Overview
Pinterest is an image sharing and social media service designed to enable saving and discovery of information. Integrating Lytics with Pinterest enables you to send Lytics audiences to target Pinterest users via ad exchange.
Authorization

The Pinterest account used for authorization must have Admin or Audience level permissions to enable the Pinterest Audience Export. More details on Pinterest Account permissions can be found here.
If you are new to creating authorizations in Lytics, see the Authorizations documentation for more information.
- Select Pinterest from the list of providers.

Export Audience
Sync Lytics audiences with Pinterest to identify and target the right users to improve the performance of your campaigns.
Integration Details
- Implementation Type: Server-side Integration.
- Implementation Technique: REST API Integration - Audience Trigger Integration
- Frequency: Real-time Integration
- Resulting data:
Pinterest Customer Lists populated with users from the selected Lytics audience.
This integration uses the Pinterest Marketing API to send the Lytics audience users. Once the job is started, it will:
-
Scan the selected Lytics audience and get each user's configured identifier. The job will then use Pinterest's Update Customer List endpoint to send users to your Pinterest Customer List.
-
The export job will run continuously. As users enter or exit the Lytics audience, they will be added to the queue. The queue will be sent to Pinterest every 5 minutes or or when the queue reaches 10,000 users, whichever comes first. For the users that enter the Lytics audience, the job will add the user in the Pinterest Customer List and will remove the user from it as the users exit the Lytics audience.
Your Pinterest customer list will not appear in your Pinterest account dashboard until it is done processing and can be matched with at least 100 Pinterest accounts.
Fields
The export job gives you an option to send Email, SHA256 Email, or Mobile Ad ID (MAID) to Pinterest to use as the identifier to match users. You can send Email, SHA256 Email, or Mobile Ad ID (MAID) as part of job configuration. A list can only contain one identifier type. All identifiers will be cryptographically hashed with SHA-256 algorithm, if not already SHA-256 hashed.
