# Add Pinterest as a source

Add Pinterest as a source and collect posts to your Flows

> In order to avoid duplicates in the system, we recommend only connecting a source to your Collection Flow, commonly named "Master Flow", and then distributing the posts to other Flows.

Once [Pinterest is connected to your account](https://kb.getflowbox.com/en/article/connect-your-pinterest-account), you can add Pinterest as a source to your Flows by following these steps:

-   Go to 'Visual Marketing' > 'Flows'.

-   Click on ‘Sources’ directly from the Flows page or use the top-right button within your Collection Flow.

-   Apopup box will open.

-   Click on "Add Source".

-   Select "Pinterest" and your source type:

-   *'Profile'* will collect your own content.

-   *'Board'* will collect content from one of your [Boards](https://www.google.com/search?q=pinterest+boards&rlz=1C5CHFA_enNL908NL908&oq=pinterest+boards&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i457j0l2j69i59j69i60l3.4438j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) on Pinterest. For this type you need to copy **the exact board name** for it to work.

-   Add the value for that type of source.

-   Optional: Toggle on 'Require approval' to collect directly on the "Approved" tab all the content from this source.

-   Click "Add".

From now on, all new Pinterest content related to this source will appear in the Inbox of this Collection Flow and can easily be approved and used for your Flows.
