How to connect Hello Bar to ConvertKit (Kit)

Q: How do you connect ConvertKit / Kit?

In Hello Bar, go to Contacts → New Contact List . Click Show All Tools . Select ConvertKit and click Connect . In Kit (ConvertKit), open Account Settings and click Show Secret API . Copy the API secret, paste it into the Hello Bar list, and click Connect . Either attach the list to a ConvertKit form and add a tag, or click Done to add the address to the ConvertKit email list only. Use that Hello Bar contact list on the campaigns that should feed Kit. Kit has rotated API styles since 2024. If "Show Secret API" is gone, look in Kit's developer / API settings for the v3 API secret Hello Bar still expects. Hello Bar has not published a v4 walkthrough.

Hello Bar still lists ConvertKit on its integrations directory as of 23 August 2026. ConvertKit rebranded to Kit. Hello Bar's UI and help article have not. The steps below follow How to sync your emails with ConvertKit (modified 9 February 2024).

Whether a Kit v4 API key works. The help article is from February 2024 and still says "Show Secret API."
Plan gating. Email integrations are labelled Basic / Advanced / Premium on the 2026 pricing grid.

Vendor help: support article, ConvertKit page. Other ESPs: Hello Bar integrations.
