Native on one side, webhook on the other

Klaviyo + Kit (ConvertKit) integration

Kit gets native Plandalf steps, Klaviyo gets a webhook call to its API, and one checkout can feed both.

No credit card required. No coding required.

Does Klaviyo integrate with Kit (ConvertKit)?

Plandalf does not sync Klaviyo with Kit (ConvertKit). Kit has native steps, while Klaviyo is reached with Send Webhook against its API. One sequence can do both, a Kit tag or form can start a sequence, and a Klaviyo flow webhook can post to a Plandalf catch URL.

Checkout completedPlandalfKitNative stepTag Subscriber creates the subscriber if Kit lacks them. Add Subscriber to Sequence then starts the onboarding emails, provided the Kit sequence is active.
Checkout completedPlandalfKlaviyoWebhookA Send Webhook step posts a profile to Klaviyo's profile import, with a Klaviyo-API-Key authorization header and a revision header.
Tag addedKitKlaviyoWebhookPlandalf adds the Kit webhook when you save the trigger. The sequence's Send Webhook step then writes the tagged subscriber into Klaviyo, so the tag name can become a profile property.
Flow webhookKlaviyoKitWebhookA Klaviyo flow's Webhook action posts JSON to a Plandalf catch URL. The sequence runs a native Kit step, such as Add Subscriber to Form, for the email it receives.

Tag in Kit, create a profile in Klaviyo

You need a Kit V4 API key and a Klaviyo private API key.

  1. Connect Kit

    In Automation, Marketplace, connect Kit under Available now. Paste a V4 key from Settings, then Developer, not the legacy V3 key.

  2. Start the sequence

    Create it under My Sequences with Plandalf and Checkout Completed, limit it to your offer, and choose a sample checkout on the Test tab.

  3. Tag and enrol in Kit

    Add Kit, Tag Subscriber with the email and a tag such as Customer. Then add Add Subscriber to Sequence with your onboarding sequence.

  4. Add the Klaviyo profile

    Add Send Webhook, POST to Klaviyo's profile import. Set the three headers and a JSON:API payload that holds the email and first name from the trigger.

  5. Add a Klaviyo-to-Kit path if you need it

    Create a second sequence with the Webhook Trigger, paste its URL into a Klaviyo flow Webhook action, and run a native Kit step for the email in the sample it captures.

  6. Test

    Switch on Run on test purchases, buy through the test link with your own email, and check the Kit subscriber and the Klaviyo profile before switching it off.

What sellers do with Klaviyo and Kit (ConvertKit)

A creator opening an online shop

A newsletter writer on Kit starts selling prints through a Plandalf checkout. Kit tags the buyer for the customer segment, while Klaviyo holds shop profiles that drive order flows.

Klaviyo audience, Kit course delivery

A Klaviyo flow posts to a catch URL when a profile joins a course waitlist, and the sequence adds that person to a Kit form so the course emails start.

Limits and gotchas

  • Purchases do not appear in Kit's purchase history because Plandalf connects with an API key. Use a tag or custom field to record what was bought.
  • Klaviyo's profile import does not subscribe the profile to marketing. Consent needs its own subscribe request.
  • Klaviyo flow webhooks need two-step authentication and a Manager, Admin or Owner role, only send POST with JSON, and cover only events that can trigger a flow.
  • Kit allows 120 requests a minute per key and Klaviyo has its own limits, so a large burst of buyers can slow one side.
  • Plandalf has no step that unsubscribes someone in Kit, so an unsubscribe in Klaviyo has no automatic counterpart.

Klaviyo and Kit (ConvertKit): common questions

Does Klaviyo integrate with Kit?
Plandalf does not connect the two. It writes buyers to Kit with native steps and to Klaviyo with a webhook call, and either tool can start a sequence. Each vendor's own integrations list covers direct links.
How do I connect Klaviyo to ConvertKit?
Connect Kit in Plandalf, then build a sequence on Checkout Completed with Kit steps and a Send Webhook step to Klaviyo's profile import. The recipe above has the details.
Will a Kit tag appear in Klaviyo?
Only if a sequence sends it. Use the Kit Tag Added trigger and a Send Webhook step that writes the tag name into a Klaviyo profile property.
Is Kit the same as ConvertKit?
Yes. ConvertKit became Kit, and Plandalf's pages still use both names for the same app.
