This destination was built by the Pinterest team. For any inquiries or update requests, please contact them directly at https://help.pinterest.com/en/contact.

Prerequisites

  • The user would need to authenticate with a Pinterest account which has access to the advertiser account they want to add an audience to. Details on sharing advertiser accounts can be found here. Specifically, the user would need the “audience” access levels.
  • Details on customer list identity formats can be found here.

Supported identities

The Pinterest Customer List destination supports the activation of identities described in the table below. Learn more about identities.

In the mapping step of the destination activation workflow, map the desired identities to the target field pinterest_audience. Identities are distinguished and resolved upon data ingestion into Pinterest.

Target Identity Description Considerations
GAID Google Advertising ID Map the GAID source identity namespace to the target identity field pinterest_audience. Identities are distinguished and resolved upon data ingestion into Pinterest.
IDFA Apple ID for Advertisers Map the IDFA source identity namespace to the target identity field pinterest_audience. Identities are distinguished and resolved upon data ingestion into Pinterest.
EMAIL Email addresses (clear text or hashed with the SHA256 algorithm) Both plain text and SHA256 hashed email addresses are supported by Adobe Experience Platform.
Map the Email or Email_LC_SHA256 source identity namespace to the target identity field pinterest_audience.
