    2. Go to your Kit dashboard → Products → Click your product
    3. Copy the URL (e.g., https://your-name.kit.com/products/your-product)
    4. Paste it into Kitlytics
    5. Click "Generate Campaign"
  6. 6
    AI analyzes your data and generates:
    • 5 unique subject line options (tested formulas)
    • Compelling email body copy
    • Preview text that complements subject line
    • Clear call-to-action
    • Performance predictions (estimated opens, clicks, revenue)

✨ Pro Tip: The AI uses YOUR historical data (open rates, click rates, subscriber behavior) to create campaigns optimized for YOUR audience—not generic templates!

Step 4: Review & Customize

Best Practices for Success

Always paste the correct product URL - Copy it directly from your Kit product page
Send test emails first - Use Kit's "Send Test" feature before going live
Edit AI copy to match your voice - AI provides the structure, you add personality
Test different subject lines - AI gives you 5 options—try A/B testing them
Check predictions vs actuals - Compare AI predictions to real results to improve over time
Use sequences for nurturing - 3-7 email sequences convert better than single emails
