This tutorial explains how to automatically tweet every time you like a pin on Pinterest.
This is really useful when you want to let your followers know what you loved on Pinterest recently. And to do this task, you can create an IFTTT recipe. Just like other IFTTT recipes, like this and this one, you have to connect your accounts (this time it’s about Pinterest and Twitter). When both the accounts are connected and the recipe is created, then it will run automatically whenever you like a Pin.
The tweet will contain the image and the URL of Pin you liked on Pinterest. Your followers and other Twitter users can view the image directly on your Twitter timeline, read the message of Pin, and click on the URL to open the source location of Pin.
What you see above is the IFTTT recipe created by me to accomplish this task.

Step 6: When your Twitter Channel is connected, then you have to Choose an Action for that Channel. You will find multiple actions in front of you, but have to select “Post a tweet with image” action.
Step 7: In this step, you need to Complete Action Fields. Go to Image URL field and select PinURL as Ingredient for that field.
