Connect Kit (ConvertKit) to Keepsake

Keepsake has a built-in email letter that already lets readers subscribe to your Keepsake Page. But if you already grow your audience with Kit (formerly ConvertKit), you can connect it in one click. Once connected, your page subscribers flow into your Kit account, and your published posts go out as Kit broadcasts — sent by Kit, from your own sender. You keep one audience, in the tool you already use.

Connect your Kit account

The whole connection happens from inside Keepsake — you don't need to find anything in Kit's app store.
1

Open your email settings

Go to Settings → Email letter. At the top, you'll see a Provider dropdown: Keepsake (default) or ConvertKit (Kit).

2

Choose ConvertKit

Switch the provider to ConvertKit (Kit). The native Keepsake panel is replaced by the Kit panel.

3

Click “Connect Kit”

A secure Kit authorization page opens in your browser. Log in to your Kit account and approve access. No password is ever shared with Keepsake — it's a standard OAuth sign-in, like “Sign in with Google.”

4

You're connected

Back in Keepsake, the panel shows “Kit account connected.” No Kit account yet? Create one here first, then connect.

Tip

If you've installed Keepsake as an app on your phone or Mac, the connection opens in your normal browser. Just come back to Keepsake after approving — the status updates on its own.

Your subscribers flow into Kit

Once connected, Keepsake makes sure your readers end up in your Kit account, tagged so you can target them precisely.
1

A “Keepsake” tag is created

On first connect, Keepsake finds or creates a tag named Keepsake in your account. Every subscriber Keepsake adds is tagged with it — so your newsletter only ever targets these people, never your whole Kit list.

2

Import your existing subscribers

If you already have subscribers on your Keepsake Page, the panel shows “Import X subscribers into Kit”. One click adds them all to Kit, tagged. They're confirmed opt-ins, so they carry over cleanly.

3

New subscribers sync automatically

From then on, anyone who subscribes on your page and confirms their email is added to Kit and tagged — automatically, in the background.

4

Your list stays yours

Subscribers live in your own Kit account. Unsubscribes are handled by Kit. Keepsake never touches contacts outside the “Keepsake” tag, and you can still export from Keepsake at any time.

Tip

Run the import once, right after connecting. After that, you can forget about it — new subscribers flow in on their own.

Configure how your newsletter sends

From the same panel, you decide exactly how and when Keepsake sends your posts through Kit.
1

Frequency and day

Weekly (pick the day) or Daily. The newsletter goes out automatically at a fixed time each day; weekly profiles only send on the day you chose.

2

Content: excerpt or full

Excerpt sends a short preview with a “Read more” link to your page (great for driving traffic). Full sends the whole post in the email.

3

Kit template and tag

Pick which of your Kit email templates wraps the newsletter (or keep Kit's default), and which tag to target (default: Keepsake).

4

Send mode: scheduled or draft

Scheduled creates the broadcast and schedules it after a short safety delay (e.g. 30 min). Draft creates it in Kit but never sends on its own — you review and send it yourself.

5

A heads-up email before each send

In scheduled mode, Keepsake emails you a preview with a link to the Kit draft. You have the whole delay to review, tweak, or cancel it in Kit before it goes out.

Tip

New to this? Start with Draft mode. You'll see exactly what would be sent inside Kit, with zero risk of an email going out before you're ready.

Send a single post on demand

Most posts wait for your regular newsletter. But when you want one piece to go out right away, you can send it on its own.
1

Right after publishing

When you publish a post, the “Published 🎉” window offers “Send to subscribers”. One click creates the broadcast for that single post.

2

On an already-published post

An email button also appears on published posts — in your notes list and in the note editor — so you can send an older post whenever you like.

3

No duplicates, ever

The button is hidden once a post has been emailed (in a newsletter or on its own). A post that already went out is automatically excluded from the next newsletter, while your other unsent posts still get included.

Tip

Use a one-off send for an announcement or a flagship article. Let everything else ride along in the regular newsletter — your subscribers prefer one steady letter to a stream of pings.

Keepsake or Kit: who sends your newsletter

You always have exactly one sender. The Provider dropdown decides which.
1

ConvertKit selected

Kit sends your newsletter (broadcasts to your Keepsake-tagged subscribers). Keepsake's native digest is turned off, so there's never a double send.

2

Keepsake selected

The built-in Keepsake letter sends your newsletter again. Your Kit account stays connected — it's just not the active sender.

3

Switching is safe

When you change provider, Keepsake asks you to confirm — a clear reminder that it disables the other one. Nothing is deleted; you can switch back anytime.

Tip

Connected to Kit but want a break from Kit? Switch the provider back to Keepsake. The native letter takes over instantly, no reconnection needed.
