Automate Kit

Kit is where creators grow their email list, so the questions that matter are who signed up, who left and whether the list is growing. Automations report on subscribers, unsubscribes and growth on the schedule you pick, or post each new subscriber as it happens. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every morning at 7am, email me the names and emails of everyone who subscribed in Kit yesterday, or tell me there were none.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Kit

A daily roll-up of new subscribers, a weekly growth number and an instant ping for each sign-up. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.

Daily

Get yesterday's new Kit subscribers by email

One email each morning lists who subscribed yesterday, or says nobody did.

Weekly

Post a weekly Kit growth report to Slack

Every Monday Slack shows new subscribers, unsubscribes, net growth and the list total.

The moment it happens

Post each new Kit subscriber to Slack

Every sign-up appears in Slack with the person's name and email.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Kit, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any Kit automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Kit should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every Monday, tell me how many Kit subscribers joined and left last week and which form brought in the most.

When someone buys on Stripe, add them to Kit with a customer tag.

When a new Kit subscriber joins, have AI classify their signup answer, tag them in Kit and log them in Airtable.

Beyond chat

Have Kit work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Kit to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Kit

You connect Kit with an API key from your own account's developer settings. The key covers the v4 API for that one account.

Kit

Email marketing / creators

In Kit, open Settings, then Developer.
Click Add a new key and give it a name.
Copy the key straight away, because Kit won't show it again.
In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the key as a secret for Kit.

Good to know

Kit limits that affect automations

Your Kit account must be on a plan that includes API access.
Bulk endpoints and creating purchases don't accept API keys, so automations that need them aren't available with a key.

FAQ

Questions about automating Kit

What can ClickRuntime see in Kit?

What your API key allows, such as your subscribers, when they joined, growth stats and webhooks for events like a new subscriber.

Why can't it record purchases?

Kit only allows purchase creation and bulk endpoints through OAuth, not API keys. Reading subscribers and stats works with a key.

Are new subscriber alerts instant?

Yes. The automation registers a webhook with Kit, so each new subscriber is posted as Kit reports it.

What happens on a day with no sign-ups?

The daily digest says there were no new subscribers, so you know it ran.

Is AI part of these reports?

No, they are straight counts and lists. If you want a written summary added, it uses the AI that comes with every ClickRuntime plan, so no AI key is needed.

Is this a Kit connector for ChatGPT or Claude?

Not for chatting with Kit data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Kit while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Kit event.
