I don’t see my Pinterest workflow activating when a board or pin is created?

Section titled “I don’t see my Pinterest workflow activating when a board or pin is created?”

MESA workflows that contain Pinterest Board Created or Pin Created Trigger 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.
