Note that a Pinterest link that you add to your Instagram bio in this way will be opened in the browser. This means a user will not be logged in when viewing your profile page. They can't subscribe to you and save your Pins. Below you can read how to direct users to view your profile being logged in.
Use a link in bio page to share multiple links in your Instagram bio. You can add buttons to your Pinterest profile, boards, and place Pin widgets on it. You can also add links to other social networks.

- Tap Save changes.
Now we can move on to the main thing, let's add links to Pinterest and other social networks so that Instagram users can easily follow them. Taplink provides buttons with brand colors and logos for this.
When an Instagram user taps a Pinterest or other social network link, they get to your profile page in the app. They are already logged in there, and thus, they can immediately subscribe to you, comment and save Pins.
Add social media links to your page:
- Tap Add block.
- Select Social networks.
- Select Pinterest.
- Enter your username in the Pinterest profile field. You can see it on your profile page, it has a "@" before it, and write it manually. Or you can copy it from the public profile settings and paste it into the field.
- Tap Add new item to add links to other social networks. You will need to select a social network and enter your username. For example, we added a TikTok link and YouTube profile link.
- Tap Save changes.
Here's what links look like on the page in edit mode:
The page allows linking from Pinterest to Instagram as well as from any other social profile or website. For example, they can lead to a Pinterest board with a new collection, items on sale, etc. They may also lead to other websites, such as your brand site.
Add a link to a Pinterest board:
- Tap Add block.
- Select Link.
- Specify the text to be displayed on the button.
- Optionally, you can enter additional text.
- Paste the link to a Pinterest board in the Website field.
- Tap Save changes.
You can add as many links as you want, we added one more as an example. Here's how they look on the page in edit mode:
Pins can be added to your page as widgets. They allow Instagram users to immediately see your photos and videos from Pinterest. This is how they look:
Pin widgets help grow your Pinterest account because they:
- are clickable. When tapping a widget, Instagram users are taken to the Pin page in the app. This means that they view it logged in, and thus, they can immediately like it or leave a reaction.
- have the Save button. By tapping the button, Instagram users also get to a Pinterest page in the app. There they see the list of their boards and only need to choose where to save the Pin.
- can be added in any number. Add widgets of different Pins to interest more Instagram users in your Pinterest profile.
Follow the steps below to add a Pin widget.
First of all, copy a Pin’s code. This can only be done in a computer browser. Go to a Pin page, and then:
- Click the three dots.
- Click Get Pin embed code.
03. Select the text and right-click.
04. Choose Copy.
The Pinterest code you’ve got should be added to your page to let Instagram users see the widget. It is now in the clipboard of the computer, choose a more convenient option for you:
- Login to your Taplink account from your computer.
- Save the code to where you can access it from your phone. For example, Google notes. Copy the code from there to your phone and continue working from it.
Whatever method you choose, follow the steps below. We are adding the code from a computer to show an example. But if you choose a phone, you will find all the same buttons.
01. Click Add block.
02. Select HTML code.
03. Paste the code into the HTML field.
