Kajabi API: How to Automate Your Business For All Users
Aug 20, 2025I often see people spending hours on repetitive tasks inside their account, not realizing there’s a much faster way to handle them. By using a built-in feature, I can connect different tools together and set up automations that save time and reduce manual work. It’s not as complicated as it sounds, and you don’t need to be a developer to get started.
In this walkthrough, I’ll explain what this feature is, how to set it up, and how I use it to connect with other platforms. I’ll also share where to find more resources if you want to dive deeper or explore advanced options.
Key Takeaways

- Discover how to connect accounts with other tools
- Access resources and support to expand automation options
Understanding the Kajabi API
What Is an API?
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is simply a bridge that allows two software platforms to communicate. In Kajabi, this means I can connect my account to another tool without manually moving data around.
Inside my Kajabi account, I find the API keys under Settings → Sign In and Security → User API Keys. There are two key pieces of information:
Key Type |
Purpose |
Action Available |
Client ID |
Identifies the connection |
Copy / Rotate |
Client Secret |
Secures the connection |
Copy / Rotate |
If I ever need a new set for security, I just click Rotate to generate fresh keys.
For developers, Kajabi provides public API documentation with details on endpoints and parameters. But if I’m not a developer, I don’t need to worry about that—just the keys are enough to get started.
Benefits of Automation With Kajabi
Using the Kajabi API, I can automate tasks that normally take hours each week. Instead of manually exporting lists or adding members to campaigns, I connect Kajabi with tools like Zapier.
With Zapier, I set up Zaps that trigger actions when something happens in Kajabi. For example:
- Add a new customer to a Google Sheet.
- Send an email when someone opts in.
- Get a text notification when a client makes a purchase.
The process is straightforward: I copy my Client ID and Client Secret from Kajabi, paste them into Zapier, and approve the connection. Once connected, I can build automations that run in the background and keep my business moving without manual effort.
Accessing and Setting Up the Kajabi API
Locating API Keys in Kajabi
I log into my Kajabi account and head to Settings on the bottom left. From there, I scroll down to Sign In and Security and open it. Inside, I find the section labeled User API Keys.
This section shows me two important items:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
Each one has a copy button so I can quickly paste them into another platform when I need to connect Kajabi.
Managing Client ID and Client Secret
When I connect Kajabi to a tool like Zapier, I copy the Client ID and paste it into the required field. Then I repeat the same step with the Client Secret.
These two values allow external software to communicate with my Kajabi account. Without both, the connection will not work. I always keep them safe because they act like login credentials for integrations.
Refreshing API Credentials
For security, I can rotate my API credentials at any time. Kajabi provides a Rotate option next to the keys.
When I click it, Kajabi generates a new Client ID and Client Secret. I then update these values in any connected tool, such as Zapier, to keep the integration running smoothly.
Integrating Kajabi With Third-Party Tools
Connecting Kajabi to Zapier
I connect Kajabi to Zapier by using the API keys inside my Kajabi account.
To find them, I go to Settings → Sign In and Security → User API Keys.
There are two pieces of information I need:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
I copy these values and paste them into Zapier when adding a new connection. If I ever need to refresh them for security, I can rotate the keys and get new ones.
Automating Tasks With Zaps
Once Kajabi is connected to Zapier, I create Zaps.
A Zap is simply a trigger and an action. For example, when something happens in Kajabi, Zapier automatically performs another task in a connected app.
Steps I follow:
- Go to Zapier Home → App Connections.
- Click Add Connection and choose Kajabi.
- Paste in my Client ID and Client Secret.
- Confirm the connection.
- Create a new Zap by choosing a trigger in Kajabi and linking it to an action in another app.
Example Automation Scenarios
I use Zaps to remove repetitive manual work. Some examples include:
- Google Sheets: Add a new row whenever someone opts into a Kajabi form.
- Email Notifications: Send myself an email when a new purchase is made.
- Text Alerts: Get a text message when a new client signs up.
Trigger in Kajabi |
Automated Action in Zapier |
New product purchase |
Send confirmation email |
Form submission |
Add entry to Google Sheet |
New member added |
Notify via SMS |
These automations save me from manually exporting lists or copying data between platforms.
Kajabi API Resources and Support
Kajabi Help Center Overview
When I need quick guidance, I simply search “API” in the Kajabi Help Center. That brings up the article Getting Started with the Kajabi Public API. It explains where to locate my API key inside my account and provides step-by-step details.
If I run into issues, I can email Kajabi support directly with any questions. This makes it easy to get clarification without guessing my way through setup.
Public API Documentation
For more technical details, I can access the Kajabi Public API documentation through the provided URL. This resource includes information about endpoints, parameters, and other developer-level details.
- Client ID and Client Secret are required for authentication.
- I can rotate these keys anytime for security.
- The documentation is currently in private beta, so access and updates may change.
If I’m not a developer, I don’t need to use this documentation. But if I am building integrations or working with clients, it contains everything I need.
Support for Developers
Kajabi gives developers direct access to the technical documentation, plus the ability to contact support if needed. This combination ensures I can troubleshoot and build confidently.
When I connect Kajabi to tools like Zapier, I copy my Client ID and Client Secret into the integration. From there, I can automate tasks such as:
- Adding new customers to a Google Sheet
- Sending automated emails
- Triggering notifications when a client signs up
This level of support helps me streamline workflows while maintaining control over my API connections.
