Using The First Name Code

Hi everyone, I’ve been having a problem using the code to insert the customer’s first name into my emails. It seems like it works some of the time, and other emails I end up seeing just have a blank space. I sent out a holiday sale email this morning, and when I saw my copy, I realized it was just a blank space where the first name should be. This is very disappointing, embarrassing, and makes my emails look unprofessional because there is a comma, a space, and then an exclamation mark rather than a name inserted. Does anyone know how to ensure that the first name is always going to appear properly? Thank you,Meryl

Why do my campaign URLs say "trk.klclick.com"?

In a Campaign, we include external links different from our domain for webinars. When a recipient receives the email these urls are different! It seems like a redirection.For example, we insert urls like attendee.gotowebinar.com/… and we receive email with urls like  trk.klclick.com/…Do you know why it happens that? It causes an issue as these campaigns are blocked from many recipients’ email service.

Can I add the customer's name in subject line of an email?

Hey, does anyone know if you can use the first name in the headline? Can I just put in the code “ {{ person.first_name }} “ in there and it will show correctly? Thanks!

Using {{ event.extra.checkout_url}} to recover abandon carts, but I can't click the link inside the email.

Hello everyone,I hope you are doing well :)I’m facing a problem inside an account that never happened before: when we send the cart recovery emails with a button that contains “{{ event.extra.checkout_url}}”, we can’t click on the button inside the emails.It seems like there is no link attached and the button doesn’t get treated as a button.(the fields are populated, so when I send a test email it should work)How can I fix this?Thank you and have a great day,Luca

Abandoned Cart vs Checkout Started

Is it general practices to have both abandoned cart flows flows going at the same time where one triggers Added to Cart and another triggers the Checkout Started or is one preferred over the other?

Can't see this email? {% web_view 'Open in your browser' %} .

Just a question that I cannot find in any other resources.Does anyone know how the variable below is used? Do the campaign or flow need to be active before it is able to link to a URL that opens the browser. I am just getting a placeholder when I test this variable. Bearing in mind the template I am using is is not published and I am on a free version.Can't see this email? {% web_view 'Open in your browser' %} . Thanks for your help in advance.Paul

Exclude products from abandoned cart emails

Hello!I am wondering if it is possible to exclude certain items from the dynamic table block for the abandoned cart e-mails. Or only include certain items/ collections. These are items that are “in” their cart but I do not want to send them to encourage them to finish checking out. For example I have the cloverly app for offsetting carbon footprint for shipping and I also have an app that I use to have multiple options for products. I don’t want these items showing in the abandoned cart e-mail. Is there a way to go about excluding these?Thanks so much for any help!Natalie

Embedding a 1 question survey into a flow email

tl;dr: I want to embed a simple, one-question survey on a flow email without people having to click away/load a page. Klaviyo doesn’t seem to have a native way to do this, nor does it accept Google Form HTML embeds. Help! How can I achieve this?------I’m trying to get new customers to share how they found out about our brand (basically attribution or source of conversion) without them navigating away from the email so we can collect as many responses as possible.The issue is that I can’t seem to find any documentation that Klaviyo can do this. Key things to note:I only need one question answered; it can be either checkboxes or multiple choice. This is the first email new customers will receive in a post-purchase flow I tried this with Google Forms (detailed belwo) but I don’t need to use this. I need to be able to easily view collated/total results (e.g. xx% of people answered option A etc) without having to manually intervene on counting or otherwise. The first method I tried with Goo

Best practice for Sunset Flow

Hello everyone, I would really appreciate if you could share how you setup your Sunset Flow. I have started my list in 2014 in MailChimp and moved from MailChimp to Klaviyo about a year ago.I have never ever cleaned my list. I know it sounds terrible   My list size now is ~10.000 and I managed to score 25% open rates when I send to the entire list. I try to send weekly. I had the goal of spending one year using Klaviyo and then clearing my list. This was mainly because I wanted everyone on the list to receive Black Friday emails. So I created Sunset flow.I spend much time reading how to do it best, but in fact, I still don’t know the best solution.Sorry for the long prehistory.I created my Sunset flow using the standard flow. I included profiles in the segment who were inactive for 365 days. They receive 2 emails. The second email is sent after a week. And then, after another 5 days, the profile is marked as ‘suppress’.The second email has two options. The first option - standard Klavi

I accidentally deleted my flow emails - can I recover it?

I made a change to one of the first conditions of a flow tree and mistakenly deleted everything after it, including the emails I had setup and all the following conditions. Yikes! Is there a way to revert back?

Shareable Campaign Web Link

Hello, I am possibly transitioning from Mailchimp. I normally create an email campaign that I use as a weekly newsletter that I send out to my customers. I would then take the campaign archive link and use it in text messages to drive other customers to the same newsletter. How can I do this in Klaviyo? I want to create an email campaign and then link to the completed web document via text.  Thanks!

Flows versus campaigns: What's the difference?

Campaigns and flows are Klaviyo’s bread and butter. If you find yourself getting a bit confused between the two, don’t worry!A campaign is a one-time email or SMS send to a pre-determined list or segment. These must be manually scheduled to be sent at a fixed point in time. A few examples of campaigns are sales promotions, educational blog content, or new product launches.A flow is an automated sequence that is set in motion by a specific trigger and then includes one or more steps. Flows can be built to send timely emails or SMS messages, or they can simply apply certain actions, like updating a specific field on a profile. These are usually a series of messages that are constantly running in the background hitting your customers at the right point in time with the right message. Two examples of high revenue generating flows are the welcome series or the abandoned cart.Happy sending!

How to trigger a flow when customer submits contact form on Shopify?

Hello Community!!We are on Shopify. As part of our sales process, our customers submit an inquiry form on our website with some information we required to initiate the process. We want to trigger a flow, once the customer submits the contact form to send them the first email to schedule a consultation meeting and then a series of emails after the appointment is booked. How can we trigger a flow with that action? I can't find that option in de default triggers from the Shopify integration?Thanks a lot,Ronald
