Hey guys,

We would love to be able to be able to create email campaigns and attach templates to the campaigns using the Klaviyo API.

My understanding is that we would have to add the html code to create a template first and then use the templateID to create a Campaign.

However, the latest documentation I’m looking at (v2023-02-22), it doesn’t seem like the ‘Create Campaign’ POST accepts a templateID as an optional field.

We were wondering if there was a way to create an email campaign with a template with the current API, if not, would we be able to do this in the near future?

Hi @khaledkb,

Thanks for being a part of our community! To be able to create email campaigns and attach templates to the campaigns using the Klaviyo API, you would need to make the campaign, and then use this endpoint to assign a template to it. This documentation will provide you with the details needed: https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/reference/create_campaign_message_assign_template. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Hey Rohan,
I just figured it out, the Message ID is returned in the response of Create Campaign as

"relationships": {

"campaign-messages": {

"data": [

{

"type": "campaign-message",

"id": "122344"

}

]

Umar
