How do I disconnect or revoke the ConvertKit integration?

Last updated May 20, 2026Integrations

Removing the ConvertKit integration from Valid Email Checker is a two-step process for full hygiene: first delete the connection on our side, then regenerate the ConvertKit API Secret. Both steps are quick. Most users stop after step one, but a security-conscious account should always finish both.

Step 1: delete the connection in VEC

Sign into VEC and open Integrations.
Find the ConvertKit row in Connected Integrations.
Click the three-dot row menu and choose Delete.
Confirm the deletion in the modal.
The ConvertKit entry disappears from the table immediately.

Deleting the connection also clears the sync history attached to it. Past verification jobs stay in your Uploads & Results page as independent records.

Step 2: revoke the API Secret in ConvertKit

Sign into ConvertKit.
Click your account avatar in the top right.
Open Account Settings → Advanced.
Scroll to the API section.
Click the regenerate icon next to API Secret. ConvertKit instantly invalidates the previous value.

Why revoke separately

Deleting on our side removes the stored credential. The API Secret string itself, however, is still valid as a key in ConvertKit unless you regenerate. If the secret was ever shared elsewhere or you simply want a clean audit trail in ConvertKit, regenerating forces a fresh state.

API Key vs. API Secret reminder

ConvertKit confusingly exposes two values labeled "API Key" (read-only) and "API Secret" (read + write). Valid Email Checker uses the API Secret because cleanup actions like Unsubscribe require write access. Regenerating the API Key alone does not affect VEC; only the API Secret matters here. The full credential workflow lives in the ConvertKit integration guide.

What happens to running verifications?

A verification mid-import keeps running with the credentials cached at the start of the job. New sync attempts will fail until you reconnect. To resume, follow the connect flow in the ConvertKit integration guide.

Reconnecting later

Reconnect by going to Integrations → Connect Integration → ConvertKit and pasting a fresh API Secret. The new connection is unrelated to the deleted one. If you previously named the connection something specific (recommended in multi-account workflows), reuse the same name for consistency.

Team-member-created connections

A small Users icon next to the provider name marks a connection that a team member created. Owners can delete any connection; team members can delete only their own.
