Connect Kit (formerly ConvertKit)

Paste your Kit API key under Settings > Integrations, then add an Add to Kit step to a flow so everyone who reaches it is added to your Kit account.

Connect Kit with your Kit API key under Settings > Integrations. Then add an Add to Kit step to a flow, after the email question. Everyone who reaches that step is added to your Kit account.

Steps

Connect your account

  1. In Kit, go to Settings > Developer and copy your API key.
  2. In Textiful, go to Settings > Integrations.
  3. Under Email tools, click Connect Kit.
  4. Paste the key into Kit API key and confirm.
  5. You'll see "Kit connected." and Kit shows Connected.

Add the step to a flow

  1. Open the flow under Data Capture Flows.
  2. Make sure the flow has an Ask for email step.
  3. Click the + below that step (or Add a step), and under Actions and integrations choose Add to Kit.
  4. Optionally, choose a Kit Form to add people to.
  5. Save the step.

If the Kit step comes before the email question, the builder marks it Needs attention. Move it below Ask for email.

What gets sent

The step runs when someone reaches it. Textiful adds them to Kit by email address, with their first name if the flow collected it. If you chose a form, they're also added to that form.

Check that it worked

  • The contact's timeline shows Synced to Kit.
  • The Sync and delivery log on Settings > Integrations lists each send, its status, and any error from Kit. Use Retry on a failed send once you've fixed the cause.

Disconnect

Click Disconnect next to Kit on the Integrations page. Kit steps fail until you connect again. To switch Kit accounts, disconnect and connect with the other account's key.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my Kit API key?
In Kit, go to Settings, then Developer. Copy the API key and paste it into Textiful.
Kit says my key isn't valid. What now?
If Textiful shows "Kit did not accept that key.", copy the key again from Kit's Developer settings and make sure nothing extra was pasted with it.
