What is a Kit (ConvertKit) incentive email?

It is the email Kit sends right after someone signs up through a form. It asks them to confirm their subscription and can deliver your lead magnet as a download or send them to a page of your choice after they confirm.

The incentive email does double duty: it confirms the address and delivers the freebie. That makes it a neat fit for lead magnets.

Using it with an outside opt-in page

When Magnetbrief syncs a subscriber to Kit, it adds them to the Kit form you choose. That form’s settings, including any incentive email, then apply, so you can let Kit send the PDF too, or rely on the download shown on the Magnetbrief page.
