Zapier helps you connect (and automate!) different services across the web.
This means that if we don't have an official integration with a service or platform you're using, in many cases you'll still be able to connect it to your ConvertKit account using Zapier.
NOTE: You'll need a paid ConvertKit account to connect with Zapier since the connection requires API access.
What is Zapier?
Zapier is a service that allows you to connect different web applications — even if they don't have a direct integration with one another — using automations that they refer to as Zaps.
How it works: you'll connect to Zapier your ConvertKit account and the other platform(s) or service(s) you want to connect to, and then set up Zaps that tell ConvertKit to do something when a particular trigger event occurs in the other app.
Think of Zapier as an Internet middleman.
For example, you could have a Zap that tells ConvertKit to add a Tag to a subscriber after they make a purchase in another app. That tag can then kick off a Visual Automation inside ConvertKit, and then ConvertKit can take it from there!
Connecting ConvertKit to Zapier
Zapier has a free plan, which may be sufficient for you. View their plans and pricing details here to check if you need a paid Zapier account. A paid ConvertKit account is required since you'll be accessing our API.
After creating your Zapier account, you'll need to link it to your ConvertKit account. You can do this by navigating to Apps in the left sidebar, followed by + Add connection.
Search for and select ConvertKit from the list.
You'll be asked to provide your ConvertKit API Secret to allow Zapier to access your account:
Your API Secret can be found in your ConvertKit account's Developer settings. Under the V3 API Key section, click Show to reveal it, and then copy its contents:
Once you've pasted your API Secret into Zapier, click the Yes, Continue to ConvertKit button, and that's it! Your ConvertKit account is now hooked up to Zapier.
...but you're not done yet. Now it's time to set up some Zaps! ⚡️
Most popular Zaps
There are hundreds of Zaps already built and ready for you to start using, and you can create your own as well. Which ones you decide to use depends entirely on what you're looking to automate!

Zapier troubleshooting
☝️ Zapier is a third-party integration. Our team is unable to provide troubleshooting support for Zapier connection issues. That's because the connections take place on Zapier's side and we don't have direct visibility into them.
So, if you're having trouble setting up a connection in Zapier, please reach out to Zapier support as they'll be the best-equipped to advise on troubleshooting. Of course, if you're having trouble with something on the ConvertKit side, we're here to help.
