[400] {“code”:1,“message”:“Sorry! This site doesn’t allow you to save Pins.”} what in the holy smolly?! i have literally been trying to get this resolved for 3 weeks!
I see people who have resolved this issues, but I cannot find action steps to guide me out of this dilemma *Sigh Please help!!
Welcome to the Make community!
That’s a Pinterest enforcement. The message says “This site doesn’t allow you to save Pins.”, so you simply can’t save pins for that site you are trying to pin, because that site has indicated that they do not want to be pinned.
Handle errors so scenarios don’t stop.
You might want to add some error handling to your modules to handle exceptions, so the failing module(s) can automatically be retried or ignored. By handling any errors by adding a “Error handler” to the module, the scenario won’t throw an error and get turned off.
Error directives can only be added to an error handler route.
1. Right click and select “Add error handler”
2. Error handlers will appear
For more information on error handling, see:

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you so much for your reply, I am currently learning in Make academy while simultaneously starting on my automation. The site I’m attempting to pin is Pintrest. I think i have to upgrade from Trail access to standard access. Did you have to upgrade?
Are you trying to pin an existing pin? I don’t think that’s possible, even if you manually try to pin it via the website.
To test this out, go to the Pinterest Pin Builder, and insert a Pinterest URL like https://www.pinterest.com/pin/140174607146687697
The error message you’ll see is:
To save an idea you find on Pinterest, use the Save button you find on each Pin
You can save an existing pin to your profile or board instead.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
