ConvertKit is a marketing platform that can help to grow your audience and increase sales by running email marketing campaigns for your Kajabi website.
ConvertKit’s email marketing software can be integrated with Kajabi.
Key Takeaway:
- Kajabi and ConvertKit can be seamlessly integrated for email marketing;
- Kajabi has in-built email marketing features similar to ConvertKit’s, so you might not even need to integrate.

With Kajabi, you can use ConvertKit to create opt-in forms, send follow-up emails, add tags, and set up automation.
