Hi Developer Group!

 

I’m pleased to announce the winner of our February 2023 Developer Challenge!

 Congratulations to... 🏆🎉 @DavidSandel 🎉🏆!!!

 

As the first to submit a valid response to our challenge@DavidSandel takes home the grand prize with this expert answer:

 

How can you use the V3 APIs to edit profile properties IN BULK?

Use an external service like Postman or Zapier (just to name 2 out of the many) to make a GET request for all profiles (https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/reference/get_profiles) in an account. Do any filtering or manipulation that you need to do. Then loop through the remaining (or all) profiles and send a POST request with the updated data (https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/reference/update_profile):

 

 

 

​As promised, David has earned this king-of-the-hill-style pinned article at the top of the Developer Group until (or if) someone can dethrone him in a future challenge. Here are some more details about our current winner:

 

David Sandel hails from Wisconsin, but has lived in various locations such as MN, TX, CO, and his van before moving to Spain 6 years ago. He is a former college athlete who later became a sponsored professional rock climber and snowboarder. David was one of the first to take up social media influencing before the term 'influencer' became popularized.

He holds a degree in Electrical Engineering and worked for 8 years designing flight computers for commercial, military, and NASA aircraft. Eventually, he transitioned to entrepreneurship and started his digital marketing business, Low Gravity Solutions (LGS), 8 years ago. In recent years, he has been focusing on MarTech, MOPs, Marketing Automation, and custom development.

Low Gravity Solutions has a global presence, and David is a certified Silver Partner of Klaviyo, a Zapier Certified Expert, and an official partner of 2 other email platforms. However, David's preferred platform to work and develop with is Klaviyo. He specializes in email automation and marketing strategy, and has helped many clients increase their eCommerce revenue significantly.

David has a case study published on his website that details how his company increased a client’s revenue by an extra $526k in just one year using a Klaviyo email automation marketing strategy. David is a well-respected expert in the digital marketing field, and his company, Low Gravity Solutions, has helped numerous businesses grow their revenue and reach.

You can also read the aforementioned case study, here:

An additional shout-out belongs to @sourabh and @retention who were our runners-up. They both gave great answers, but David was able to defeat them by answering first! 

 

Stay tuned for the next Developer Challenge at the end of March, where you will all have a shot at dethroning David and nabbing the spot at the top of the group! Here’s another look at the swag prizes:

 

Thanks to everyone who competed - I’m excited for the new ideas and use cases that these challenges will introduce!
