Pinterest

Pinterest tells you why a pin or automation stopped

When a Pinterest automation pauses, it now tells you why: an expired connection, a board that no longer exists, a plan change, or too many failed pins in a row. Each reason comes with the step that starts it again.

Failed pins in the Queue show the reason Pinterest gave, so you can fix the pin instead of guessing. You can also pick from all 20 of your Etsy listing photos when you create pins, not just the first 10.

Improvements

  • Paused automations show the reason and the fix
  • Failed pins show why they failed
  • Choose from all 20 listing photos
  • Your chosen image layout is kept when you create, import, edit or bulk edit pins
  • Smart Board can no longer be saved without a fallback board

Chrome Extension, Research

A new research panel in the Chrome extension

The Alura Chrome extension has a new panel built on the same research as the app. Open it from the launcher on the right edge of any Etsy page.

On a search page it lists the results with sales and revenue estimates. On a shop page it shows the shop report, and on a listing it shows the listing report. In your own listing editor on Etsy, it opens Tag Manager.

Signing in or out on platform.alura.io now signs the extension in or out too. Update the extension from the Chrome Web Store to get the new panel.

Messages, Customers

Messages: export your conversations

You can now export your Etsy conversations from Customer Messages as CSV or JSON for any time range. If you pick a range older than the last 90 days, Alura syncs your full message history first.

Click a buyer's name in a conversation to open their customer page with all their orders. Conversations also open faster, without a loading flash.

Listings

Drag and drop photos into your listings

Drag photos from your computer straight into the listing editor, or pick several at once. Previews appear immediately, before the upload finishes.

You can also generate AI alt text for one photo at a time from the photo dialog, instead of the whole listing.

Improvements

  • When an optimization ends below 100, Alura explains what is holding the score back.
  • Keep my description, add an intro: AI adds an opening to your description and leaves the rest as you wrote it. Your own description instructions are followed too.
  • AI writes in the language you choose, not the shop's Etsy default.
  • Non-English listings can use tags up to 30 characters, as Etsy allows.
  • Refresh listing pulls the latest version from Etsy and shows when it last synced.
  • If a publish fails, the message names the field Etsy rejected.

Research

Saved research gets an overview

Saved now opens on an Overview. It counts your saved keywords, products and shops and shows your folders and lists in one tree. Click a list to see only what is in it.

Saves are shared with your workspace. Turn on the Saved by column under Display to see who saved each item.

Research improvements

  • Keyword Score is now calculated ahead of time, so you can sort and filter by it in Explore. Score tiers were recalibrated, so many keywords show lower scores than before.
  • Copy all tags from any product's side panel or Content tab.
  • Bulk Search results stay in place when you refresh the page.
  • Where data is missing, research tables show a dash instead of a misleading zero.
