hello everyone and in today's video I'm
0:02
going to show you how I was able to get
0:04
off this flat spot of approximately 40k
0:08
30k impressions per day up to 147k
0:13
impressions on my Pinterest account
0:16
using a simple make.com automation
0:19
that's going to delete underperforming
0:21
pins from my account basically I've
0:24
created an automation that checks if a
0:26
Pinterest pin has received less than 10
0:30
impressions in the last 90 days and also
0:33
it's going to check if the pin is older
0:37
than 90 days if both conditions are met
0:40
we're going to delete this pin from our
0:43
account so that our account can grow
0:46
like you see in this chart from my own
0:50
account i have applied this to multiple
0:52
accounts i I have seen the same type of
0:55
growth so I really recommend you to
0:58
follow this video i will have the
1:00
automations in the description but make
1:02
sure you watch the video so you know how
1:04
you can set it up and also at the end of
1:07
the video I'm going to show you a simple
1:10
uh automation to delete the boards which
1:13
will have zero pins because if you run
1:15
this automation probably you will have
1:17
some boards that will have none of the
1:20
pins inside them so you want to delete
1:22
them as well to make sure your Pinterest
1:26
account is growing it's getting a lot of
1:29
um impressions it's getting uh outbound
1:33
clicks and etc so this is the first
1:36
scenario basically what happens here we
1:39
are making an API call to Pinterest to
1:42
get the list of our pins pinterest API
1:47
returns you 250 of your pins with one
1:51
request but it also includes this
1:54
bookmark code that allows you to make
1:58
another API call for the next 250 pins
2:02
so we're going to use this one in our
2:05
scenarios as well so as I mentioned this
2:08
one makes an API call to Pinterest to
2:11
get all your pins and then we have a
2:14
router first the first route uh goes to
2:18
iterator that iterates to all these 250
2:23
items returned by
2:25
Pinterest and passes them to a filter
2:28
this filter what it does it checks if
2:32
the pin has less than 10 impressions in
2:36
the last 90 days and it also checks if
2:40
the pin uh is created later than 90 days
2:43
from now if these conditions are met
2:46
then we are deleting this pin from our
2:48
account because we don't want
2:50
underperforming pins on our account
2:53
because underperforming pins drags your
2:56
account down and if you delete them your
2:58
account will grow and you will see more
3:00
impressions more outbound clicks etc
3:04
uh on the second route of the router we
3:07
are passing this bookmark value
3:10
uh to another scenario that basically is
3:14
the same and this one once this one runs
3:18
first time you can forget about it
3:20
because the second scenario will run on
3:22
loop all the time until it goes through
3:24
all your uh pins um checks them and if
3:29
they met the conditions this um scenario
3:33
will delete them so here is a web hook
3:36
on the second scenario we basically we
3:39
copy this um URL and paste it here
3:45
uh in HTTP uh URL that we are
3:49
requesting we are sending a post and we
3:52
are sending the bookmark so and
3:55
basically the same is here the same uh
3:59
URL is here and it just loops this
4:02
scenario until there is no bookmark
4:05
value in Pinterest API response so let's
4:09
just run this one quickly so I so I can
4:12
show you how it works and explain you
4:15
some um some important things that you
4:19
need to know so let's click run once uh
4:22
it's going to get the first 250 pins
4:24
from your Pinterest account uh none of
4:29
these first 250 pass the filter yes I
4:33
have a pin here with less than 10 views
4:36
10 uh impressions but it's created on
4:40
4th of March so that's not 90 days later
4:45
than from now so it didn't pass the
4:47
filter but it sent the bookmark to our
4:50
second scenario which should be uh
4:54
actually uh running now as you can see
4:58
it's running now on loop um it's getting
5:02
again the next uh 250 the next and so on
5:06
so on so on at one point uh as as you
5:10
can see here we have hit some pins that
5:12
are underperforming so we are deleting
5:14
them and I'm going to show you uh
5:16
because now we should soon hit a
5:20
Pinterest rate limit but you don't have
5:23
to worry about it because make.com will
5:26
pause the scenario for 20
5:29
minutes and it's going to just resume
5:33
from where it left just keep it on keep
5:35
this second scenario on and let it run
5:38
until uh all your pins will be cleaned
5:42
and I recommend you to run this um every
5:46
month to see growth like you you see
5:50
here on my Pinterest account i didn't
5:54
like this flat spot that I hit so I was
5:56
looking for uh solutions how to um
6:01
increase the impressions so I found that
6:04
this works pretty good and also I didn't
6:07
change any other strategies my posting
6:09
times etc etc i just started to run this
6:13
automation so as you can see we hit the
6:17
rate
6:18
limit you have exceeded your rate limit
6:21
try again later and what happens now
6:24
make.com just uh pause the scenario for
6:27
20 minutes and it's going to
6:29
automatically continue running after 20
6:31
minutes until again it hits the rate
6:35
limit or until it goes through all your
6:38
pins in your account
6:41
so I'm going to quickly show you how you
6:43
can build this yourself i'm going to
6:46
have these two scenarios in the
6:48
description plus I'm going to show you
6:51
another scenario with which you will be
6:53
able to delete boards that have zero
6:55
pins inside them so we're going to go to
6:59
our scenarios we're going to create a
7:01
new scenario and this will be scenario
7:04
one for Pinterest um pin deletion
7:09
um just delete
7:17
this okay and we are starting with a
7:21
Pinterest
7:24
module pinterest module um make an API
7:29
call i'm going to just unlink
7:33
this move the timer here and delete this
7:38
one so if you go to Pinterest developers
7:41
what we need to do is we need to get um
7:44
all the pins from our account and to do
7:48
this we're going to just use uh list
7:52
pins with get
7:55
method
7:56
and we're just going to copy this
8:00
address go to our uh make.com new
8:04
scenario and uh we just you need to
8:07
create a connection to your Pinterest
8:09
account so I'm going to use this one i
8:12
don't know if I have something in there
8:14
or no so basically we paste what we
8:17
copied here in here and just delete the
8:20
Pinterest domain name because we need
8:23
only this V5 pins and we're going to use
8:26
method
8:28
get and that's it we just click save and
8:32
we click run once
8:36
and yeah we get the items from our
8:39
account so which one account okay so
8:42
this is the account so okay so we got
8:45
250 items no 25 items because um we need
8:50
to set up
8:53
um um we need to add cury strings so we
8:57
get the maximum amount of
9:00
uh pins that's 250 so we're going to
9:03
click on page size copy
9:06
um go to the scenario key is page size
9:10
value is
9:12
250 and we're going to click save and
9:15
we're going to click and we also need
9:17
one more thing we need pin metrics so we
9:21
get all the data from
9:25
uh from our pins like when it when it
9:28
was published uh how many impressions it
9:30
got all time last 90 days you can get
9:33
all this information in your make.com
9:36
account so you can work with this
9:37
information in your future um
9:40
automations so we're going to copy
9:41
pinmetrics
9:43
i'm going to again go here query swing
9:47
string add item paste pinmet matrix and
9:51
set this to true save and now because
9:55
last time we didn't have these pin
9:57
metrics uh we didn't we didn't get that
10:01
uh information like when uh like how
10:04
many impressions this pin gets we get
10:08
only the date when it's created
10:09
description and etc etc so we're going
10:13
to run it once again this time we should
10:16
get
10:17
um we we got 64 U because probably this
10:22
account has 64 pins only let's choose
10:26
another account that has more um we're
10:30
going to use the same get method um page
10:34
size is 250 so it returns us 250
10:38
uh pins uh and we're going to get the
10:41
pin matrix if we set this pin matrix to
10:44
true so let's run this one
10:47
once and this should return us 250
10:53
um items because this account does have
10:56
more than it has around 9k pins so it
11:00
gives us 250 pins with pinmetrics
11:07
uh when it's when it was published uh
11:10
the date as well so this is 29th of
11:15
April okay and also it gives us this
11:18
bookmark
11:20
value so after we have this we're going
11:23
to need a
11:25
rotor we're going to add a rotor and
11:28
then we have two routes so the first one
11:31
goes to iterator that's going to iterate
11:34
through all 250 pins that we receive
11:38
from API response so to get the iterator
11:41
we click flow control
11:44
iterator and add it here just delete
11:48
this
11:48
one and after iterator we need to select
11:53
uh sorry in the iterator we need to
11:55
select array to work with and it's going
11:58
to be the items array which contains all
12:01
our 250
12:03
um pins so we're going to click save and
12:06
then after iterator we're just going to
12:09
add a Pinterest module it's going to
12:10
delete the pin that's underperforming so
12:15
uh click here make sure you have the
12:17
same account as
12:19
here
12:21
um for some reasons it's taking some
12:24
time to load
12:26
do let's delete this one and add again
12:30
delete pin the pin we need pin ID so we
12:34
get the pin ID from our iterator module
12:38
and this is this ID we click save and
12:42
before we move any uh further we need to
12:45
set up a filter so we're going to have a
12:48
condition so uh here the condition is
12:53
[Music]
12:55
Um pinmetrics 90 days uh impressions so
13:00
the in the last 90 days we want we want
13:04
to target pins that have uh less than 10
13:07
impressions in the last 90 days so we're
13:10
going to choose this one and then we're
13:13
going to choose numeric operations less
13:16
than
13:17
10 and we need another rule it's we're
13:21
going to click on add hand and rule and
13:24
this one's going to check if the pin is
13:28
posted more than 90 days from now so uh
13:33
we need to check uh to select the
13:37
created at date and we're going to go
13:41
to time operations
13:46
sorry date date time
13:48
operations earlier than
13:51
um and we're going to select here we
13:55
have a like calendar icon we're going to
13:58
select that and we're going to select
14:00
add days and the first value is now and
14:06
then we're going to set minus
14:09
90 and that means from now on minus 90
14:13
days if it pass this uh value then the
14:17
pin is deleted okay save and at the
14:21
bottom we just add an HTTP module and
14:26
make a basic
14:28
uh make a request yeah I'm going to
14:31
delete this gray one
14:33
here and what we want to do here is we
14:37
want
14:40
to add
14:42
URL for so we can add URL we need to
14:46
create another
14:50
scenario create new scenario and this
14:55
will be very quickly so we will just add
14:59
one module here uh this module will be
15:03
web
15:03
hook and custom web hook we're going to
15:07
click on add and we're going to name
15:10
this um JS Automates uh
15:16
Pinterest
15:18
hack okay and now we get a URL this
15:21
we're going to copy this URL go back to
15:24
our new scenario and paste the URL here
15:27
in the HTTP module and we're going to
15:31
change the method to post because we are
15:33
sending the bookmark uh value to this
15:37
web hook so we're going to post and
15:41
we're going to change the body type to
15:43
raw content type to JSON and then we're
15:46
just going to type uh like this
15:52
uh
15:57
bookmark
15:58
and add here and for some reason
16:02
sometimes it doesn't work um and I just
16:06
use this replace emoji characters
16:10
because sometimes uh for some reason uh
16:14
the value of the bookmark is lost in the
16:17
way um while it's being sent to the web
16:21
hook uh module um this way it always
16:25
works i don't know why so we're going to
16:28
check the bookmark here from this
16:31
Pinterest API call module and here we're
16:34
just going to add an
16:37
um uh empty string value so click save
16:42
and let's just test this out let's uh
16:46
come
16:46
here uh click run once so as you can see
16:51
it's waiting for an input to the URL of
16:54
the web hook so we're going to click run
16:56
this module only and we're going to type
16:58
in here some random value and
17:03
uh what's wrong oh I forgot to cur curly
17:07
add curly bracket here at the end okay
17:10
and let's run this once and again random
17:13
value as you can see code
17:17
200 and why it's not receiving use
17:21
existing data yeah here it is so this
17:25
works fine and what we're going to do
17:27
now is we're going to click on shift and
17:30
select all these modules and click copy
17:35
and come here to our second scenario and
17:38
paste it here and just connect this web
17:43
hook module to our Pinterest module that
17:47
we copied just now what we need to do
17:50
here is we're going to click on
17:52
here add another query string and it's
17:55
going to be
17:57
um just so it all correct
18:01
so let's go here to
18:07
pagionation and we need to have this
18:09
bookmark uh query
18:15
string key and the value of this key
18:19
will be the response from our web
18:23
hook i'm going to click save
18:27
and save switch this
18:30
on
18:33
uh save and let's run this scenario to
18:37
see if it works oh yeah all is good
18:43
so it's getting now 250 items um yeah I
18:48
stopped it so let's rerun it again it's
18:51
getting 250 items from from Pinterest
18:55
um none of these pass the deletion
18:59
filter but it send the HTTP request to
19:02
this one and let's see if it's running
19:06
and yeah as you can see it's running on
19:08
the loop i've already cleared this
19:10
account so none of these pins will match
19:14
uh the deletion
19:16
um
19:18
thing i will now stop this let's return
19:22
to our
19:24
um scenario two that we at the beginning
19:27
of the video we we we pushed to run as
19:31
you can see
19:33
it's it's on um still waiting for the 20
19:38
minutes to pass so we're going to click
19:40
run once use existing data and it will
19:44
continue to run wherever it left off
19:49
so uh I'm going to show you one more uh
19:53
quick scenario that it's very useful
19:55
after this two this these both scenarios
20:00
are finished to
20:02
run uh we need a Pinterest module to
20:06
um list
20:09
boards um and uh let's do this one we're
20:13
going to set to limit to 10,000 i don't
20:16
know how many boards you have uh for one
20:19
account I had like 400 boards or
20:21
something but I usually put the limit
20:24
way up higher so we're going to list
20:27
boards this is going to return us all
20:30
the boards that we have on our Pinterest
20:32
account as you can see this one has 68
20:36
and then we just going to have an array
20:39
aggregator that's going to aggregate all
20:42
the boards in like
20:45
um one array uh that we can push into
20:50
iterator to delete the the boards that
20:53
have zero pins in them so what we need
20:56
to map out from this list boards uh
20:59
response is uh pin count and ID uh after
21:05
that we're going to add iterator module
21:08
we're going to choose the array from our
21:11
array aggregator
21:12
module and at the end we just going to
21:15
add delete
21:18
uh board module
21:23
uh we're going to add filter after
21:28
iterator that pin count
21:31
uh numeric
21:33
value is equal to
21:36
zero save and just make sure you have
21:41
the same Pinterest count for both of
21:44
your
21:47
modules uh here we select board from
21:50
iterator module its
21:53
ID here is the same account so let's run
21:56
this once i don't think there are going
21:59
to be any modules uh yeah uh sorry any
22:02
boards that have zero pins in this
22:05
account as you can see none of these
22:07
passed
22:08
uh passed to the filter that we set i'm
22:12
going to have this uh scenario also in
22:15
the description uh this is all for this
