🚀 3-Step Method

Step 1 — Collect Pinners Only

Open the SortPin panel → Collect tab → Smart Collect, and set the toggles:

Collection	Setting	Why
👥 Pinners Collection	✅ On	This is the lead data you need
📌 Pins Collection	❌ Off	Not needed for lead building
📁 Boards Collection	❌ Off	Not needed for lead building

⚡ This step matters more than people expect. Collecting pins and boards you'll never use bloats the local database and makes the dashboard slow to query. Pinners-only keeps it fast. See why.

The three Smart Collect switches — leave only the one your task needs turned on

Now open a Pinterest search results page or board in your niche and let the page scroll. You can scroll manually, or use the Scroll Button (SortPin panel → General tab) to automate it.

• Collection happens in the background — you don't start a separate job

• ☕ Go grab a coffee while it runs

Step 2 — Open the SortPin Pinners Tab

Once collection is done, click the SortPin icon in the middle-left of your screen → click 🏠 home → select Pinners.

Step 3 — Open the Lead tab and Export CSV

The All Pinners dashboard splits collected pinners into three tabs:

Tab	Contains
📋 All	Every pinner collected
💲 Partner	Pinners identified as business or partner accounts
👥 Lead	⭐ Pinners with contactable details — this is your list

Click the Lead tab, then Export CSV.

All Pinners dashboard — the Lead tab is already filtered to pinners with contactable details

🎯 Don't export from "All". The Lead tab is already filtered to pinners with usable contact data. Exporting everything gives you a much larger file that's mostly unusable rows.

The downloaded file contains:

• 📧 Active Pinterest email addresses

• 👤 Pinner names

• 🔗 Profile links

• 🎯 All filtered to your niche

✅ Done! Use this list for your email marketing campaigns.

⚡ Adjusting Collection Speed

The speed depends on how fast Pinterest loads detailed pin info — which depends on your internet connection.

Recommendations:

Set the delay in the SortPin panel → General tab → Scroll Button → Delay (seconds).

Internet Speed	Recommended Delay
🟢 Fast (50+ Mbps)	10 seconds
🟡 Average (10-50 Mbps)	12 seconds ⭐
🔴 Slow (< 10 Mbps)	15-20 seconds

⚠️ Going much lower risks rate limiting. Pinner details load progressively, so too short a delay means SortPin captures incomplete records — you get more rows with less usable data.
