TL;DR

  • ListKit can trigger events (Positive Replies, Replies, Out of Office, Unsubscribes, and more) that flow into Zapier, then into your CRM.

  • Connect Zapier from the Integrations tab to get your ListKit API Key.

  • Use that API Key inside Zapier to build a Zap that sends the event data into your CRM.

  • This is fully self-serve — no need to contact support to set it up.


When you'd use this / Why it matters

If you want reply data, unsubscribes, or other engagement events automatically synced into your CRM — instead of manually checking and entering it — connecting through Zapier is the fastest way to make that happen.


Step 1: Get your ListKit API Key

  1. Log into your ListKit account

  2. From the left-side menu, click Integrations

  3. Click Connect next to Zapier

  4. Your Zapier API Key is displayed

  5. Click Copy (or Copy key) to copy it

You'll paste this key into Zapier in the next step. See "How do I use Zapier with ListKit?" for the full Zapier-side setup.


Step 2: Choose which events to send

Once connected, you can select which ListKit events should trigger your Zap, including:

  • Positive Replies

  • Replies

  • Out of Office (OOO)

  • Unsubscribes

  • And more

Pick the event type that matches what you want reflected in your CRM (for example, Positive Replies for sales follow-up, or Unsubscribes to keep your CRM list clean).


Step 3: Route the event into your CRM via Zapier

  1. Inside Zapier, use your ListKit API Key to connect ListKit as a trigger

  2. Choose your event type (e.g., Positive Replies)

  3. Set your action app to your CRM (HubSpot, Close, Salesforce, or any Zapier-supported CRM)

  4. Map the fields you want passed into your CRM

  5. Publish your Zap

TL;DR

  • Zapier connects ListKit events — Positive Replies, Replies, Out of Office, Unsubscribes, and more — to Slack, CRMs, email, Google Sheets, and any other Zapier-supported tool.

  • Get your ListKit API Key from the Integrations tab, then use it inside Zapier to build your automation.

  • This entire setup is self-serve — no need to contact support.

  • Once published, your Zap runs automatically with no further setup inside ListKit.


When you'd use this / Why it matters

Use Zapier when you want to automate what happens after an event occurs in ListKit — notifying your team, creating CRM records, or logging data — without manually checking for it.


Step 1: Get your ListKit API Key

  1. Log into your ListKit account

  2. From the left-side menu, click Integrations

  3. Click Connect next to Zapier

  4. Copy your Zapier API Key from the panel that appears


Step 2: Sign up for Zapier


Step 3: Create a new Zap

  1. In Zapier, click Create

  2. Select Zaps


Step 4: Add your trigger

  1. Click the Trigger step

  2. Search for ListKit

  3. Connect your account using the API Key you copied in Step 1


Step 5: Choose your trigger event

Select which ListKit event should start your Zap:

  • Positive Replies

  • Replies

  • Out of Office (OOO)

  • Unsubscribes

  • And more


Step 6: Test the trigger

  • Click Test Trigger

  • Confirm sample data comes through from ListKit


Step 7: Choose where the data should go

Common action apps include:

  • Slack (channel or DM)

  • CRM (HubSpot, Close, Salesforce, etc.)

  • Email

  • Google Sheets

Set up the action, map the fields you want from the trigger, and connect the destination tool when prompted.


Step 8: Publish your Zap

  1. Review your workflow

  2. Click Publish

🎉 Your automation is now live.


What happens after setup

Once live:

  • Your selected event (e.g., Positive Replies) triggers the Zap automatically

  • Zapier instantly sends data to Slack, your CRM, email, or any Zapier-supported tool

  • No further setup is required inside ListKit


Common automation examples

  • Speed-to-lead workflows — instantly notify sales when a positive reply comes in

  • Slack alerts — post replies or unsubscribes directly into a team channel

  • Auto-creating CRM records — automatically log new contacts or update existing ones

  • List hygiene — automatically remove unsubscribes from other tools


Expected outcome

You should now be able to:

  • Get your ListKit API Key and connect it inside Zapier

  • Choose from multiple event types to trigger your automation

  • Route data to Slack, a CRM, or any Zapier-supported tool

  • Set up the entire workflow yourself, with no support involvement needed
