How to connect DNNR with Kit

Use the DNNR + Kit integration to embed dinner club CTAs in your content, sync guests into Kit, and turn dinner club activity into subscriber segments and automations.

Written by Rae Lambert

What is DNNR?

DNNR (pronounced "dinner") helps creators and media brands launch branded dinner clubs that turn audience attention into real-world connection and recurring revenue. With the DNNR + Kit integration, you can promote your dinner club directly inside your Kit content, sync dinner club guests into your Kit audience, and use booking data to segment and follow up with attendees.

What is Kit?

Kit is an email-first operating system for creators. It helps creators, newsletter operators, media brands, and online businesses grow their audience, send email newsletters, build landing pages and forms, sell digital products, and run automations based on subscriber behavior.

For DNNR customers, Kit is where your audience already lives. The DNNR + Kit integration connects your dinner club activity back to that audience database, so you can promote upcoming dinners, sync guests as subscribers, segment attendees, and trigger follow-up campaigns without manually moving data between tools.

What the DNNR + Kit integration does

The Kit +DNNR integration (available in the Kit App Store) helps you connect your dinner club activity with your Kit audience in two main ways:

  1. Embed your dinner club CTA into Kit content
    Add a live dinner club call-to-action inside a Kit newsletter or Kit webpage, including the dinner club image, campaign details, and a button to take the quiz and book a seat.

  2. Sync dinner club data into Kit
    When someone books a dinner club seat through DNNR, their information can sync into Kit so you can track attendees, segment your audience, and trigger follow-up automations.

Before you begin

To use the DNNR + Kit integration, you’ll need:

  • An active DNNR account (get started here)

  • A paid Kit account

  • Permission to install apps in your Kit account

  • At least one active or upcoming DNNR dinner club campaign

How to install the DNNR app in Kit

  1. Log in to your Kit account.

  2. Go to the Kit App Store.

  3. Search for DNNR.

  4. Click Install.

  5. Follow the prompts to connect your DNNR account.

  6. Choose your sync preferences and default tagging settings.

  7. Confirm the connection.

Once connected, new DNNR dinner club bookings will sync into Kit automatically based on the preferences you selected during setup.

Embedding a DNNR dinner club CTA in Kit

After you connect DNNR to Kit, you can embed a live dinner club campaign block into your Kit content.

A DNNR campaign block can include:

  • Dinner club name

  • Campaign image

  • City or location details

  • Date and time

  • Ticket price

  • Short description

  • Button to take the quiz and book a seat

Because the block is connected to your DNNR campaign, it stays up to date as campaign details change.

Common ways to use the DNNR content block

You can add your dinner club CTA to:

  • Newsletter announcements

  • Reminder emails

  • Paid subscriber emails

  • Kit webpages

  • Launch sequences

  • Community update emails

For example, you might announce your upcoming dinner club in a newsletter, add the DNNR block below your intro, and send readers directly to the DNNR quiz and booking flow.

What data syncs from DNNR to Kit

When someone books a seat through DNNR, their attendee data can sync into Kit so you can see dinner club activity alongside the rest of your audience data.

Depending on your setup, DNNR can sync:

  • Subscriber name

  • Email address

  • Dinner club campaign

  • City or location

  • Booking status

  • Ticket purchase information

  • Attendance-related tags

  • Repeat attendee or guest history

This makes it easier to understand which subscribers are participating in your real-world community, not just opening emails.

How DNNR tags subscribers in Kit

DNNR can automatically apply tags to dinner club guests when they book a seat.

Your exact tag names may depend on your default settings, but tags can be used to identify things like:

  • Someone booked a dinner club seat

  • Someone booked a specific campaign

Tags make it easy to segment dinner club guests from your broader audience.

Using DNNR data in Kit segments and automations

Once dinner club data is syncing into Kit, you can use it to create more personalized campaigns.

For example, you can:

  • Send a confirmation or welcome sequence after someone books

  • Follow up with attendees after dinner

  • Invite past attendees to the next dinner club

  • Create a segment of subscribers who have booked but not attended recently

  • Reward repeat guests

  • Send city-specific dinner announcements

  • Promote future campaigns to subscribers who clicked but did not book

  • Build automations based on dinner club purchase or attendance behavior

This helps you turn one dinner club launch into an ongoing community and revenue channel.

Example workflows

Promote an upcoming dinner club

Embed your DNNR campaign block into a Kit newsletter so subscribers can see the dinner details and book directly from your announcement.

Follow up with attendees

After a subscriber books a seat, DNNR syncs their booking data into Kit. You can use that data to send post-dinner follow-ups, feedback requests (DNNR automatically sends feedback requests but perhaps you'd like deeper results), or invitations to future dinners (DNNR automatically sends weekly invitations to those in your DNNR email list).

Segment your most engaged community members

Create a Kit segment of subscribers who have booked one or more dinner club seats. These are some of your highest-intent community members and can be a strong audience for future dinners, memberships, sponsorships, or premium offers.

Launch in multiple cities

If you run dinner clubs in multiple cities, DNNR data can help you segment your Kit audience by location and promote the right dinner campaign to the right people.

Troubleshooting

I installed the app, but I don’t see my DNNR campaign in Kit

Make sure your DNNR campaign is active or upcoming. If the campaign is still in draft mode, it may not be available to embed yet.

My dinner club guests are not appearing in Kit

Check that your DNNR account is connected to the correct Kit account and that attendee sync is turned on in your integration settings.

Tags are not being applied

Review your default tagging settings in the DNNR integration setup. If you recently changed your tags, new bookings should use the updated settings going forward.

The campaign block is showing old information

The DNNR block is designed to stay up to date with your live campaign. If you recently edited a campaign, refresh your Kit editor or reinsert the block.

Someone booked a seat but did not receive my Kit automation

Confirm that the automation trigger is based on the correct DNNR tag, purchase, or subscriber event. Also check that the subscriber is not excluded from the automation by another rule or filter.
