When you're setting up your first workflow with Pinterest, you'll need to create a Connection. Click on **Connect with Pinterest** to start the process.

You may be asked to log in to your Pinterest account if not already logged in. Once logged in, you will be prompted with a screen to give MESA access to your Pinterest account.

Then, click on the **Give access** button.

Afterwards, you will be redirected back to MESA. You can re-use the newly created connection and select it for your future workflows! MESA is now connected with Pinterest!

### I don't see my Pinterest workflow activating when a board or pin is created? <a href="#trigger" id="trigger"></a>

MESA workflows that contain **Pinterest Board Created** or **Pin Created** [Trigger](https://docs.getmesa.com/workflow-builder/triggers) will run on a polling system. Meaning, on every hour or whatever the selected frequency is selected in your MESA workflow, MESA will look for any recent activity in Pinterest. As a result, you may not see immediate activity in your MESA workflow until the frequency hits.

You can find the polling system (Schedule) under the **More options**. You can keep the default frequency or adjust it.

Once the frequency hits, MESA will process every single task that has accrued within the previous timeframe.
