What ConvertKit + PingBell does together
ConvertKit (the creator-focused email platform — now rebranded to Kit; see our Kit page for the new branding) has reliable Zapier triggers for new subscribers, new paid subscribers, and automation completions. PingBell broadcasts each event.
Use cases
- Newsletter operators tracking subscriber growth live
- Paid newsletter creators monitoring paid conversions
- Course creators running ConvertKit-based launches
- Creators celebrating subscriber milestones on-camera for social content
- Multi-list operators aggregating across audiences
Setup
- Zap: Trigger = “New Subscriber” in ConvertKit.
- Action = Webhooks by Zapier POST to PingBell.
- Map fields.
- PingBell: configure counter.
- Pair apps.
Why PingBell beats the alternatives for ConvertKit
ConvertKit’s dashboard is strong for email performance but doesn’t broadcast. For creators who livestream growth or want subscriber-count visibility, PingBell fills the gap.
