One brief, a full Pinterest plan
Hermes breaks a goal into steps on its own: draft the pins, upload media, schedule each one and report back with what it queued for Pinterest.
PinterestAutomate Pinterest with Hermes
Hand Hermes one brief and it plans the whole week: drafting Pinterest pins, scheduling them at the right times and reporting back when the queue is full.
Quick start
Install the CLI where Hermes executes commands, then hand over the Pinterest plan in plain language.
Terminal
npm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # A task for Hermes:# "Plan next week on Pinterest: draft five# pins, schedule them and list# what you queued"What Hermes can run on Pinterest
Windows that fit Pinterest
Tell Hermes when your followers are most active and it schedules pins into that window on Pinterest, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so Pinterest pins arrive with their media in place instead of a bare link.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask Hermes for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your followers on Pinterest until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Pinterest
Hermes calls postqueen to list your connected boards and sees what Pinterest supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Hermes
Give it the brief. The agent writes Pinterest-shaped pins and proposes publish times that match when your followers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Hermes can pull the results after.
What Pinterest allows
Hermes reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Hermes connect Pinterest to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where Hermes runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Pinterest pins reliably.
Can Hermes schedule Pinterest pins at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the pins it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.
Will Hermes publish to Pinterest on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the pins wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Pinterest and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Hermes can turn the same brief into Pinterest pins plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does Hermes access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
Do I need a Pinterest business account?
postqueen publishes through the official Pinterest API. A business account is free to set up and is the recommended way to run it, since it also unlocks Pinterest's own analytics for your profile.
When is the best time to pin?
Pins are evergreen: they resurface through search and recommendations for weeks or months, so regularity matters more than the exact hour. Schedule a consistent flow of pins and let compounding discovery do the rest.
