How to Embed a Pinterest Board in Notion

Bringing your Pinterest boards directly into your Notion workspace can completely change how you organize ideas, plan projects, and manage content. This guide will walk you through exactly how to embed a Pinterest board in Notion using two different methods, helping you create a seamless workflow between your visual inspiration and your project management hub.

Why Combine Pinterest and Notion? A Powerhouse for Creatives

At first glance, Pinterest and Notion might seem like they serve completely different purposes. Pinterest is a sea of visual discovery - a digital corkboard for everything that inspires you. Notion is a structured, minimalist do-everything workspace for planning, writing, and organizing. When you bring them together, you get the best of both worlds: visual context right alongside your actionable plans.

Imagine being able to view an entire mood board for a branding project right next to your task list, creative brief, and timelines. Or, if you're a social media manager, imagine having your "Approved Content Pins" board embedded directly within your content calendar for the month. This simple integration bridges the gap between brainstorming and execution. It keeps your creative vision front and center, reduces the need to constantly switch tabs, and ensures your team is always aligned with the visual direction of a project.

Who This Workflow is For:

• Social Media Managers &, Marketers: Centralize campaign mood boards, user-generated content collections, and content inspiration directly within your client dashboards or campaign planning pages.
• Content Creators &, Bloggers: Plan your video or blog post aesthetics by embedding a dedicated Pinterest board next to your content outlines and scripts.
• Graphic Designers &, Artists: Keep your inspiration boards for logos, illustrations, or website designs right beside your project briefs and client feedback in Notion.
• Small Business Owners: Organize product ideas, packaging concepts, and brand aesthetics in one coherent and easily accessible Notion document that you can share with your team or collaborators.

Method 1: The Quick and Simple Way (Pasting a Link)

Notion's core functionality makes embedding simple content from around the web incredibly straightforward. If you need to drop a Pinterest board into your workspace in a matter of seconds, this is the method for you. It isn’t the most visually stunning option, but it gets the job done with zero fuss.

Here’s how to do it, step-by-step.

Step 1: Grab Your Pinterest Board URL

First, you need the unique web address for the Pinterest board you want to embed. This is a simple copy-and-paste job.

1. Navigate to Pinterest.com in your web browser.
2. Go to your profile and click on the specific board you want to embed in Notion.
3. Once the board is open, look at the address bar at the very top of your browser. Highlight the entire URL (it should look something like https://www.pinterest.com/username/board-name/) and copy it to your clipboard. You can do this by right-clicking and selecting "Copy" or using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+C on Windows or Cmd+C on Mac).

It's a small but important detail: make sure you grab the URL for the board itself, not an individual Pin within the board.

Step 2: Paste the Link into Notion

Now, head over to your Notion workspace and open the page where you want the Pinterest board to appear.

1. Find a blank line on your Notion page where you'd like the embed to live.
2. Simply paste the URL you just copied from Pinterest. Use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V).
3. As soon as you paste the link, a small menu will pop up with three options: Dismiss, Create bookmark, and Create embed.

Step 3: Select "Create embed"

From the menu that appears, click on "Create embed." Notion will take a moment to process the link, and then it will generate a simple, preview-style embed of your Pinterest board.

This embedded block will show the board's cover image, its title, a short description, and a link back to Pinterest. While it's not a fully interactive, scrollable version of your board, it serves as a great visual bookmark. Viewers can see what the board is about at a glance and click on it to open the full board on Pinterest.

You can also resize this block by hovering over its edges and dragging the black bars that appear, just like you would with images or other blocks in Notion.

Method 2: For a Fully Functional &, Beautiful Display (Using the Pinterest Widget Builder)

If you want more than just a preview - if you want a live, scrollable version of your board right inside your Notion page - then using Pinterest’s official Widget Builder is the way to go. This method takes a couple of extra steps but provides a much richer, more professional result. It transforms a static link into a dynamic piece of content that feels natively integrated into your workspace.

Let's walk through the process.

Step 1: Go to the Pinterest Widget Builder

Pinterest provides a free tool for this exact purpose. You don't need to be a developer to use it whatsoever.

1. Open a new browser tab and search for "Pinterest Widget Builder," or navigate directly to the correct page on the Pinterest for Developers site.
2. You'll see options to create a widget for a Pin, a Profile, or a Board.

Step 2: Select the "Board" Widget Type

On the builder page, make sure the Board option is selected. This tells the tool you want to create a widget specifically for displaying an entire Pinterest board, not just a single Pin or your entire profile.

Step 3: Paste Your Pinterest Board URL

Just like in the first method, head back to your Pinterest board and copy its URL from your browser's address bar. Then, return to the Widget Builder page and paste this URL into the field labeled "Pinterest board URL." As soon as you paste it, you will see a live preview of what your widget will look like on the right side of the screen.

Step 4: Customize the Appearance (Optional but Recommended)

Here’s where this method really shines. The Widget Builder gives you a few simple options to control how your embedded board will look and behave.

• Size: You can choose pre-set sizes like "Small," "Medium," or "Large." But for full control inside Notion, select "Create your own". This allows you to define the exact dimensions.
• Image Width (pixels): This controls how wide each pin's thumbnail image will be inside the grid. A smaller number means more pins will fit in one row.
• Board Height (pixels): This determines the vertical height of the entire embed block. You can set this to be taller or shorter depending on your Notion page layout.
• Board Width (pixels): This sets the overall width of the embed block.

As you adjust these settings, the preview will update in real-time. For Notion, setting a width between 400px and 800px is usually a good starting point, but feel free to experiment to see what fits your page layout best.

Step 5: Copy the Generated HTML Code

Once you are happy with the preview, scroll down below the customization options. You'll see a box containing a few lines of code. This is the HTML embed code snippet that will bring your widget to life inside Notion.

Click inside the box to highlight all the code, and then copy it to your clipboard (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C).

Step 6: Embed the Code Block in Notion

Now for the final step. Go back to your Notion page.

1. On a new line, type /embed and press Enter. This will open up Notion’s embed block.
2. In the input field that appears in the embed block, paste the HTML code you just copied from the Pinterest Widget Builder.
3. Click the "Embed link" button.

After a moment, your beautiful, fully scrollable Pinterest board will appear right there on your page! You can scroll through all the pins on your board without ever leaving your Notion workspace. Just like the simpler embed, you can also drag the borders of the block to resize it or place it into columns next to other content.

Final Thoughts

Embedding a Pinterest board into Notion is a straightforward way to merge your visual brainstorming with your structured planning. Whether you use the quick link-pasting method for a simple reference or the Pinterest Widget Builder for a dynamic, interactive display, integrating these two platforms can streamline how you manage creative projects from start to finish.

Bringing all your visual assets and planning into one place is a huge time-saver. As we handle our own social media marketing, we rely on having our inspiration centralized in Notion, but when it's time to actually get that content out into the world, the real challenge begins. That's why we built Postbase - to provide a clean, modern hub for scheduling everything from TikToks to Instagram Reels to Pinterest Pins itself, ensuring our content strategy moves smoothly from the planning phase to publishing without the usual chaos.
