Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Are you looking to streamline your email marketing efforts and add a level of automation that can transform your campaigns? Look no further than integrating Zapier with your ConvertKit account! This powerful combination can elevate your marketing strategy, saving you time and increasing efficiency.


What is Zapier?


Zapier is an online automation tool that connects your favorite apps, such as Gmail, Slack, MailChimp, and, of course, ConvertKit. With Zapier, you can connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without the need for coding or relying on developers to build the integration.


What is ConvertKit?


ConvertKit is an email marketing platform built for creators. It’s an easy-to-use email service provider that helps you manage your email list, set up autoresponders, and create automation flows that cater to your audience. When you combine ConvertKit's capabilities with Zapier's automation, you’re essentially putting your email marketing on autopilot.


How to Add Zapier to ConvertKit



  1. Create a Zapier Account
    First, you'll need to have a Zapier account. If you don't have one, head over to Zapier.com and sign up for a free account.



  2. Find the ConvertKit App on Zapier
    Once logged in, click on “Make a Zap” at the top of the page. In the search bar, type ConvertKit and select it when it appears in the dropdown.



  3. Choose Your Trigger




Decide on the event in ConvertKit that you want to initiate an action. For example, this could be when a new subscriber joins your mailing list.



  1. Select Your Action App
    After choosing your trigger, you need to select the action that will occur as a result. This could be any app that Zapier supports – for example, adding a subscriber's detail to a Google Sheet.



  2. Connect Your ConvertKit Account
    You'll be prompted to sign in to your ConvertKit account to link it with Zapier. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize the connection.



  3. Set Up the Trigger and Action




Customize the details of your trigger and action according to your specific needs. Zapier’s interface guides you through selecting the appropriate fields and data you wish to include.



  1. Test Your Zap
    Before setting it live, test your Zap to ensure that it works correctly.



  2. Activate Your Zap
    If the test is successful, you can then activate your Zap. Voilà! You have connected Zapier to ConvertKit.




Remember to monitor the performance of your Zaps and make adjustments as required. Automation is all about making things more efficient, so tweaking and improving your workflows should be an ongoing process.
