What the Dashboard Is Still Good For
The CLI covers everything you need for pipeline automation. It’s not a replacement for the dashboard for everything.
The Kit.com visual sequence builder is genuinely good. Setting up a new onboarding sequence from scratch is faster in the UI than constructing it via API calls. Same with the broadcast email editor when you want to check how something renders before scheduling.
The rule I use: if it’s a recurring automated action (schedule a broadcast, check subscriber growth, verify a tag), it goes through the CLI. If it’s a one-off setup task (build a new sequence, redesign an email template), the dashboard is faster.
