Convertkit API: Using Forms vs Tags

This article shows you the difference between subscribing people to Forms vs Tags. To make sure things work correctly, you want to subscribe people through Forms, not Tags.

When you're subscribing people to Convertkit through the API, you want to use a form over a tag.

That's because:

  • People who are subscribed through a Form will be activated (even if they have unsubscribed before).
  • People who are subscribed through a Tag will remain unsubscribed (if they have unsubscribed before).

If all you need is to add a tag, then the simplest way is to create a dummy form and subscribe people through that form.

It's not ideal, but it works.
