What Kit + PingBell does together
Kit (rebranded from ConvertKit in 2024) is the creator-focused email platform. All the Zapier triggers continue to work under the Kit branding; native webhooks are available on higher tiers. PingBell subscribes to new-subscriber and paid-conversion events.
Use cases
- Creators who rebranded to Kit and want their dashboards to match
- Paid newsletter creators tracking subscription MRR
- Long-form writers running Kit as their operating system
- Podcasters growing a Kit list as an audience
- Multi-channel creators aggregating across Kit lists
Setup
- Zap: Trigger = “New Subscriber” in Kit (listed under ConvertKit in older Zapier UIs).
- Action = POST to PingBell webhook.
- Map fields.
- PingBell: configure counter.
- Pair apps.
Why PingBell beats the alternatives for Kit
Kit’s in-platform analytics are strong but don’t broadcast. PingBell adds the celebration layer.
