The app is built for Warm by Design-owned Pinterest activity: planning, publishing preparation, Board management, and reporting for the brand's 2700K lighting content.

Authenticates the authorized Warm by Design business account through Pinterest OAuth.

Creates and updates Boards selected by authorized Warm by Design operators.

4

Pin workflows

Prepares approved Pin workflows using Warm by Design imagery, source URLs, titles, descriptions, and alt text.

Publishing controls

Warm by Design reviews each publishing action before it is sent to Pinterest. The app is designed for owned brand content, not automated engagement.

A Warm by Design operator chooses the Board, image, title, description, source URL, alt text, and schedule.
Content must be related to Warm by Design products, rooms, lighting guidance, or brand education.
Publishing workflows are reviewed before API actions are completed.

What the app does not do

Does not collect Pinterest usernames, passwords, session cookies, or login credentials.
Does not scrape Pinterest or use automated extraction outside the Pinterest API.
Does not sell, share, or transfer Pinterest API data to third parties.
Does not auto-follow, auto-comment, message users, incentivize engagement, or publish unrelated content.

OAuth flow

The authorized user approves the app on Pinterest. The app receives an authorization code through the registered redirect URI, exchanges it for an OAuth access token, and then uses approved Pinterest API scopes for Warm by Design account operations.
