Integration with Kit (formerly ConvertKit)

We're big fans of Kit (aff link) here at Teachery and that's why they're one of the few email providers we have direct integrations with.

Will we add other email integrations? If you're wondering if we'll be adding any other email providers as direct integrations in Teachery in the future (Active Campaign, etc) the answer is unfortunately no. BUT, you can use our Zapier, Pabbly, or Make integrations to connect your email provider of choice!

How to integrate your Kit account

It couldn't be easier to connect your account!

• Click Account in the top navigation of Teachery

• Click the Integrations link option

• Scroll down to find the Kit area

• Enter your Kit API Key and click Save

• You're integrated!

Here's a video to walk you through our Kit integration and how you can use it within your Payment and Landing Pages:

Using double-opt in: If you want to ensure your customers are double opting-in to receive emails from your Kit account, check the double opt-in box option in Teachery and then in your Kit Form make sure double opt-in confirmation is turned on. When a customer buys your course, they will then get the Kit Confirmation Email and need to click the link to confirm before being added to your Kit account.

Recommendation: Create individual Kit Forms for Teachery Payment or Landing Pages

We recommend that you create new Kit Forms for each Teachery Payment or Landing Page. This way, you can track exactly what's happening between Kit and Teachery, plus you can set up some fun automations in Kit with your course.

Every Payment or Landing Page lets you choose which Kit form you want to send data through to (they can all go to separate Kit Forms!)

If you want to test if your Kit integration is working, simply purchase your own course via a Payment Page (using a unique email address, NOT your Teachery account email address) or via Landing Page using Email Capture Mode.

Example Follow-Up Email Sequence

If you want to send a new customer an email sequence after purchasing your course, you can easily create the sequence of emails in Kit and connect it to Teachery.

Steps in Kit...

• Create a new Sequence in Kit

• Write your sequence emails and set the dates you want them to send (after the purchase happens in Teachery)

• Publish your sequence so it's live and ready to send

• Create a new Automation (Add Rule) in Kit

• Create a trigger for when someone Subscribes to a Form they automatically Subscribe to a Sequence

• You're all done in Kit!

Steps in Teachery...

• Edit the Payment Page customers will buy from

• Click the Connect Email Provider button in the Actions menu

• Select the specific Kit Form and click Save

• You're all done in Teachery and your email sequence is ready for customers

You can test this automation by purchasing your own course through your Teachery payment page that has the correct Kit form added to it (the one you just picked in the automation steps above). If you get the first email in the Kit Sequence, you're good to go!

NOTE: Make sure to use a unique email address when buying your own course to test this automated email sequence (separate from your Teachery Account email address).
