Connect Kit (formerly ConvertKit) to Keepsake
Keepsake already has its own email letter: readers subscribe to your Keepsake Page and receive your new posts. If you already have a list in Kit (formerly ConvertKit), your Page can plug into it. Readers who subscribe to your Page are added to your Kit account, and your letter goes out from Kit, with your own Kit template. By default, nothing goes out until you have reviewed it.
Connect your Kit account
Open “Letter and subscribers”
Open Settings, then, in the Keepsake Page group, click Letter and subscribers.
Choose Kit on the “Who sends the letter” line
The first line, Who sends the letter, offers two choices: Keepsake and Kit. Click Kit. A Kit account card appears right below.
Click “Connect Kit”
Kit opens in your browser. Log in to your Kit account and allow Keepsake. You never give your Kit password to Keepsake.
Come back to Keepsake
Back in Settings, the status updates on its own and the card reads Account connected. No Kit account yet? Create one first, then come back and connect.
Tip
There is no “Save” button on this screen: each setting is saved as soon as you click it.
Who is added to Kit, and who is not
Your contacts stay in Keepsake
The contacts you keep in Keepsake are private. They never go to Kit, and neither do your notes about them or your exchanges with them.
Only your Page's subscribers are added
A reader is added to your Kit account when they subscribe to your Keepsake Page and confirm their email address by clicking the link they receive. Until they confirm, nothing is sent to Kit.
They carry the “Keepsake” tag
In Kit, every subscriber added by Keepsake gets a tag, named Keepsake by default and created automatically. That tag is what decides who receives your letter.
“Add to Kit” catches up subscribers who already confirmed
If readers subscribed to your Page before you connected, the Kit account card says so on the Subscribers to add to Kit line. Click Add to Kit: they are added with the same tag. From then on, new subscribers are added on their own, as soon as they confirm.
The form stays on your Page
Your readers keep subscribing through the form on your Keepsake Page. If that form is hidden, the screen tells you: click Show the form.
Tip
Unsubscribes are handled by Kit. A reader who unsubscribes from a letter sent by Kit unsubscribes from your whole Kit account, not only from your Page: that is how Kit works.
Nothing goes out without you: draft or automatic sending
Draft to review (the default)
Keepsake prepares a draft in Kit and emails you, with a link to that draft. Nothing goes out until you send it yourself from Kit. You can review it, edit it, or decide not to send it.
Send automatically
If you would rather not have to approve each letter, choose Send automatically: the letter goes out on its own.
Delay before sending
With automatic sending, a Delay before sending line appears: none, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes (30 by default). With a delay, Keepsake emails you when the letter is ready, and you can still edit or cancel it in Kit before it goes out. With no delay, it goes out right away, with no heads-up email.
Tip
Keep “Draft to review” for your first letters: you will see in Kit exactly what your subscribers would receive.
When the letter is prepared, and what it contains
Every week or every day
On the Frequency line, choose Weekly or Daily. With a weekly letter, the Day line lets you pick the day of the week.
Late morning, Paris time
The letter is prepared late in the morning, Paris time. The screen shows the exact window in your own timezone, for example “Prepared every Monday, between 11:00 and 12:00”. With automatic sending and a delay, it also tells you when the letter goes out.
Only when there is something new
If you have published nothing new since the last letter, Keepsake prepares nothing: no draft, no email. A post that already went out in a letter is never included again in the next one.
Excerpt or full text
On the Email content line: Excerpt sends an excerpt of each post with a link to your Page; Full sends the whole text in the email.
Your Kit template
On the Kit template line, pick one of your Kit email templates, or keep Kit default template.
Tip
There is no separate send for a single note: each post goes out in the next letter.
Who receives the letter: the subscriber tag
Keep the “Keepsake” tag
By default, this tag is called Keepsake and only holds the readers who subscribed to your Page. It is the right choice in almost every case: your letter goes to the people who asked for it, and to nobody else.
Beware of a tag that holds your whole list
If you pick a tag that holds your whole Kit list, your whole list will receive your Page's letter, including people who never subscribed to it. Check in Kit who has a tag before choosing it here.
Tip
Not sure? Leave the tag on “Keepsake”. You can always change it later.
Keepsake or Kit: one sender at a time
Kit
Kit sends your letter to the people who have the chosen tag. Keepsake's own letter stops.
Keepsake
The Keepsake letter takes over again. Your Kit account stays connected, but it no longer sends anything.
Switching asks you to confirm
When your Kit account is connected, Keepsake asks you to confirm each change of sender. Nothing is deleted: you can switch back at any time.
Disconnecting Kit
The Disconnect button removes Keepsake's access to your Kit account. If Kit was sending your letter, Keepsake sends it again. Subscribers already added to Kit stay there.
Tip
Connected to Kit but want a break? Switch the sender back to Keepsake. No need to reconnect when you return.
