Native on one side, webhook on the other

Flodesk + Kit (ConvertKit) integration

Flodesk segments can start Kit tags and sequences through a Plandalf catch URL, and a checkout can write the buyer to both.

No credit card required. No coding required.

Does Flodesk integrate with Kit (ConvertKit)?

Plandalf does not sync Flodesk with Kit (ConvertKit). Kit has native Plandalf steps; Flodesk is reached through its API with Send Webhook, and a Flodesk webhook you create can post to a Plandalf catch URL. That lets a Flodesk event drive Kit, and the reverse.

What moves between Flodesk and Kit (ConvertKit)

EventFrom and toThroughWhat happens
Subscriber added to segmentFlodeskKitWebhookA webhook created in Flodesk's API posts JSON to your catch URL, including a segment object. The sequence runs Tag Subscriber or Add Subscriber to Form in Kit.

Let a Flodesk segment tag the person in Kit

You need a Flodesk API key to register the webhook and a Kit V4 API key for the tag step.

  1. Connect Kit

    In Automation, Marketplace, connect Kit with a V4 key from Settings, Developer.

  2. Create the catch trigger

    In My Sequences create a sequence with the Webhook Trigger and copy its Webhook URL. Keep it private, as anyone holding it can start the sequence.

  3. Register the Flodesk webhook

    Using Flodesk's API, send a POST to its webhooks endpoint with a name, your catch URL as post_url, and subscriber.added_to_segment in events.

  4. Capture a sample

    Add a person to the segment in Flodesk. When the request arrives, choose it as the sample record on the trigger's Test tab so the variable menu shows the subscriber's email.

  5. Add the Kit step

    Add Kit, Tag Subscriber, map the email from the sample and pick a tag. Add Add Subscriber to Sequence if Kit should start emails too.

  6. Turn it on

    Run each test with a real address of your own, then switch the sequence On.

What sellers do with Flodesk and Kit (ConvertKit)

Moving a newsletter from Flodesk to Kit

A creator rebuilding in Kit sets the segment webhook so every new Flodesk segment member is tagged in Kit, while old broadcasts keep going out from Flodesk.

Design emails in Flodesk, paid sequences in Kit

People who buy a course through a Plandalf checkout get the Kit onboarding sequence. A Flodesk segment for the same offer is filled through the Flodesk API so its branded campaigns reach them too.

Limits and gotchas

  • Flodesk's webhook documentation describes no signing secret or signature header, so rely on a private catch URL and check the fields you use.
  • Flodesk webhooks are made with its API, not from a Plandalf screen, and Plandalf's Flodesk page says its workflows have no webhook step.
  • Purchases do not show in Kit's purchase history. Record the product with a tag or a custom field.
  • The Kit tag step creates a missing subscriber, so make sure the people arriving from Flodesk have agreed to Kit emails.
  • Unsubscribes in Flodesk are reported by an event, but Plandalf has no Kit unsubscribe step, so mirror them only with a tag that Kit automation acts on.

Flodesk and Kit (ConvertKit): common questions

Does Flodesk integrate with Kit?
Not through Plandalf as a sync. Plandalf can connect them in practice: a Flodesk webhook starts a Plandalf sequence, and the sequence tags the person in Kit with native steps.
How do I connect Flodesk to ConvertKit?
Create a Webhook Trigger sequence in Plandalf, register its URL as a Flodesk webhook through the API, and add a Kit step that uses the email from the sample payload.
Can I migrate from Flodesk to Kit using Plandalf?
Plandalf helps during the overlap by tagging new Flodesk segment members in Kit. Importing the existing list is done in Kit.
Which Flodesk events can start a sequence?
Flodesk documents events for a new subscriber, a subscriber added to a segment and an unsubscribe.
