Connect

Pinterest Ads

Pinterest Ads connects through the Pinterest v5 Ads API. You authorize Modiva against your ad account to run campaigns and read board-level reporting.

Before you start

A Pinterest business account with an ad account.
Advertiser access to that ad account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Modiva
Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.
The Modiva dashboard — your home for connections, posts and analytics.
2
Open Connections → New connection
In the left sidebar choose Connections, then click New connection. You'll see the full catalogue of platforms grouped by category (Social and Ads).
The connection picker. Use the search box or category filter to find your platform.
3
Select Pinterest Ads
Click the Pinterest Ads card. Modiva redirects you to Pinterest Ads's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on Pinterest Ads, never on Modiva.
Click Connect on the Pinterest Ads card to start the secure OAuth flow.
4
Authorize Modiva on Pinterest Ads
Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.
Pinterest Ads's consent screen. Approve the requested scopes to continue.
5
You're connected
Pinterest Ads now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.
A healthy connection shows a green dot and the connected account name.

Permissions Modiva requests

When you connect Pinterest Ads, Modiva asks only for the access it needs to run the tools you use. You can revoke it any time from Pinterest Ads or by disconnecting in Modiva.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Where is my Pinterest Ads password stored?

Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.

My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?

Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.

How do I disconnect?

Open Connections, click the Pinterest Ads row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside Pinterest Ads's own app settings.
