Will emails marked as draft stop a flow?


Forum|alt.badge.img+5

Hi,

Quick sanity check please. The attached picture is one of our flows - a post-purchase flow which includes a couple of emails which ask for a product review. We are moving our product reviews to another service that we are trialling, so I want these 2 emails to not send for now, so I marked them as draft. However I want the option to re-enable them if we don’t like the new service, so don’t want to delete them.

Questions:

  1. if they’re marked as draft, they will definitely not send to real people, correct?
  2. however will the flow logic continue past these 2 draft emails so the flow will move on with the other emails and commands until it finishes?

Many thanks,

Gareth

Hello ​@dartacus,

Yes, you are correct. 

Here's how it works in Klaviyo:

1️⃣ If emails are marked as "Draft," they will not send to real people—they will be completely skipped.
2️⃣ The flow will continue past the draft emails and move on to the next steps (emails, delays, conditional splits, etc.), ensuring the rest of your flow functions as expected.

So, your setup is perfect. If you decide to re-enable those emails later, you can simply switch them from Draft to Live without needing to rebuild anything.

 

 

Best Regards,

Hi ​@dartacus ,

Yes, you are correct!

1️⃣ Emails marked as "Draft" will not send to real recipients—they will be completely skipped.
2️⃣ The flow will continue past the draft emails and move on to the next steps (delays, emails, conditional splits, etc.), so the rest of your flow will function as expected.

This setup allows you to keep the emails in draft mode for now and easily re-enable them later without rebuilding anything.

Let me know if you need any further clarification! or you need assistance, i may help you out with it.

Best regards,
Michael
