How it works
When an event carries an email, ViralDM adds that person to the ConvertKit form you chose, with their first name.
Events without an email are skipped.
This subscribes them to that form. Only use it for people who asked for your emails, for example with a keyword like "send me the guide by email".
What goes across
- Any of the six business events that carries an email.
- The Flow Builder step "Send to a connector", when the person has an email.
Where to find it
Paste your API secret and form ID
ConvertKit (now called Kit) connects with two values from your account.
API Secret
- In Kit, click your account name (top right) → Settings → Developer (older ConvertKit screens: Settings → Advanced).
- Under the V3 API Key section, copy the API Secret — not the API Key, and not a v4 key.
Form ID
- Open Grow → Landing Pages & Forms and open the form.
- The Form ID is the number in the browser address while you edit it.
After connecting
Check it works
- Press 🧪 Test on the connector in ViralDM. It sends one test event, so you can see it arrive before a real lead does.
- On the Connectors page, open the connector: it shows how many events were sent, when the last one went, how many failed, and the reason for the last failure.
- You can also send a person to this connector from inside an automation: in the Flow Builder add the step "Send to a connector" and pick it. The step does nothing if the connector is not connected.
Test fails with "answered HTTP 401".
You pasted the API Key or a v4 key. ViralDM needs the v3 API Secret.
Test fails with "answered HTTP 404".
The Form ID is wrong. Copy the number from the form's address again.
