Let's Take This to the Inbox
Sign up for our news, resources and updates. The inbox is our favorite place after all. We’ll make sure it’s worth it. (You can unsubscribe at any time, but you probably already knew that.)
(Getting a lot of questions on this recently, so I thought I would throw up a quick blog post to direct people to.)
If you want to test out having users “Pin” content from your email on Pinterest, here is how to build the url that will sit behind the “Pin it” button:
We’ll create a Pin of my guitar as an example. First, grab the url you would like the Pin to go when clicked:
http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Firebird/Gibson-USA/Firebird-V-20
Next you’ll need the url of the hosted image you would like Pinned:
http://www2.gibson.com/Images/Products/Electric-Guitars/Designer/Gibson-USA/Firebird-V/Gallery-Images/DSF10VSCH1-Finish-Shot-jpg.aspx
And Finally, you’ll need the description you want to go on your pin:
Gibson Firebird
And Viola! You have your link.

Here is the link in action. Pin me.
Happy Pinning!
