Hi - I've just set up with Klaviyo but I don't currently have a database of profiles. How do I warm up my account without it? as I don't have any engagement data to create warm up segments.
Ive created all my data capture should I just turn everything on and start building my list? but then what happens to my welcome email if the account isn't warm?

Hi
So, if you’re just starting out on Klaviyo, you technically don’t have to warm up the account since you’re brand new. However, I would start by building out the initial Flows like the Welcome Series, Abandoned Cart (Checkotu), and Post Purchase Flows. These Flows all have a really high open rate because they are Triggered by specific moments of the users’ journey with high intent.
Once you have these in place, my goal would be to build really great email capture experiences and offers to better convert your website visitors to email subscribers.
You may have already seen this, but this is a great place to start in Klaviyo’s documentation:
Hope that helps!

sorry one more question - is it normal for a welcome email to go into junk when I first turn it on given that I don't have a sending reputation.

The links Taylor shared are great resources to get clear on healthy emailing!
When you first get started, there are a multitude of reasons an inbox provider might consider your email spam worth but as long as you continue to deliver good content to your subscribers who organically opted into your lead magnet or sign-up form - you are proving to those providers that your domain can be trusted overtime. Typically I don’t see a brand new domain going straight to spam unless that email journey isn’t something your new leads are engaging with or marking your messages as spam themselves.
