FAQ

Questions about Add Subscriber.

What does the Add Subscriber action do in Kit (ConvertKit)?

Adds a subscriber with email, name, custom fields, optional starting tags. Respects the list's configured double-opt-in setting. For "form submission outside Kit → push to Kit list" sync workflows.

What inputs does Add Subscriber require?

Required: Email. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Kit (ConvertKit) returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Add Subscriber support batch operations?

Yes. Run Add Subscriber inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Kit (ConvertKit)'s rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
