Hazel reads your full Pinterest Ads history (campaigns, ad groups, keywords, daily spend, impressions, clicks, video views) and answers business questions in plain English. No dashboards to build.
May 23, 2026
Hazel is an AI coworker that connects to your Pinterest Ads account and answers business questions about your paid media the way an analyst would. Once authorized, Hazel ingests your campaigns, ad groups, and keywords, plus daily campaign, ad-group, and keyword-level metrics (impressions, clicks, video views, and spend) and refreshes every few hours. Ask Hazel about CPC trends, top-performing keywords, video view rates by campaign, or which ad groups stopped spending and when, and you get an answer with the numbers behind it. Hazel is built for consumer brands that run Pinterest alongside Meta, TikTok, Google, and other paid channels, so cross-channel questions like "how does Pinterest CPM compare to Meta this quarter" or "which channels drove new-customer revenue last month" are a single prompt. No exports, no dashboard pivots, no SQL.
Hazel reads the Pinterest Ads data that matters for analyzing a consumer brand and lets you query it conversationally:
Hazel keeps your full Pinterest history, so seasonality, year-over-year comparisons, and long-window pacing analyses are one prompt.
Common questions consumer brands ask about their Pinterest Ads data:
"What date did Pinterest Ads stop spending? How many daily and weekly sessions was it driving prior to being paused according to GA4?"
"I pushed tracking template updates on Pinterest on Friday. Can you check if they had an impact on GA tracking for the channel? Source should be pinterest."
"When I roll up paid channels, combine email and SMS into one, and put Bing and Pinterest into 'unknown'."
"Top 10 Pinterest campaigns by spend over the last 90 days, with CPC and CTR."
"How does Pinterest CPM compare to Meta and TikTok by week this year?"
"Which Pinterest keywords are driving the most clicks and what's the spend behind them?"
"Show video view rate by campaign on Pinterest over the last 30 days, sorted by views."
"Did our new Pinterest campaign launched two weeks ago hit its impression and click pacing vs. the previous flight?"
Authorize Hazel via OAuth. Sign in through Pinterest in a popup window and approve the connection. You'll need a Pinterest Business Account with access to the ad accounts you want to analyze. No API keys, no manual configuration.
Campaigns, ad groups, and keywords, plus daily campaign, ad-group, and keyword-level metrics: impressions, clicks, video views, and spend. Hazel pulls the full historical record so you can run year-over-year and long-window analyses out of the box.
Roughly every 6 hours, automatically.
Pinterest data is most useful when Hazel can compare it to your other ad platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok) and tie it back to revenue from Shopify or sessions from GA4. Connecting those alongside Pinterest unlocks the cross-channel questions that single-platform tools can't answer.
OAuth via Pinterest. Hazel only reads your data; it never writes back to your Pinterest account or campaigns.
A handful of third-party MCP servers exist (Zapier, Adzviser, CData, Improvado, Synter) that connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor directly to the Pinterest Ads API for real-time queries and, in some cases, campaign management. Those are useful when you want a single MCP client to call a single ad platform on demand.
Pinterest's own AI tools (Performance+, Canvas, auto-collages) handle the creative and campaign-automation side. Hazel handles the analytics side. Rather than pointing an LLM at the Pinterest Ads API and having it re-discover your schema and rate limits on every prompt, Hazel ingests your Pinterest history into an analytical store, joins it with your other ad platforms, ecommerce, email, and reviews data, and gives your team a single conversational interface for any business question. No MCP setup to maintain, no per-prompt schema discovery, and the same agent answers questions across every source you've connected, not just Pinterest in isolation.
If you specifically want MCP access to Hazel itself, that's available too. Ping us at https://calendly.com/clint-dunn/clint-hazel-intro.
Yes. Connect Pinterest Ads via OAuth from inside Hazel. You'll sign into Pinterest in a popup and approve access to your ad accounts. No API keys required.
Those are reporting and dashboard tools. You pre-build a dashboard, then read it. Marin adds optimization recommendations but still lives inside a fixed UI. Hazel is analyst-first: any question about your Pinterest performance, or any cross-channel comparison, in plain English with no dashboard to set up. Hazel also goes beyond paid media into your ecommerce, email, subscriptions, and reviews data, so the same conversation can move from "Pinterest CPC trend" to "did Pinterest drive new customers this month."
A Pinterest MCP server connects an AI assistant directly to the Pinterest API. It's powerful for single-platform, real-time queries, but you're still wiring up the analytics yourself, and you'll need a different MCP for every other source you care about. Hazel ingests your Pinterest data into an analytical store, joins it with every other source you've connected, and gives you one agent that answers cross-source business questions out of the box.
Roughly every 6 hours.
No. Hazel only reads. We never pause campaigns, change bids, or write to your account.
Impressions, clicks, video views, and spend at the campaign and ad-group level, with keyword-level performance for Search campaigns specifically. Derived metrics like CPC, CPM, CTR, and video view rate are available on demand. When tied to Shopify or GA4, Hazel can also correlate Pinterest activity with sessions, orders, and new customer acquisition.
Performance+ is Pinterest's flagship AI campaign type: it bundles automated bidding, targeting, and AI-generated creative variations. Performance+ runs your campaigns; Hazel reads what they delivered. Brands using Performance+ ask Hazel things like "is Performance+ outperforming our manual campaigns on CPA week over week?" and "how does Performance+ catalog sales spend compare to Meta Advantage+ shopping?"
Those tools are attribution-first. They assign credit across channels using a fixed dashboard model. Hazel is analyst-first: any question about your Pinterest spend or any other channel, in plain English, starting from your question instead of a pre-built dashboard. You don't define metrics in advance. Hazel works from what you ask.
Yes. You need a Pinterest Business Account with access to the ad accounts you want Hazel to analyze. Personal Pinterest accounts aren't supported.

Book a call and we'll walk through your Pinterest setup, the questions you want to answer, and what the rollout looks like.
