Adding a Pinterest board to Notion has become a widespread method of incorporating visual inspiration and organization into your workspace. As a fan of both Pinterest and Notion, I have found this integration to be extremely beneficial in improving my productivity and creativity. In this article, I will walk you through the steps of how to add a Pinterest board to Notion and also share some personal tips and tricks that have helped me along the way.
Step 1: Generate Pinterest API Key
In order to connect Pinterest with Notion, you’ll need to generate an API key from Pinterest. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to the Pinterest Developers website and sign in with your Pinterest account.
- Create a new app and fill in the required information.
- Once your app is created, you’ll be provided with an API key. Copy this key as you’ll need it later.
Step 2: Install Notion Web Clipper
Before we proceed, make sure you have the Notion Web Clipper extension installed in your web browser. This extension allows you to easily save web pages and content to your Notion workspace.
Step 3: Create a New Page in Notion
In Notion, create a new page where you want to add your Pinterest board. Give it a meaningful title that reflects the content you’ll be saving from Pinterest.
Step 4: Generate Pinterest Board RSS Feed URL
Now, go to Pinterest and open the board you want to add to Notion. Copy the URL of the board. Next, replace the word “pinterest” in the URL with “feed”. This will generate the RSS feed URL for your Pinterest board.
Example: If your Pinterest board URL is "https://www.pinterest.com/example/board", the RSS feed URL will be "https://www.feed.com/example/board".
Step 5: Add RSS Feed to Notion
Go back to Notion and open the page where you want to add your Pinterest board. Click on the “Add a block” button and search for the “RSS Feed” block. Select it and a new block will appear.
Click on the “Configure RSS” button and paste the RSS feed URL you generated in the previous step. Click “Done” and Notion will fetch the content from your Pinterest board.
Step 6: Customize Your Pinterest Board in Notion
Once the RSS feed is added, you’ll see a list of the latest pins from your Pinterest board. You can customize the appearance and layout of your board by adjusting the block settings in Notion.
For example, you can change the view to grid or list, adjust the size of the images, or add additional text and comments to each pin.
Step 7: Stay Updated with New Pins
The best part about adding your Pinterest board to Notion is that it automatically syncs with the latest pins. This means that whenever you save a new pin to your Pinterest board, it will instantly appear in your Notion workspace.
Conclusion
By adding a Pinterest board to Notion, you can create a visually appealing and easily accessible source of inspiration within your workspace. Whether you’re a designer, blogger, or simply someone who enjoys collecting ideas, this integration can help you stay organized and inspired.
