By following a few simple steps, you can establish this seamless connection between ConvertKit and My Studio.

Setting Up Onboarding

The first step in connecting ConvertKit to My Studio is to set up the onboarding process. Onboarding allows users to provide their email addresses, which will then be stored as a global variable. This means that once users enter their email address, they will not need to repeat the process for future interactions with the AI.

To set up onboarding, navigate to the onboarding section within My Studio. In this section, Create a new input block to collect the user's email address. Customize the label text to instruct users to provide their email addresses. Once this input block is created, it will serve as a global variable accessible throughout the entire AI's interaction with users.

Adding a Custom Function

To facilitate the integration with ConvertKit, we need to leverage the custom functions feature in My Studio. By adding a custom function, we can connect to external services like Zapier and initiate actions Based on user inputs. In this case, we will use Zapier webhooks to send the collected email addresses from My Studio to ConvertKit.

Within My Studio, navigate to the custom functions section and select the appropriate function. In this case, select the Zapier webhook function and import it into your AI. The function will require configuration, including the Zapier webhook URL. To obtain this URL, head over to Zapier and create a new Zap with a webhook trigger. Copy the webhook URL provided by Zapier and paste it into My Studio's custom function configuration.

Configuring Zapier Webhooks

With the custom function set up in My Studio, we can now configure the Zapier webhook integration. In Zapier, create a new Zap and select webhook as the trigger. Choose the desired event and proceed to configure the webhook.

Once the webhook is set up, copy the webhook URL provided by Zapier. Return to My Studio and paste the webhook URL into the custom function configuration. Additionally, specify the input variable to be sent to Zapier, in this case, the email address collected during onboarding. Once this configuration is complete, save the changes and proceed to test the integration.

Testing the Integration

To ensure the successful integration between My Studio and ConvertKit, it is crucial to test the implementation. Start by triggering the workflow in My Studio and verify that the email address is captured correctly. The custom function will then send the email address to Zapier, which should trigger the corresponding action in ConvertKit, such as adding a tag to the subscriber.

Perform a test by submitting a sample email address through My Studio and monitor the integration flow in Zapier. If everything is configured correctly, the email address should appear in ConvertKit, indicating a successful integration. Repeat the process with different email addresses and verify that each submission is correctly recorded in ConvertKit.

Embedding the AI on a Website
