What are forms in ConvertKit?
ConvertKit forms are tools used to collect information from subscribers or potential subscribers. They are an essential part of email marketing as they allow you to gather email addresses and other relevant information from people who are interested in your content or products.

Additionally, ConvertKit forms can be set up to automatically tag subscribers based on their interests or behaviors, allowing for more targeted and personalized email marketing campaigns.
