Pinterest
Pinterest is configured as an attribution-only integration in OneView. OneView tracks Pinterest touchpoints for attribution and includes them in merit-based routing decisions, but does not send conversion data back to Pinterest's API.
No conversion data is sent back to Pinterest. If you need conversion data sent to Pinterest for campaign optimization, use Pinterest's native tracking or request a full Conversion API integration.

Merit-Based Routing

When Pinterest touchpoints overlap with Conversion API platforms (like Google Ads or Meta), merit-based routing determines which platform receives the conversion based on your attribution model and conversion merit. If Pinterest wins attribution, the conversion is recorded in OneView but not sent anywhere.

Setup

Configure UTM parameters in your Pinterest campaigns with utm_source identifying the platform. OneView automatically captures UTM parameters from all traffic sources—no additional configuration needed.
When overlapping conversions occur, merit-based routing evaluates all touchpoints, including attribution-only platforms:
  1. OneView collects touchpoints from all sources (Pinterest via UTM, Conversion API platforms via click identifiers)
  2. Your attribution model determines which touchpoint gets credit
  3. If the winner is a Conversion API platform (e.g., Google Ads, Meta), OneView sends the conversion to that platform's API
  4. If the winner is attribution-only (e.g., Pinterest), the conversion is recorded in OneView but not sent anywhere
  5. Pinterest remains visible in reports showing it was part of the customer journey

Troubleshooting

Revoking access will stop OneView from sending conversions to your Pinterest account.
You need to revoke access to your Pinterest data on both ends:
  1. From OneView: Navigate to Ad Accounts settings and disconnect your Pinterest account.
  2. From Pinterest: Use your dashboard at (https://pinterest.com/settings/security) and remove OneView Platform from your account.
