🚀 Automation nodes app plugin environment launched
Developers can now integrate third-party apps with Kit Visual Automations using action and event nodes. This opens up powerful new ways for developers to build with Kit, and for creators to automate their workflows.- Event nodes trigger automations on conditions like “call booked” or “survey completed”.
- Action nodes perform tasks in external systems such as “send an SMS” or “enroll a subscriber in a course”.
- Apps like Shopify, Thinkific, and Calendly are already utilizing these nodes.
🚀 Dynamic return URLs for app installations
Developers can now redirect users back to specific pages after completing an app install using thereturn_to query parameter in installation flows, enabling smoother integration experiences that originate from partner sites.📖 Developer changelog now live
