Try the new Kit navigation

Improvement

We've redesigned the navigation to make it easier to move through Kit. Creators in testing found what they needed 40% faster!

What's changed

The new vertical navigation is cleaner and more intuitive, with a collapsible sidebar so you can focus when you need to. A few things got renamed and reorganized to make them easy to find:

  • Subscribers, Broadcasts, and Apps are now one click away
  • Grow is now Audience growth
  • Earn is now Monetization
  • Automate is now Automation — and Email sequences now live here too
  • Templates and Snippets are now accessible from Broadcasts and Email sequences

You can try the new navigation today. If you’re not ready yet, you can switch back to the old navigation from your account menu.

'Creator profile' is now called 'Newsletter site'

Improvement

Newsletter site better describes what the feature actually does—a place for your newsletter to live on the web, where readers can browse your posts, find your products, and discover your work beyond the inbox.

We've recently added post categories and improved the publishing flow, so it's never been easier to build your newsletter site.

Engagement analytics

Feature

Open rates tell you what happened. Engagement Analytics tells you how your subscribers interact with your content. The new analytics dashboard in Kit gives you a deeper view of how your subscribers engage over time—who's staying active, who's going dormant, and where your best subscribers are actually coming from.

  • Audience engagement breakdown: See who's newly engaged, recurring, or going dark, week over week
  • Cohort retention table: Track how engagement holds up in the weeks after someone first subscribes
  • Attribution breakdowns: Trace your most engaged subscribers back to the source: form, channel, or referrer

Advanced charts and filtering are Pro-only. Explore the new engagement analytics now.

Send SMS with SlickText

Feature

You can now trigger text messages directly from your Kit workflows.

The SlickText app for Kit syncs your contacts automatically and adds SMS as an action node inside Visual Automations, so you can send a time-sensitive promo, fire an event reminder, or follow up with subscribers who didn't open, all from the same place you run everything else.

Install the SlickText app from the Kit App Store. New SlickText users get 25% off.

Abandoned checkout with Fourthwall, Wix, Shopify

Feature

Turn abandoned checkouts into recovered sales automatically.

When a shopper enters their email at checkout and leaves without buying, Kit triggers a recovery sequence with their exact cart already in the email: product name, image, and price pulled in automatically, no setup required. Built-in "recovered" and "lost" tags show what the sequence is earning and who to target next.

Install apps and setup your automations now.

Your Patreon segmented in Kit

Feature

Connect Patreon and your entire audience syncs into Kit automatically, tagged by tier. Visual Automations triggers fire on membership joins and cancellations, so welcome sequences, win-back flows, and tier-specific emails go out without any manual work.
