If you want to publish moments created with GrowthBooster on your Pinterest account, you need to set up an integration with Zapier.
First of all, go to https://zapier.com/ and create an account (if you don’t have one). You will need a Premium account to work with webhooks and looping.
Create a new zap: click on “Create zap.”
Set the name of your zap, then type “Webhook” in the search input below the “App event” and click on the “Webhooks by Zapier” in the search results list.
Select “Catch Raw Hook” in the “Event” dropdown and click the “Continue” button.
Copy the “webhook URL”, then go to GrowthBooster web-application, choose your business, proceed to the “Settings” page, paste the URL into the “Zapier webhook” field, and click the “Update” button.
Create a new moment in the GrowthBooster for your business and approve it for publishing.
Go back to Zapier and click on the “Test trigger” button.
It may say something like “We couldn't find a request”, which is OK, because GrowthBooster sends moments to the webhook every 10 minutes. Please wait for 10 minutes and click the “Test trigger” button again.
You should see the “We found a request!” message. Click the “Continue” button below.
You will see the “Action” form. Type in “Code” in the “App event” field and select “Code by Zapier” in the search results below.
Click in the “Event” field and select “Run Javascript” in the dropdown below.
Click on the “Set up action” button.
Type “body” into the “Input Data” field, click in the “Enter text or insert data…” field, and select “Raw Body” in the dropdown.
Copy script below and paste it into the “Code” field:
output = JSON.parse(inputData.body).map((moment) => {
return {
description: moment.description,
formattedAddress: moment.from_office ? moment.business.name +' office': moment.formatted_address,
customerName: moment.customer || 'Anonymous customer',
employeeName: moment.employee?.name || moment.business.name,
mainImage: moment.images.length ? moment.images[0].full_url : 'no image',
categoryName: moment.category?.title || 'Uncategorized'
}
})
You will get something like this. Click the “Continue” button.
Click the “Test action” button.

Type “Media” in the “Values to Loop” field, click in the “Enter text or insert data…” field, select “Run Javascript in Code by Zapier”, and the “Show all options” button.
Select the “Main image” option from the dropdown.

Click in the "Title" field and select "Create Loop From Line Items in Looping by Zapier", then "Description".
We leave the "Description" field blank, but you can customize it according to your own tastes, add call to action, for example. When you are done click the "Continue" button.
Click the "Test action" button. (Warning: your moment will be published in your Pinterest account!).
If everything went smoothly you will see “A Tweet was sent to Twitter…” message. Click the “Publish Zap” button below.
Click the “Publish & Turn On” button.
