Teachable Integrations in 2026: What Connects, What to Set Up First

/ / / / / / / /

Teachable integrates natively with over 20 third-party tools covering email marketing, analytics, video conferencing, community, and automation. The most important integration for most course creators is Kit (formerly ConvertKit) for email, which connects without Zapier and triggers automations from enrolment events. Zapier extends reach to 3,000+ additional apps. Every tracking pixel (Meta, Google, TikTok) installs directly in Teachable without a developer. This guide covers every native Teachable integration, which ones are worth setting up, and where to start.

Email Marketing Integrations

Email is where the money is for most Teachable schools. Teachable integrates natively with five email platforms, meaning no Zapier required for enrolment-triggered automations.

Kit (formerly ConvertKit)

Kit is the most used email tool among Teachable course creators and the only major platform with a native, no-Zapier integration. When a student enrolls in or purchases a course, Teachable notifies Kit automatically. You can then tag them by course, add them to a welcome sequence, or remove them from a sales sequence.

Setup takes about ten minutes: grab your Kit API key and secret from Kit Settings > Advanced, then paste both into Teachable’s App Hub under the ConvertKit integration. Once connected, create rules in Kit (Automations > Rules) using the Teachable purchase trigger.

Kit’s free Newsletter plan supports the integration. The Creator plan (from $29/mo annual) adds full automations and removes subscriber limits.

ActiveCampaign

ActiveCampaign connects via Zapier rather than a native integration. Better suited to schools with complex CRM needs or those already deep in the ActiveCampaign ecosystem. If you are starting fresh, Kit’s native integration saves you a Zapier subscription.

AWeber

AWeber integrates with Teachable natively. Less commonly used by course creators than Kit or Mailchimp, but functional for schools already on AWeber.

Mailchimp

Mailchimp connects via Zapier. Widely used but not course-creator-specific. The Zapier dependency adds cost and one more thing to maintain. Kit’s free plan is the simpler choice for new Teachable schools.

MailerLite

MailerLite connects via Zapier. Good value for simpler needs, but again requires Zapier for Teachable triggers. Native Kit integration wins on simplicity.

Email Tool Comparison for Teachable Schools

Kit is the only tool with a native (no-Zapier) Teachable integration and a free plan that supports it. For most new Teachable schools, that makes it the default choice.

Automation: Zapier

Zapier is not a direct tool but a connector. It links Teachable to 3,000+ apps that do not have native integrations. Common Teachable-Zapier setups include:

• Sending a Slack message when a new student enrolls
• Adding a student to a Google Sheet on purchase
• Creating a Trello card for each new enrollment
• Logging sales to a spreadsheet or Airtable base

Zapier plans start from $19.99/mo. If you are only connecting Teachable to Kit, you do not need Zapier. If you need five or more custom connections, it pays for itself.

Marketing Tools

Deadline Funnel

Deadline Funnel creates real countdown timers tied to individual users, not just a fixed date everyone sees. Useful for Teachable schools running evergreen launches where you want each new subscriber to see a personalised deadline. Integrates via Zapier or webhook. Starts from $49/mo.

Sumo (now BDOW)

Sumo adds email capture popups, welcome mats, and scroll boxes to your Teachable school. Useful for building an email list from school visitors before they buy. Free plan available.

Analytics and Tracking

Teachable lets you add tracking pixels and analytics tags directly in your school settings under Settings > General > Third-party Integrations. No developer needed.

Google Analytics 4: Add your GA4 Measurement ID. Tracks page views, checkout starts, and purchases across your school.

Google Tag Manager: Add your GTM container ID. If you use GTM, add all other tags through it rather than adding them individually in Teachable.

Meta Pixel: Paste your Pixel ID to track Facebook and Instagram ad conversions. Add standard events (Purchase, InitiateCheckout) via GTM or Teachable’s built-in event triggers.

TikTok Pixel: Paste your TikTok Pixel ID. Setup is the same as Meta, useful if you run TikTok ads.

Pinterest Tag: For Pinterest ad tracking.

LinkedIn Insight Tag: For LinkedIn campaign attribution.

Hotjar: Adds session recording and heatmaps to your Teachable school pages. Useful for diagnosing checkout drop-off. Paste the Hotjar Site ID.

Segment: If your business uses Segment for centralised event tracking, Teachable supports the Segment Write Key. All school events flow into Segment alongside your other data sources.

Note: if you have GTM installed, add Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Hotjar through GTM rather than adding each separately in Teachable. Fewer direct Teachable integrations means fewer things to maintain.

Website and Content

WordPress

Teachable has an official WordPress plugin that embeds a checkout widget on your WordPress site. Students purchase through Teachable but stay on your domain. Useful if your main site is on WordPress and you want to keep visitors there through checkout.

DropInBlog

DropInBlog is a hosted blogging tool that embeds into Teachable school pages. If you want a blog inside your Teachable school (rather than on a separate domain), DropInBlog is the only native option. For most schools, a separate blog on your own domain is better for SEO.

Video Calls and Scheduling

Zoom

Adding a Zoom link to a Teachable lecture is straightforward: create a Live lesson, paste in the Zoom join URL. Students see the link in their curriculum. No direct API integration, just a URL embed.

Calendly

Add a Calendly link as a lecture or in a course description to let students book a coaching call or onboarding session. You can also embed Calendly using an HTML block in a Teachable page.

Community

Circle (Single Sign-On)

Teachable and Circle integrate via SSO, meaning students who purchase a course can access your Circle community without creating a second login. Setup requires a Circle Professional plan or above and involves a SAML configuration between the two platforms. If you run a paid community alongside a course, this removes the friction of separate logins.

What to Set Up First

If you are just getting started with integrations on a Teachable school:

1. Kit email integration - first priority. Every student who enrolls should go into an email sequence. This is the highest-leverage setup: done once, runs forever. Takes ten minutes.
2. Google Analytics 4 - you need data before you can improve anything. Takes two minutes.
3. Meta Pixel - if you are running or plan to run Facebook or Instagram ads. Set it up now so it has time to build data before you spend.

Everything else is add-as-you-need.
