Email marketing built for creators — automated by your agent

SalesMarketingEmailEcommerceAutomation

ConvertKit (now Kit) is the email marketing and audience-monetisation platform purpose-built for creators: newsletter writers, course builders, podcasters, and digital product sellers. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can subscribe contacts, apply or remove tags, enrol subscribers in sequences, create custom fields, and react to purchase events — all without you touching the Kit dashboard. The result: your list grows, segments itself, and runs campaigns while you focus on creating.

Eliminates manual work. Every week a Kit account accumulates dozens of repetitive touch points — tagging a new buyer as 'paid-member', enrolling a sequence-completer in the next drip, pulling a broadcast's link-click roster to build a 'pricing-clicked' segment, or auditing custom fields before a CRM sync. An agent handles each action in seconds via the API rather than through the Kit dashboard, and it can batch an entire subscriber import, tag sweep, or sequence-graduation run in a single session. Across routine tagging, deliverability monitoring, and campaign segmentation, that adds up to roughly three hours a week returned to content creation.

Unsubscribe rescue before the list goes cold

When a subscriber's unsubscribe event lands in Kit, your agent reads their purchase history and engagement tags, decides within seconds whether they're a paying customer or a high-value prospect, and — if they are — tags them for personal outreach, posts their name and lifetime value to the #customer-success Slack channel, and blocks the automated farewell email sequence so the save attempt lands first, not last.

Connect

How to plug ConvertKit into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path to your Kit account. Install the mcp-kit MCP server and your agent reaches subscribers, tags, sequences, and forms through a managed OAuth handshake — no API keys to rotate, no token expiry to chase.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find ConvertKit (Kit) in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

2
Authorise in Kit

A browser tab opens to app.kit.com. Sign in, review the requested scopes (read/write subscribers, tags, sequences, forms, and custom fields), and click Authorise.

3
Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to list your Kit forms. A green tick confirms the handshake — you're ready to automate.

FAQs

Questions about ConvertKit + Actionist

How do I connect ConvertKit (Kit) to Actionist?
Open the Apps tab, find ConvertKit, and click Connect. Actionist defaults to the MCP method — a browser tab opens to app.kit.com where you approve the OAuth scopes. Once authorised, Actionist runs a read-only form list call to confirm the handshake. The whole flow takes under two minutes and you never handle an API key.
What Kit API scopes does Actionist request?
Actionist requests read and write access to subscribers, tags, sequences, forms, and custom fields. It does not request billing or account-settings access. You can review and revoke the connection at any time from app.kit.com → Settings → Integrations.
Can I combine Kit with other apps in the same agent workflow?
Yes — Kit is designed to work alongside your CRM, e-commerce platform, and communication tools. Common combinations include HubSpot (sync deal stages to Kit sequences), Stripe (tag subscribers on purchase), Google Sheets (import subscriber lists), and Slack (alert your team on high-value events like unsubscribes or sequence completions).
What are the most common Kit automation use cases?
The top use cases are: (1) subscribing new leads to the right form when they sign up elsewhere, (2) applying tags based on link clicks or purchases to drive segment-specific sequences, (3) enrolling subscribers in sequences after Stripe purchases or HubSpot deal closes, (4) removing tags on cancellation to immediately stop promotional emails, and (5) running monthly list hygiene by querying inactive-subscriber tags and suppressing them.
How does Actionist avoid sending duplicate emails when my agent updates Kit records?
Actionist's Kit actions are idempotent where the API allows — subscribing an already-subscribed email to the same form does not create a duplicate; it updates the existing record. For tag operations, the agent checks current tag state before applying or removing to avoid no-op writes. For sequence enrolments, add a condition step checking whether the subscriber is already active in the sequence before calling 'Add subscriber to a sequence'.
What Kit objects can the agent read and write?
The agent can read and write custom fields, forms (subscribe and list), sequences (list and enrol), tags (create, list, add, remove), and subscriber records. It cannot create or delete sequences or broadcasts through the current action set — those are authored in the Kit dashboard.
Does Actionist support Kit's webhook triggers for real-time automation?
Yes. Actionist connects to Kit's native webhook triggers — Form subscribe, Link click, Purchase events, Sequence subscribe and complete, Subscriber activated, Subscriber unsubscribe, and Tag add and remove. These fire in real time so the agent reacts within seconds of the event, not on the next scheduled poll.
What happens if I disconnect the Kit integration?
Disconnecting removes the OAuth token from Actionist's secure vault. Any scheduled or trigger-based Kit automations will fail silently at the Kit step and log an auth error in your agent's run history. No subscriber data or Kit account settings are altered. Reconnect via the Apps tab at any time — a new OAuth flow re-grants access and automations resume on the next trigger event.
