Databox, 36 months worth of historical data is initially synced.

Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available. For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team via live char or at [help@databox.com](mailto:help@databox.com).

In order to start syncing data for a Metric, you can add it to your Metrics screen, use it in a Scorecard, set a Goal around it, create an Alert for it, or add it to a Databoard. Learn more [here](/data-sync-storage-security-in-databox).
The amount of historical data you're able to access in Databox is dependent on your Databox plan. Learn more [here](/choose-a-subscription-plan).

## What time zone does Pinterest data sync in?

Pinterest data is synced in the UTC time zone.

## How often does Pinterest data sync?

All Pinterest Data Sources will sync every hour with Databox. Learn more [here](/data-sync-storage-security-in-databox).
