Add user to newsletter/list

Hello,

 

I am new to Klaviyo. On my web app (I am using PHP Laravel), upon user registration, I want also to subscribe the user to a List that I’ve created on Klaviyo.

 

I noticed there are two endpoints to:

  • Subscribe a profile to a list
  • Add a member to a list

 

Which one should I be using in this case? In terms of Klaviyo concepts, what’s the operation name to add user to a list?

 

Thank you

Bill

    Hi @BilalHadiar!
     

    If you want to add a user to a List at the same time as updating their overall marketing subscription status, then you can use this endpoint:

     

    Essentially, by updating overall marketing status, I mean updating consent to receive any email and/or SMS marketing. I’m assuming you’d want to do this during registration, so this would probably be the endpoint you’re looking for.

     

    However, there is also this endpoint, which only adds a profile to a list, but does not change the overall marketing consent status of the profile:

     

    I hope this helps to clarify, and thanks for using the Community!

    Thanks @Brian Turcotte 

    Is there a way to add a user to a list without actually creating a profile for that user?

     

    Thanks

    Hey @BilalHadiar,

    There wouldn’t be a way to add a user to a list without them having a profile. Every contact/user in your Klaviyo account will have a profile created.
