JenMcFarlandQ: I notice my hashtags aren't showing up for posts I schedule through Pin Generator.
Is that on your roadmap?

Could you please elaborate on what you mean but this?
Where are you putting your hashtags and where are you expecting them to appear on Pinterest?
Please note though that it is widely considered not recommended to use hashtags on Pinterest anymore:

I'm putting them in the description. They're being stripped out on Pinterest. I wish I'd known this wasn't an option before scheduling 260 pins. Now I have to go through one by one....

It strips out the # so it looks like I'm keyword stuffing at the end. That's why I'm having to go through one by one and edit it. Bummer.
Hi Jen,
I have figured out what was going wrong.
Some Pinterest pins were failing to post as they had emojis in them and Pinterest doesn't support all types of emojis.
So, I started removing emojis from pin descriptions before pinning to Pinterest.
In a strange way, this started to strip all hashtags from the descriptions too.
I have fixed this now and I'm deploying the update shortly.
Hashtags should be working fine again after the deployment is complete.
Kind regards,
Ollie
