Kit + JustCast
JustCast is happy to announce our new Kit integration, which allows our Private Podcast hosts to access automated email marketing services directly through JustCast.
Kit is a fantastic email marketing service that offers custom marketing options and email automation to help you run your private podcast effortlessly. Through JustCast’s Kit integration, you can easily add and remove listeners to your feeds by pulling your Kit subscribers into your JustCast private podcast feed.
For example, someone purchases your course. Kit sends them an automated email with a custom link to your private podcast feed inside an email template you designed. They receive this email directly from you, and you don’t have to lift a finger.
After setting up your Kit and JustCast integration, your listeners gain automated access to your podcast, which improves their workflow and yours. When adding a listener, you also have the choice to notify them automatically through either JustCast or Kit.
Alternately, when someone leaves your membership, their unique link in JustCast can be disabled automatically with this integration.

- Go to the Kit App Store and scroll to find the JustCast app.
- Click "Install" to begin the setup.
