What the Kit CLI Can Do
The CLI covers the full Kit.com API surface. The commands you’ll use most often in a newsletter pipeline:
Account and subscriber management:
kit account # Account info and subscriber count
kit subscribers list # All subscribers (paginated)
kit subscribers list --status active # Active subscribers only
kit subscribers get <subscriber-id> # Individual subscriber detailsTags:
kit tags list # All tags with IDs
kit tags subscribers <tag-id> # Subscribers with a specific tagTags are how Kit.com segments your list. “newsletter-auto-buyer” is a tag. “son-paid” is a tag. When someone purchases a product, they get tagged; your sequences and broadcasts target tags rather than the whole list. Understanding your tag structure is foundational to any automation.
Broadcasts:
kit broadcasts list # All broadcasts (drafts and sent)
kit broadcasts get <broadcast-id> # Details for a specific broadcastThe CLI currently supports reading broadcast data. Creating and scheduling broadcasts is handled through the Kit.com API directly, which the pipeline calls via a Claude Code agent with the API credentials configured.
Sequences:
kit sequences list # All sequences with IDsSequences are automated email series — onboarding flows, product drip campaigns, re-engagement series. They run on Kit.com’s scheduler without you touching anything after setup. The CLI lets you audit what sequences exist and how they’re configured without navigating the web dashboard.
Forms:
kit forms list # All opt-in forms with subscriber counts
