## Troubleshooting

### Pinterest Error: "You need to verify your Pinterest account"

Contouron verifies Pinterest accounts automatically. Once your account reaches 100+ monthly views, reconnect it in Contouron and it verifies automatically. There is no manual step, no manual override, and no need to message the team.

The 100 monthly views threshold is the only unlock criterion. Account age, pin count, board activity, and website verification do not unlock publishing on their own. Views from ads or auto-shared content do not always register as organic monthly views on your Pinterest profile.

Accounts under 100 monthly views must warm up first:

1. Post 1 pin per day manually for 1-2 weeks.
2. Increase to 2-3 pins per day.
3. Once your account reaches 100+ monthly views, reconnect it in Contouron.
4. Contouron verifies the account automatically when you reconnect.

Warming up first prevents Pinterest from shadowbanning your account for using automation too soon.

### Pinterest Error: "Could not create Pinterest pin: You are not permitted to access that resource"

This error directly comes from Pinterest. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your Pinterest connection and make sure you grant Contouron all necessary permissions.

### Pinterest Error: "Sorry! This site doesn't allow you to save Pins"

This error comes from Pinterest, not Contouron. Pinterest blocked the destination link in your pin. Two common causes:

1. The destination website opted out of being pinned.
2. Pinterest's blocklist flagged your URL, often a false positive.

To work around it, add a query parameter to your link so Pinterest reads it as a new URL:

1. Open the link you are pinning.
2. Append a parameter to the end of the URL, for example `?ref=pin` or `?v=111`.
3. Use the modified link in your pin and publish again.

Pinterest reads the new URL as unflagged and allows the pin.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.contouron.com/platforms/bluesky/troubleshooting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
