Permission / scope	Why we need it
user_accounts:read	Identify the connected Pinterest account (GET /v5/user_account).
boards:read	List destination boards (GET /v5/boards).
boards:write	Required by Pinterest Create Pin (POST /v5/pins) in addition to pins:write. BrandMilo does not create, edit, or delete boards.
pins:read	Required on the official Create Pin security list; supports Pin status if reconciliation is used.
pins:write	Create Pins from approved drafts (POST /v5/pins).

Authorization

Users connect a Pinterest business account through Pinterest’s official OAuth Authorization Code flow. BrandMilo stores encrypted tokens and syncs boards for destination selection. Eligible invited workspaces use the production API. Sandbox is not the customer connection.

Disconnect

Pinterest disconnect becomes available when Pinterest Connect is enabled. Until then, disconnect enabled integrations such as Etsy from Integrations. Imported drafts stay until you request deletion. Previously created Pins remain on Pinterest unless removed there.

Deletion

Delete BrandMilo drafts, publication history, and account data through Data & Privacy controls or the public Data Deletion page.

Current

Private beta. Pinterest Standard Access is approved. Eligible invited workspaces use the production API. Sandbox is an internal test environment only.

Intended user flow

Connect Pinterest → authorize through OAuth → read authorized boards → select a board → review and edit a BrandMilo draft → explicitly publish a Pin. No scraping, no Pinterest passwords, and no unattended mass posting.

Important limitation

Pinterest Trial is for controlled testing and validation. Broader user-facing availability remains subject to Standard Access. Production Connect is not enabled for every workspace.

Known limitations

Scheduling is managed by BrandMilo (application-side). Create Pin requests do not include a Pinterest publish_at field.
Sandbox and production stay separate. A Sandbox Pin is not a production Pin.
Pinterest Standard Access is approved. Eligible invited workspaces can publish through the production API. Public status remains Private beta and is not generally available.
Connect, board sync, and publishing stay limited to invited workspaces. This is not general availability.
