      How to connect Pinterest to Databox

      CONNECT-PINTEREST2

      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. 

      Pro Tip: Each Pinterest Account must be connected as a separate Data Source in Databox (1 Account = 1 Data Source). Learn more here.

      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.

      Pro Tip: 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.   

      The amount of historical data you're able to access in Databox is dependent on your Databox plan. Learn more here.

      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.

      4. View the list of pre-built Pinterest Datablocks in the Metric Library. Click on the Metric or drag and drop your selected Datablock onto your Databoard.    
      5.  If a pre-built Datablock isn't available for your use case, navigate to the Visualization Types section above the Metric Library.
      6. View the list of Visualizations available in Databox. Click on the Visualization or drag and drop the selected Datablock to your Databoard.
      7. Click on the Datablock on the Databoard to open the corresponding Datablock Editor on the right-hand side of the Designer.
      8. In the Metrics drop-down, click Data Source to select the appropriate Data Source. This will filter out metrics from the specific Data Source.
      9. In the main Metrics drop-down, select the metric you'd like to display on the Datablock, using the Search bar if needed. This will update the Datablock, and it will populate with the corresponding data.
