You can use one form and tags for every new member and a different form and tags for each Membership, so your ConvertKit sequences and broadcasts reach the right audience. This guide switches the add-on on, connects your ConvertKit account with an API key and secret, chooses forms and tags and shows when a member is sent to ConvertKit. Before you start - The **ConvertKit Integration** add-on is installed and active. It's a Pro add-on, included in the Full Package and Agency plans. See [Install a Pro add-on](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/install-pro-add-ons/). - Your license is active. See [Find and activate your license key](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/where-to-find-your-license-key/). - A ConvertKit account with at least one form and one tag. In ConvertKit, create the tag in the Subscribers list and the form under Landing pages & forms. - Your Memberships exist. See [Create your first Membership](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/step-2-create-levelssubscriptions/). ## Switch on the add-on 1. Go to Ultimate Membership Pro*›*Modules and open the **ConvertKit Integration** card. 2. Switch on **Activate/Hold ConvertKit Integration** and click Save Changes.

Leave “...” if you only want the forms of your Memberships. 3Default Tags The tags added to the subscriber when they register. They are also used for a Membership that has no tags of its own. 4Form for Under **Custom Forms And Tags Based On Levels**. The form that buyers of this Membership are signed up to. 5Tags for The tags added to buyers of this Membership. When none is ticked, the Default Tags are used. ## When a member is sent to ConvertKit A new member registersDefault Form and a Default Tag set The member is signed up to the Default Form with the Default Tags. A payment for a Membership is completedForm for the Membership set The member is signed up to the form of that Membership with its tags (or the Default Tags). This also happens when you set an order to Completed in the admin. A form and at least one tag are needed each time; without both, nothing is sent. The add-on adds subscribers only: it doesn't remove them from ConvertKit when a Membership ends. What is sent - The email address, first name and last name. - The member's other registration form fields, with the field label as the name. Passwords, the email confirmation, the terms checkbox, reCAPTCHA, social login and the dynamic price are left out. Default Form and per-Membership forms together If you set a Default Form and also a form for a Membership, a buyer is signed up to both: the Default Form at registration and the Membership's form after the payment. To use only the Membership forms, leave Default Form empty. ## Example: a form and tag for each plan **Coaching Club**Everyone joins the welcome form; paid plans get their own form and tag. **Activate/Hold ConvertKit Integration** : On **Default Form / Default Tags** : Coaching Club Welcome / coaching-club **Form for Free Community** : ... **Form for Pro Monthly / Tags** : Pro Members Onboarding / pro-monthly **Form for Annual Pass / Tags** : Annual Pass Onboarding / annual-pass ## Learn more about ConvertKit Integration - [ConvertKit Integration add-on page](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/addon/convertkit-integration/): what it does, at a glance. - [All Pro add-ons for Ultimate Membership Pro](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/pro-addons/). - [Ultimate Membership Pro plans](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/pricing/): Pro add-ons come with the Full Package and Agency plans. - [Kit (ConvertKit) API key and secret](https://developers.kit.com/api-reference/v3/authentication). ## Troubleshooting The forms and tags don't appear. What should I do? Check that the API Key and API Secret are correct and saved, then click Refresh Forms and Tags. The lists come from your ConvertKit account, so it needs at least one form and one tag. Why isn't a new member signed up to ConvertKit? Check that the add-on switch is on and saved, and that a Default Form and at least one Default Tag are chosen. Without both, nothing is sent at registration. Why isn't a buyer signed up to the form of their Membership? Choose a form under Form for and save. A payment for that Membership must also be completed. The tags come from Tags for , or from the Default Tags when none is ticked. Do I need both a Default Form and forms for each Membership? No. Use only the Default Form to send every registration to one form, or leave it empty and set forms for the Memberships you care about. Are members removed from ConvertKit when their Membership expires? No. The add-on signs members up; it doesn't remove them. Manage unsubscribes and segments inside ConvertKit. How do I send different emails to members of one Membership in Ultimate Membership Pro? Give that Membership its own tag (and form) under Custom Forms And Tags Based On Levels, then target that tag in ConvertKit. ## What's next [**Collect newsletter subscribers (Opt-In)**The built-in newsletter services.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/how-to-activate-optin-subscriptions/)[**Add members to Mailchimp audiences (MailChimp Pro)**Audiences per Membership with MailChimp Pro.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/mailchimp-pro/)[**Add custom fields to the registration form**Fields that are sent along to ConvertKit.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/add-custom-fields/)[**Set up email notifications**The emails Ultimate Membership Pro sends itself.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/how-to-send-notifications/)
