How to automate ConvertKit user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Native SCIM not available

Summary and recommendation

ConvertKit (now Kit) does not support SCIM provisioning or SSO on any plan. This creator-focused email marketing platform relies entirely on manual email invitations for team access, with team member limits based on your plan (Creator plan: 2 members, Creator Pro: unlimited). There's no centralized identity management whatsoever—each team member creates their own login credentials, making it impossible to enforce corporate password policies, track access, or maintain audit trails.

This creates significant compliance and security gaps for organizations using ConvertKit as part of their marketing stack. Without automated provisioning, IT teams must manually track who has access to valuable subscriber data and marketing campaigns. When employees leave, there's no systematic way to revoke access—you're dependent on manual coordination between IT and marketing teams. For companies subject to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar compliance frameworks, this manual process creates unnecessary risk and audit complexity.

The strategic alternative

ConvertKit has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages ConvertKit accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The ConvertKit pricing problem

ConvertKit gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What this means in practice

ConvertKit treats every user as an individual creator account with their own login credentials. Team collaboration happens through:

Manual email invitations
to existing ConvertKit accounts
Separate password management
for each team member
No visibility
into who has access across your organization
No automated offboarding
when employees leave

For organizations with compliance requirements or security policies, this creates significant gaps. There's no way to enforce password policies, require MFA centrally, or audit user access.

Additional constraints

Creator-first architecture
Built for individual creators, not enterprise teams
No roadmap for enterprise features
ConvertKit has shown no indication of adding SSO/SCIM
Limited team slots
Creator plan restricts you to 2 team members total
Manual user lifecycle
All onboarding and offboarding requires manual coordination
Audit trail gaps
No centralized logging of user access or actions

Summary of challenges

  • ConvertKit does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
  • Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What ConvertKit actually offers for identity

ConvertKit (now "Kit") is designed for individual creators and small teams. It has no enterprise identity features whatsoever.

Plan Limitations

PlanTeam MembersIdentity Features
Creator2 team membersEmail invites only
Creator ProUnlimited team membersEmail invites only

Reality check: ConvertKit's team collaboration works like a personal Gmail account with sharing. Each team member creates their own Kit account and gets invited via email. There's no centralized user management, no way to enforce security policies, and no integration with corporate identity systems.

This approach works fine for a blogger and their virtual assistant, but breaks down completely for organizations that need:

Centralized user provisioning/deprovisioning
Role-based access controls
Compliance with identity governance policies
Integration with existing IdP infrastructure

Kit's target market (individual creators, course builders, small creative teams) typically doesn't require enterprise identity management, which explains why these features don't exist.

What IT admins are saying

ConvertKit's creator-focused design leaves IT teams with no centralized identity management options:

  • No SSO integration available - all team members need separate logins
  • Manual user management through email invitations only
  • No way to enforce company authentication policies
  • Team member limits on lower-tier plans create access bottlenecks

Kit/ConvertKit is creator-focused with no enterprise identity features.

The recurring theme

ConvertKit treats every team member as an individual creator rather than part of an organization, forcing IT teams to abandon centralized identity management entirely.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Solo creator or small team (<5 users)Manual email invitations are sufficient
Creative agency with stable teamManual management acceptable, focus on content workflow
Marketing team with frequent contractor changesUse Stitchflow: manual invites create security gaps
Enterprise using Kit for email campaignsUse Stitchflow: compliance requires proper offboarding
Multiple brands/subsidiaries on KitUse Stitchflow: centralized access control essential

The bottom line

Kit (ConvertKit) is built for individual creators and intentionally lacks enterprise identity features—no SSO, no SCIM, just email invitations. For organizations that need proper user lifecycle management and audit trails, Stitchflow bridges the gap with automated provisioning that Kit will never provide.

B2B Revenue Intelligence / ABM

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

6sense, the B2B revenue intelligence platform, has paused SCIM provisioning for new customers until Q4 2026. While existing customers with SCIM enabled can continue using it, new implementations are limited to JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning through SAML SSO. This creates a significant gap for IT teams managing revenue intelligence access, as JIT only creates users on first login and provides minimal attribute mapping (email, first name, last name only). For an enterprise platform with typical pricing of $55,000-$130,000 annually, the absence of automated user lifecycle management is a substantial limitation. The lack of SCIM until Q4 2026 forces IT teams into manual provisioning workflows for a platform handling sensitive revenue data. While SAML SSO handles authentication, it doesn't address user lifecycle events like role changes, department transfers, or offboarding. This creates compliance risks in revenue teams where access to prospect data and sales intelligence must be tightly controlled. The nearly two-year wait for SCIM restoration means organizations implementing 6sense today face manual user management for the foreseeable future.

ActiveCampaign

No SCIM

Marketing Automation / Email

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

ActiveCampaign, the marketing automation platform, does not offer native SCIM provisioning on any plan. While the Enterprise plan ($145+/month) includes SAML 2.0 SSO with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning, this only creates user accounts on first login—there's no automated deprovisioning when employees leave or change roles. New SSO users are automatically added to a generic "SSO Users" group with configurable permissions, but IT teams have no way to programmatically manage user lifecycles or enforce granular access controls based on department or role changes. This creates a significant gap for marketing teams that need to manage access to customer data and campaign tools. When employees leave the company or change departments, their ActiveCampaign access must be manually revoked, creating compliance risks and potential data exposure. The lack of automated deprovisioning means former employees could theoretically retain access to sensitive marketing data and customer information until someone manually removes them from the platform.

Adyen

No SCIM

Payments / Fintech

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Adyen offers SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only through Okta's integration—there's no native SCIM endpoint. This creates a significant vendor lock-in scenario where your provisioning capabilities are entirely dependent on using Okta as your identity provider. Teams using Azure Entra, Google Workspace, or OneLogin are left with manual user management despite Adyen supporting SAML SSO with these platforms. The Okta integration itself requires maintaining a company account (not just a merchant account) and keeping at least one non-SSO admin for troubleshooting, adding operational complexity. For payment platforms handling sensitive financial data, this provisioning gap creates serious compliance risks. Your finance team, payment operations staff, and developers need timely access to process transactions and manage risk controls, but without automated provisioning, you're stuck with manual onboarding that can delay critical payment operations. The requirement to maintain non-SSO admin accounts also creates a security backdoor that compliance auditors will flag.
