When does Kit fire on form subscribers?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Kit (ConvertKit) Form Subscribed trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a Kit (ConvertKit) webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

How does the Form Subscribed trigger work in Kit (ConvertKit)?

Fires when a new subscriber confirms opt-in via a specific Kit form (after double-opt-in completes if enabled). Payload includes the subscriber with custom fields and the form they subscribed via. Scope to a single form ID at trigger setup.

Is the Form Subscribed trigger real-time?

What data does Form Subscribed return?

The full event payload from Kit (ConvertKit). The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
