Kit Release Notes

RSS Feeds got a makeover! With its new intuitive design, RSS Feeds is now looking very similar to our regular email editor, with a few extra additions. In particular, you can customise your RSS email with liquid tags: these tags will add dynamic content that will automatically get replaced by the corresponding content in your feed. And the cherry on the cake: you will also be able to preview your post before sending, with the new "Preview" function.

These are great for the link in your bio on social platforms. Think Linktree, but with a full email marketing platform built in for free! Adding links to any landing page is really easy. You have total customization of the links and any other content you want to add.

You can add add social media icons to any landing page. Either use the default platform colours or personalize them to match the look of your page.

Use these with the larger links, a newsletter form, a gallery of images, or your instagram feed.

We’ll be supporting custom HTML in Landing Pages. This powerful feature will provide you with more control and independence when creating and customizing a landing page! (This feature is available for customers on a ConvertKit paid plan).

Creator Pro customers now have the ability to visualize their list broken down by stars (1-5), primarily using engagement data such as opens, clicks and purchases. This feature is designed to provide quick insights into list health at a glance and the ability to segment on it!

You can now add a dynamic Instagram feed to your landing pages! Adding a feed is a great way to show off your recent Instagram posts - click in a paragraph to reveal the plus sign (+) menu on the left, then select 'Instagram Feed' from the list. Try it out on the following landing pages Abbey, Academy (if you want a video), Archer, Belmont, Centennial, and Hudson. 

A picture tells a thousand words, but sometimes one isn't enough to tell the whole story. That's where galleries come in! You can add one by clicking on a paragraph and selecting "gallery" from the content block editor. You'll have the ability to customize the layout, number of columns and crop the images to suit your needs. This feature allows you to show off your work to your audience in a whole new way.

Automations can get quite large and sometimes it may be hard to remember what each part of your automation does, so we've added the ability to add notes inline to help. Now, when you're in a node, you can simply add more details to it with the notes functionality and view it at anytime within the automation - this will be handy for any type of automation!

Now, Creator Pro customers have the ability to filter deliverability graphs by segments! In addition to filtering by email provider (Gmail, Yahoo, etc) you'll be able to dive in and see exactly how one segment is performing, it'll be a game changer when troubleshooting an open rate decline.

Now, you can touch up the images in your emails and opt-ins using our built-in image editor. Quickly make adjustments to your uploaded images in a form or landing page— including cropping, resizing, and adding filters — all from within ConvertKit!

Now you can add videos to your forms & landing pages giving you even more creative freedom beyond the built-in placeholders on your chosen template. We currently support Youtube and Vimeo!

You can now add a "Read this on the web" link to your broadcasts. Simply add:

{{ archive_url }}

To any text as a link and once the broadcast is sent it will link to the public archive page. Note: this only works after sending since that is when the public page is created.

We've just released an enhancement to our import tool where you can now  import your subscribers with all their tags intact! In other words, it's no longer necessary to create a separate CSV per tag.

We've made an enhancement in sequences - anywhere your subscriber list is available within this module (i.e., sequence reporting) you will also be able to perform bulk actions!

To give you more flexibility in creating landing page designs we have integrated with a pattern gallery. This will allow you to choose a more interesting pattern as a background image and allow you to also select pattern color and tiling!

Add an extra layer of security! Now, you and your team members will have the ability to turn on a second authentication token (the first being your password) that can only be accessed through your phone to enter your account.

We've made performance enhancements to our incentive email editor which has made sending faster, 99% of all incentive emails will be delivered in under 30 seconds!

We've released two new free landing page templates. You can customize Ringling for just about anything and try our Pierce if you're looking to build your email list for weekly newsletters or webinars. 

Preview how your future content will be served to your customers on mobile or desktop during the landing page template selection. Simply click on the mobile or desktop buttons in the top right hand corner to see how the content and layout will adjust for the two devices.

You can now create reusable content snippets to use in your emails! Any common ‘blurbs’ that you use are now able to live dynamically as content snippets for easy access & editing.
