Is there a proper way to move subscribers from X flow to Y?

Hi @moodxmanager,

Thanks for your reply and providing that additional information and example.

Yes, I understand exactly what you mean. With that said, on the point of avoiding new users entering a flow, this can be achieved in a few different ways depending on the type of flow trigger (list/segment, or metric) and the type of filters you’re using.  If it’s a list-triggered flow, for example, you can add a conditional split at the beginning (similar to what you have in your example), to check if someone is added to a list before a certain day (say we use today’s date of 03/31/2022), if they were added to the list (in this case, the Newsletter) on that date or later, the user will travel down the “no” path and exit the flow. Anybody already in the flow will continue on their path through the flow undisrupted. This is because conditional splits only “check” the user when they reach that point in the flow, if a user is already passed that split, they won’t be subject to that filter. Here’s an example:

If the flow is metric-triggered, you can add a trigger filter (which checks if a user qualifies for the flow only when they initially enter the flow, as opposed to a flow filter which will check if the user qualifies for a flow before each email send in the flow), using the $value field, i.e. $value = 999999. Making it impossible for new users to enter the flow unless they have an item in their cart worth $999999 (which I’m guessing you won’t have unless you sell some really nice stuff :)) and anybody already in the flow will continue on their path through the flow undisrupted. Here’s an example:

To better understand filtering in flows, I recommend checking out our article here. But yes, I hear your request on directly adding people to to a list within a flow itself, that is certainly something we can take a closer look into in the future. I’ll submit a request, we appreciate your feedback. Hopefully the above was helpful for you (and others following along) as well.

Hi @moodxmanager,

Thanks for your reply. Of course, happy to clarify.

Some Klaviyo filters will evaluate users only at the point of entry into the flow i.e. a Trigger filter (not before each email send). A trigger filter is being used in the latter example using the metric-triggered flow (using $value) which is why it is effective for allowing existing users to continue through the flow.

Other flow filters, will evaluate before each email send i.e. a Flow filter and thus will not be effective at allowing users who don’t meet the criteria of the flow filter to continue moving through the flow. To better understand filtering in flows, I recommend checking out our article here.

I hope that provides further clarity.
