The value of the subscriber list in Kinde, despite the limitations you've mentioned, lies in its integration within the Kinde ecosystem and the streamlined management features it offers. Here are a few key points that highlight its value:
- Centralized Management: Kinde allows you to manage both subscribers and users within the same platform. This centralization can simplify administrative tasks and user management processes, especially as your subscriber base grows.
- Easy Conversion: The ability to quickly convert subscribers or access request contacts into users is a significant advantage. This feature facilitates a smoother transition from potential interest to actual user engagement without needing to manually re-enter data or use separate systems.
- Integration with User Authentication and Management: Once subscribers are converted to users, they can be managed just like any other user in Kinde. This includes setting permissions, roles, and accessing various features of your application. The integration with Kinde’s authentication system also ensures that all user data is handled securely and consistently.
- Compliance and Data Management: Using Kinde to manage subscribers ensures that you are compliant with data handling and privacy standards applicable to your users. It also provides a reliable infrastructure for data security.
