Along with the above method, you can track your customer behaviors by manually adding the Pinterest Tag tracking script to Additional Script. However, if these two methods are applied simultaneously, each event will be sent more than once, leading to the data duplication.
To solve this problem, go to your Preferences > Additional scripts and delete the Pinterest Tag script added before.
