Step-by-step guide
How to connect Pinterest to Slack
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Pinterest account
- An active Slack account with permission to install apps
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Pinterest to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Pinterest
Click "Add Connection" and select Pinterest from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Pinterest's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your orders, products, and customer data. You choose which store data the integration can read.
- Step 03
Authenticate Slack
Same process for Slack. Click "Add Connection," select Slack, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new order placed in pinterest or new message received in slack. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in slack. Map the data fields between Pinterest and Slack so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Pinterest and Slack. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Pinterest to Slack?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Pinterest and Slack via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing commerce events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Pinterest and Slack?
Popular automations include: post new Pinterest orders to Slack channels, alert Slack when high-value orders arrive, notify Slack on Pinterest refund requests, and share daily Pinterest sales summaries in Slack. Filters let you route different order types to specific channels.
Is the Pinterest and Slack integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Pinterest-to-Slack workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Pinterest data secure when connected to Slack?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Pinterest or Slack passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your commerce data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Pinterest and Slack?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Pinterest or Slack. For example, create a workflow where Pinterest events update Slack, and a separate one where Slack changes sync back to Pinterest. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Pinterest and Slack?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Pinterest and Slack, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
