InboxGeek integrates with Kit (formerly ConvertKit) so you can grow your list from website traffic you already have and reach subscribers at the moment they are active in their inbox. You keep using Kit for your tags, sequences and automations. InboxGeek adds two services on top: LiveLeads and LiveOpens. There’s no migration and no new email platform to learn.
LiveLeads for Kit: turn anonymous visitors into contacts
Most people who visit your site never fill out a form. Forms usually catch only the 2 to 3% of visitors who choose to fill them out, so the traffic you paid for leaves without a trace.
LiveLeads changes that with one lightweight script in your site header. It identifies visitors who never touch a form, matches them against a compliant identity graph, and validates each email address before it reaches you. InboxGeek reports that LiveLeads identifies 20 to 40% of anonymous US website traffic.
For Kit users, the payoff is what happens next:
- Leads flow into Kit. Source Automations send captured leads to your connected platform, so new contacts can go straight into the automations you already run.
- You choose which leads to send. Filter by time spent on site, by actions such as adding to cart or reaching checkout, and by email validation status. Route different visitors into different sequences.
- You don’t pay twice. Suppression lists filter out contacts you already have. You can also suppress visitors who buy within 15 minutes of arriving.
- Your follow-up gets more personal. Each lead comes with the page URL and date of the visit, so your welcome series can match what they were browsing.
LiveOpens for Kit: send when subscribers are in their inbox
A lot of “inactive” subscribers aren’t really gone. Your email simply reached them at the wrong moment and got buried. LiveOpens fixes the timing.
InboxGeek syncs with the Kit tag you choose. When a subscriber is active in their inbox, InboxGeek adds a tag to that contact. A Kit automation that starts with “is added to a tag” then sends your sequence, so it lands at the top of the inbox while they’re looking. InboxGeek estimates it knows when 40 to 60% of your subscribers are actively engaged in their inbox.
- Your setup stays the same. You keep your tags, sequences and automations in Kit. LiveOpens just triggers the send.
- Your engagement goes up. Reaching people while they’re reading helps you re-engage subscribers you had written off.
- You control the volume. Set a daily event limit (InboxGeek recommends 200 events per day to start) and decide how often the same subscriber can trigger an event again.
- You don’t get duplicates. Pick more than one tag, and InboxGeek filters out duplicate contacts so no one gets several events.
Better together
Use both services and you cover the whole journey. LiveLeads turns anonymous visitors into new contacts in Kit. LiveOpens then times their first emails for the moment they return to their inbox.
Made for creators who organize with tags
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) describes itself as the creator marketing platform. Creators often organize subscribers with tags rather than separate lists, and InboxGeek follows that model. You choose the tags that define your audience. When a subscriber is active, InboxGeek adds a new tag, and a Kit automation that starts with “is added to a tag” delivers your sequence. If you sell courses, products or paid content, LiveLeads helps fill the top of your funnel with people who visited your site without subscribing. Setup uses the API key and API secret from Settings → Developer (V3 Key section).
How to connect Kit to InboxGeek
- Pick LiveLeads, LiveOpens or both. See the current offers on the LiveLeads and LiveOpens pages, then create your InboxGeek account.
- Add ConvertKit as a platform (the InboxGeek platform list still uses that label). You’ll need your Kit API key and API secret (Settings → Developer (V3 Key section)). See Adding a Platform: Kit.
- For LiveOpens: follow the Kit guide: Getting Started, List, Integration, Create an Automation.
- For LiveLeads: create a source, place your script, then set up Source Automations to send leads to Kit.
Kit integration FAQs
Do I have to leave Kit?
No. InboxGeek works with your existing Kit (formerly ConvertKit) account. You connect it, choose your tag, and build one automation.
What does InboxGeek need from Kit?
Your Kit V3 API key and API secret from Settings → Developer (not a V4 key). In InboxGeek, paste them into the API Secret and API key/Token fields.
Will InboxGeek send emails for me?
No. Kit still sends every email. LiveOpens tells Kit when a subscriber is active, and your automation sends the email you chose.
How big should my list be for LiveOpens?
InboxGeek recommends at least 30,000 contacts tagged. Lists under 15,000 are unlikely to show results.
Is LiveLeads compliant?
LiveLeads uses a compliant, opted-in identity graph and validates every address. See LiveLeads & Compliancy for details.
