## Post To Pinterest

### What it is
Post to Pinterest using Ayrshare

### How it works
<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->
This block uses Ayrshare's API to publish pins to Pinterest boards. It supports image pins, video pins (with required thumbnails), and carousel pins (up to 5 images), with customizable titles, descriptions, destination links, and private notes.

The block connects to Pinterest's API through Ayrshare, allowing you to specify target boards, add alt text for accessibility, and configure per-image carousel options including individual titles, links, and descriptions. Pins can be scheduled for future publishing.
