From the official readme · v1.2.3

Description

LeadCrafter – Grand Slam Lead Magnets is the efficient multi-service platform for creators focusing on high-value lead acquisition. Stop building generic “forms” and start crafting Grand Slam Lead Magnets that build trust and authority.

Designed for marketers, course creators, and developers who value simplicity and high-conversion logic, LeadCrafter lets you deploy value-first lead captures with multiple email service integrations, starting with Kit.com (ConvertKit).

  • 🛡️ Data Resilience: Automatic fallback system ensures you never lose a lead, even if the API hiccups.

External services

This plugin connects to the Kit.com (ConvertKit) API to subscribe users to your email list. This integration is essential for the plugin’s core functionality of capturing leads and adding them to your email marketing platform.

What data is sent

  • Form ID – Your Kit.com form identifier (configured in plugin settings)
  • Custom fields – Any additional fields you have configured (optional)

When data is sent

Data is sent to the Kit.com API only when a visitor voluntarily submits their email through a LeadCrafter form on your website. No data is sent without explicit user action.
