I have set up a preference centre, and have started collecting email frequency preferences (always, weekly and monthly) This mainly relates to our newsletter, which we send weekly. However, I need to obviously exclude anyone that has picked ‘monthly’. My only idea on how to do this is to manually exclude this segment when sending a campaign, but is there an easier way?
Just wanted to follow up on this thread - the simplest way to go about this would be to exclude your monthly segment from your campaign sends, to make sure that anyone that has selected that preference aren’t receiving weekly newsletter emails! When you get to the ‘Audience’ page when scheduling your campaign, you will just want to select your monthly segment under ‘Do not send to’:
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any additional questions!
As you suggested, the easiest way would be to manually exclude the segment from your sending or you could make an automation, which removes the subscriber from your primary list. When the subscriber can receive e-mails again, then a flow could be triggered, when they will be subscribed to the list again.
As a man, that likes to make a simple, but effective setup - I would go with the manually exclusion of the setup.
Hope that helps! :-)

Yes, there’s a simpler way to handle this in Klaviyo using segments and dynamic lists! Instead of manually excluding the "monthly" subscribers each time you send a campaign, you can set up a segment that automatically filters out anyone who has selected "monthly" frequency preferences.
Here’s how you can do it:
Steps:
Create a Segment for "Weekly" and "Always" Subscribers:
Go to Lists & Segments in Klaviyo.
Click Create List / Segment and choose Segment.
Set up the segment to include only subscribers who have selected "weekly" or "always" under email frequency preferences.
Use This Segment for Campaigns:
When sending a campaign, simply select this segment (excluding "monthly" subscribers) instead of manually excluding them.
Benefits:
Automatic Exclusion: This segment will update automatically as subscribers update their frequency preferences.
No Manual Work: You don’t need to manually manage exclusions for each campaign, saving you time.
By setting up this dynamic segment, you'll ensure that only subscribers who want weekly or more frequent emails will receive your newsletters, without needing to manually exclude anyone.
Let me know if you'd like more guidance on setting up segments.
Hello @katie_hull , To manage email frequency preferences effectively, you can automate the process by creating dynamic segments in Klaviyo. For instance, set up a segment to include only those who selected "weekly" or "always" as their preference. Use this segment as the recipient list for your weekly newsletters, ensuring "monthly" preferences are automatically excluded.
If you need help implementing this setup, feel free to reach out for support.

Everyone has suggested the same sort of solution - thank you for replying! However, I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the ‘monthly’ segment still need to receive a campaign every 4 weeks. So I will have to exclude this segment for 3 weeks of every month, but then include them on the 4th week, so they get their monthly email… Is that the only way? Seems prone to error, with me having to keep track of when I’ve last included them!
You can streamline this process by creating a flow in Klaviyo triggered once every 4 weeks to send campaigns to the "monthly" segment. This eliminates the need for manual tracking and ensures the emails go out on schedule. If you'd like assistance setting this up, let me know.

Wow, it sounds great, but I have no idea how to do that! I manually create a new newsletter campaign each week… How would I set up the flow to automate the campaigns for this monthly segment? I’m intrigued (and hopeful!)
Hello @katie_hull , Thank you for your enthusiasm! I’m glad you’re intrigued. Setting up an automated flow in Klaviyo for your monthly segment is simpler than you might think, and I’m happy to guide you through it step by step.
Here’s how we can set it up:
1. Create or Identify Your Monthly Segment
First, we’ll ensure your "monthly" segment is already created. This should be a dynamic segment that updates automatically based on criteria like engagement or preferences.
2. Set Up a Flow in Klaviyo: Go to the Flows section in your Klaviyo account and click Create Flow.
Choose "Create from Scratch" or select a relevant template if one fits your needs.
3. Choose the Trigger: Set the flow trigger to the Segment Entry Trigger. Select your "monthly" segment.
Adjust the timing so the flow starts sending emails to segment members once every 4 weeks.
4. Add Email Content: Drag and drop an Email Card into the flow.
Design the email or use a pre-made template that fits your branding.
5. Schedule Email Timing: Use a Time Delay if needed to ensure the email goes out at a specific time, like the first Monday of the month.
6. Test and Review: Send a test email to yourself to confirm everything looks good.
Review the flow setup to ensure it meets your goals.
This setup ensures your newsletters for the "monthly" segment are sent automatically. The best part is that you can still tweak the content as needed before each send.
If you’d like me to handle the setup or walk you through it live, just let me know, and we can get this going for you right away!
