1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for ConvertKit and Gmail Integration

To automate the process of sending emails for new unsubscribes in ConvertKit, you will first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to create workflows that connect various applications, in this case, ConvertKit and Gmail. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect and log in to reach the dashboard.

Once you are on the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will need to name your workflow, such as ‘ConvertKit to Gmail’. After naming, click on ‘Create’ to proceed. This will open a new workflow with trigger and action windows, where you will set up the integration.

2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window of your workflow, you will need to select Pabbly Connect as the trigger application. Search for ‘ConvertKit’ and choose it. Then, select the trigger event as ‘New Unsubscribe’ from the dropdown menu. This event will capture details whenever a subscriber opts out of your email list.

• Choose ConvertKit as the application.
• Select ‘New Unsubscribe’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and add a new connection.

To connect your ConvertKit account, you will need to enter your API key and API secret. You can find these by going to your ConvertKit account settings. Once you have entered the API details into Pabbly Connect, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is successful. This action will allow Pabbly Connect to capture unsubscribe details from ConvertKit.

3. Testing the Unsubscribe Trigger

After setting up the trigger, it is essential to test the unsubscribe action to ensure everything is working correctly. You can do this by unsubscribing a test email from your ConvertKit list. Once the test user unsubscribes, Pabbly Connect should receive a response with the unsubscribe details.

To perform the test, go to your ConvertKit account, find the test email, and click the unsubscribe button. After unsubscribing, check Pabbly Connect to see if it captured the unsubscribe data, which includes the subscriber’s name and email address. This confirms that the trigger is functioning as expected.

4. Setting Up the Action to Send Emails via Gmail

Now that you have verified the trigger, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. In the action window, search for ‘Gmail’ and select it as the application. Choose the action event as ‘Send Email’. Click on ‘Connect’ and authorize your Gmail account to allow Pabbly Connect to send emails on your behalf.

• Select Gmail as the action application.
• Choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event.
• Authorize your Gmail account.

In the email setup, you will need to fill in the recipient’s email address, which you can map from the unsubscribe data captured earlier. Set the subject line and body of the email. You can personalize the message by including the subscriber’s name. After configuring the email, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the email is sent successfully.

5. Final Verification of the Workflow

Once you have tested the email action, it is crucial to verify that the entire workflow is functioning correctly. Check the Gmail account of the test subscriber to see if the unsubscribe confirmation email has been received. The email should contain the subscriber’s name and a message confirming their unsubscription.

This verification step ensures that every time a user unsubscribes from your ConvertKit list, Pabbly Connect successfully sends a confirmation email through Gmail. This automation saves you time and maintains a positive relationship with your subscribers.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect to automate the sending of unsubscribe emails in ConvertKit is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can ensure that your subscribers receive a confirmation email when they unsubscribe, enhancing your communication strategy.
