Connect Kit (you may still know it as ConvertKit) and MokonyxSocial will send your content out as an email broadcast to your subscribers through the Kit API. Just so you know, this is an email connector — broadcasts go to your confirmed subscribers, and how much you can send depends on your Kit plan.
What you need
- A Kit account (
https://kit.com/, formerly ConvertKit). - Your account API Secret — the write-capable key, not the public API Key.
Get your credentials
API secret api_secret (required)
Kit gives you two credentials: a public API Key that can only read, and an API Secret that can actually create and send broadcasts. You want the API Secret. To get it, sign in to Kit and open Settings → Advanced → API (https://app.kit.com/account_settings/advanced_settings — older accounts may see app.convertkit.com). Copy the API Secret value and treat it like a password. Paste the raw secret in.
Set it up in MokonyxSocial
- In Joomla admin, go to Components → MokonyxSocial → Services → New.
- Choose Kit (ConvertKit).
- Enter the credentials above.
- Click Send Test to check it, then Save & Close and make sure it's Published.
Verify
Once Send Test succeeds, open Kit and check Broadcasts for the new one, and confirm a test subscriber received it. Then publish a Joomla article and watch the broadcast go out.
Troubleshooting
- 401 Unauthorized? You probably used the read-only API Key — grab the API Secret from Settings → Advanced → API instead.
- Broadcast created but never sent? Check whether your account needs a manual send confirmation or a verified sending domain.
- No recipients? The broadcast isn't aimed at a segment or tag that has confirmed subscribers.
- Rate limited? Kit throttles requests, so don't fire off rapid repeat publishes.
Notes & limits
- The API Secret unlocks write access to your whole account — keep it private and rotate it if it ever leaks.
- Your Kit plan sets sending and subscriber limits.
- Broadcasts only reach confirmed subscribers; unconfirmed ones are skipped.
- Email content supports HTML; keep images on absolute public URLs.
