Create a Pinterest Pin from a New Etsy Listing

Configure your Etsy store by entering your shop ID in the "What is your Etsy store?" field. You can find your shop ID in your Etsy shop URL (the number after /shop/). The trigger automatically checks for new listings every hour and captures essential listing data like title, description, images, and product URL. When a new listing is detected, it passes this information to the next step to begin the Pinterest pin creation process.

This step automatically fetches all images associated with your new Etsy listing using the listing ID from the trigger. It retrieves image URLs in various sizes, with the workflow specifically using the full-size image URL for optimal Pinterest display quality. The step runs automatically without any configuration needed, pulling image data that gets passed to the final Pinterest pin creation step.

This AI step shortens the Etsy listing title. The prompt instructs AI to "Shorten the Etsy listing title to under 100 characters while preserving its original meaning and key terms: {{etsy.title}}". The AI analyzes the title, identifies the most important keywords and product descriptors, and creates a condensed version as {{ai.response}} that fits Pinterest's 100-character limit while maintaining search relevance and clarity.

Example transformation:

• Original (125 chars): "Handmade Ceramic Coffee Mug Set - Set of 4 Artisan Pottery Mugs - Unique Kitchen Decor - Perfect Housewarming Gift"
• Shortened (98 chars): "Handmade Ceramic Coffee Mug Set - 4 Artisan Pottery Mugs - Unique Kitchen Decor & Gift"

This AI step shortens the Etsy listing description. The prompt instructs AI to "Shorten the Etsy listing description to under 500 characters while preserving its original meaning and key terms: {{etsy.description}}". The AI extracts the essential product details, benefits, and keywords, creating a condensed version as {{ai_1.response}} that works for Pinterest while preserving searchability and appeal.

AI preservation priorities:

• Product features and materials
• Unique selling points
• Size/dimension information
• Keywords for search visibility
• Call-to-action elements

This step creates a Pinterest pin with the optimized content.

Configuration: You must provide a board_id during setup—to find your board ID, go to Pinterest, open the board where you want pins to appear, look at the URL (like pinterest.com/yourname/board-name), or use Pinterest's developer tools to get the numeric board ID. The pin includes:

• link: {{etsy.url}} (direct link to the Etsy listing)
• title: {{ai.response}} (AI-shortened title under 100 characters)
• description: {{ai_1.response}} (AI-shortened description under 500 characters)
• media_source: Image URL {{etsy_1.results[0].url_fullxfull}} with source_type "image_url" and is_standard "true"

The pin is published publicly and indexed by Pinterest's search engine. Over time, it can drive ongoing organic traffic as users search for related products, making this a valuable long-term marketing channel.
