Seven rows. Where your work actually goes.
| Row | Control |
|---|---|
| INSTAGRAM · CONNECT | Unfolds a connect card. |
| INSTAGRAM · PERMISSIONS | Read-only. "Not connected yet" or "Access granted". |
| PINTEREST · CONNECT | Unfolds the same connect card. |
| PINTEREST · PERMISSIONS | Read-only. Same two readings. |
| DEFAULT BOARD | Unfolds a picker of your real Pinterest boards. |
| DEFAULT DESTINATION URL | Text. The click-through link attached to every pin. |
| BOARD SUGGESTIONS | Unfolds an editable list of board ideas. |
Both connect cards are built the same way, and both have exactly one button. When you're disconnected it reads Connect Instagram or Connect Pinterest. When you're connected it reads Disconnect. No Reconnect button, no Test button, no toggle on either card. Above the button is a status pill, and below it a list of the permissions that platform has granted us.
Connected, Pinterest shows boards:read, pins:read and pins:write. Instagram
shows instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_content_publish,
pages_read_engagement and business_management.
Connect Pinterest opens Pinterest in your browser and returns through a local callback. Once it lands, we also mirror the token to our server so scheduled pins can fire while your Mac is shut.
Connect Instagram opens a real Meta login, minted by our server and bound to your
user and workspace, and comes back through a lesarchives:// link.
DEFAULT BOARD needs Pinterest connected first. Until then the panel says so and shows your current board name if you have one. Once connected, press Load boards and pick from a dropdown of your real boards. ⟳ Refresh boards pulls the list again.
BOARD SUGGESTIONS starts with three ideas based on your catalog, Coastal Weddings, Black Tie, and European Honeymoons. Add your own with the field underneath, remove one with its ×. If Pinterest is connected, clicking a chip creates that board on Pinterest and turns the chip green. If it's the first board you've made, it becomes your default.
