How do I add a subscriber to Kit?

Short answer: You can add subscriber in Kit (ConvertKit) by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Kit (ConvertKit) Add Subscriber action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
