Export subscribers with tags and location data

Your email list is one of the most valuable pieces of your business and is worth backing up regularly. We have now added tags and location data (city, state and country) to all subscriber exports to make it even easier to organise your list outside of ConvertKit. You can easily export your email list from ConvertKit at any time, using a bulk action.

"Unsubscribe" action in Automations

Feature

We have added a new action to Automations that allows you to automatically unsubscribe subscribers! Any subscriber who reaches this step in your Automation will be unsubscribed from your email list. This new feature will significantly help creators when cleaning up their list as they can now create fully-fledged re-engagement automations.

Autosave for sequences

Feature

Now any changes you make to your sequence will be automatically saved, so you never lose your hard work again! 

Our autosave flow allows for all of your in-progress changes to be maintained for safekeeping, while still leaving you in full control over the content contained in the live version of your sequence at any given point. You can proofread, send yourself preview emails, and experiment with different content at your own pace within ConvertKit. It also means there won't be any interruptions from your subscribers' perspectives — all they'll ever see is the finalized versions of your emails!

Split paths in Automations

Feature

Automations can get extremely complex when you need to send a subscriber down more than two "Yes/No" branches. To solve this problem, we have added split paths to condition nodes, allowing you to have more than two branches per condition based on a custom field or a tag. This will significantly simplify and shorten your Automations!
