It is so time consuming to post each design to Pinterest or other social media platforms one at a time and you are only allowed but so many at a time that make it a pain in the behind taking time to go back and post later. I would love to see it when we can choose to post all our designs to Pinterest or other social media platforms by simply turning on a toggle switch for that site or sites at the same time and as you create it automatically post to that site. Just set the toggle button and forget it all is done for you. You have a section to post to these sites already the problem is you have to do one at a time manually that is a problem big time. I already take hours just creating and I find having to post and keep up with it takes away from why I am here on Zazzle in the first place to design the hours I need to think and create are gone not to mention I cannot do this 24 hours a day I do have a life too. I think it would benefit Zazzle the artists and designers for posting to sites to be automatic to sites of the artists and designers' choice (toggle switch automatic upload to sites). Would make more time to actually make better designs and have a life too.

It sounds like you might be unaware that websites noticing floods of traffic from the same source will very often shadow ban that content. If Zazzle pins every new product to Pinterest the minute it is published, and then NO ONE EVER SEES THE PINS, I am not sure how that helps any of us.

Zazzle could work with Pinterest and other sites to bypass this problem. An agreement between Zazzle and Pinterest along with other sites. Zazzle is a multi-Millon dollar company it would be a benefit for all concerned.

I been on other sites you can do this on. Don't want to say the sites out of respect for Zazzle.

IFTT worked for awhile but the thumbnail produced was so small and pixelated I could hardly use it and I tried all sorts of code to fix the issue. I got it working on Tumblr and Twitter/X, but like I said the image was too small and the links didn't work on tumblr. Later IFTT removed the use of Twitter feeds for non paying accounts. and since the links didn't work on Tumblr and no guarantee of success I gave up the fight.
If you want to try IFTTT then be prepared to pay for good results.
There was the use of RSS feed straight to Pinterest from Etsy, that worked for a while too but Pinterest banned it.
It used to be possible to add a feed to facebook through a 3rd party..... awwww so many of these features have been removed.
Hey ho.

I wish we could have the Adobe product creator plug-in back too. 🙄

I wonder why Pinterest banned Auto posting you would think they would benefit from it. That is too bad would be really nice to have the ability to upload directly.  It would be nice to have Adobe product creator plug-in. Keeping my fingers crossed some why Zazzle could work something out with Pinterest and other sites would be so nice to have auto upload. I would love just to set an auto button just to upload my posting automatically set it and forget it. Thanks for the reply lots of information I did not know.

@Deb1 Maybe Pinterest decided they did not want a spammy looking site filled with a lot of junk.

That makes no sense at all anyone can post on Pinterest no matter what you have to remember not everyone has the same taste. Different people like different designs and art not everyone is a cookie cutter person what a boring world if they were. Have a blessed day.
