ConvertKit (Kit) Subscribers Not Showing Up on List
Quick answer
Kit requires double opt-in by default, so new signups (including from Zapier or Facebook leads) stay unconfirmed until they click the email. Auto-confirm in the form's Incentive Email settings to add them immediately.
Most likely fix: Auto-confirm new subscribers
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Auto-confirm new subscribers
- Open Form settings and click Incentive Email
- Select auto-confirm new members at the bottom (only if the signups are consented, e.g. via an outside tool)
