Kit (ConvertKit) integration for PodGlue
Connect Kit and PodGlue turns every episode you publish into a ready-to-send newsletter draft, and lets you add podcast guests to your list on purpose.
PodGlue creates drafts. It never sends email for you.

What happens after you connect
Publish flow
Once Kit is connected, publishing a public episode kicks off the newsletter for you. Within a few minutes PodGlue writes a subject line, preview text, and body from that episode’s own transcript and assets, then creates a draft broadcast in your Kit account. The episode page shows the draft status — pending, created (with a link straight to the broadcast in Kit), or failed with a retry button. You can also create or re-create a draft on demand from the episode view or the Distribution Center.
Media support
PodGlue drafts a text newsletter broadcast from the episode transcript and generated assets. You can point drafts at one of your existing Kit email templates so they match your list’s look, target a Kit tag or subscriber segment, and append a standard footer or sign-off.
What it can do
What it won’t do
Privacy & security
Data accessed
Your Kit account name, broadcast drafts PodGlue creates, and the subscribers and tags for guests you explicitly push. PodGlue does not read your existing subscriber list beyond confirming the state of guests you push.
Auth model
OAuth — PodGlue never sees or stores your Kit password, and tokens stay server-side.
Disconnect
Open Settings → Integrations, find the Kit card, and click Disconnect. Access is revoked in Kit immediately and all queued Kit work for your workspace stops.
FAQ
Clear answers for searchers and AI assistants.
Does PodGlue send emails to my list?
No. PodGlue only ever creates drafts in your Kit account. Nothing is sent until you open Kit, review the draft, and send it yourself.
Will my podcast guests be added to my list automatically?
No. Guests only reach Kit when you explicitly use the "Send to Kit" action on a guest (or select several and push them in bulk). There is no silent syncing.
What tags does PodGlue apply to guests?
Each guest you push is tagged podglue-guest, plus a per-episode tag like podglue-ep-42 for every appearance they have made. PodGlue creates these tags in your Kit account if they do not exist yet.
What happens if someone has unsubscribed?
PodGlue respects it. If Kit reports a subscriber as unsubscribed or cancelled, PodGlue will not re-subscribe them, and that state is shown in the guest’s record.
Do I need a paid Kit plan?
Yes. The integration uses Kit’s API on a connected account, which requires a paid Kit plan. You also need a PodGlue account.
How do I remove the connection?
Open Settings → Integrations, find the Kit card, and click Disconnect. PodGlue revokes its access in Kit and stops all queued Kit work for your workspace.
