Integrating OptiMonk Campaigns with ConvertKit

The ConvertKit integration with OptiMonk allows you to have subscribers added to your ConvertKit mailing list when they fill out an OptiMonk popup form. It may come handy if you run marketing campaigns on a regular basis, so that the subscribers who signed up via OptiMonk will also get news about your upcoming promotions and news.

To setup integration with ConvertKit please follow these steps: 

1. Login to your OptiMonk admin dashboard at OptiMonk.com and go to campaign settings by clicking your campaign.
2. This will take you to your Campaign Settings page for that campaign. Scroll down to find the heading Integrations and click on the discursive arrow next to: Where would you like to keep the list of subscribers?
   
3. By default, your subscribers are stored in the internal database of your OptiMonk account. To store new subscribers in another email, newsletter, or CRM system, click on ‘Set up’ next to External System.
4. Select ConvertKit from the list that appears.
   
   
   
   
5. You will need the API key from your ConvertKit account to integrate with OptiMonk. Open a new browser tab or window and login to your ConvertKit account. Go toAccount ->Account Settings ->API Key.
