Hello Developer Group!
Our August 2023 🏆 Developer Challenge 🏆 is here!!!
Each month, I work with one of our internal Engineers or Solution Architects to generate a challenge that requires contestants to accomplish a technical feat using Klaviyo’s developer tools.
Take a look at the prizes for this month:

Getting leads into Klaviyo can be one of the most important things for having a robust marketing program. At this time, we do not have native integrations for certain social platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, etc. You can currently solve this problem without code by exporting CSVs from those platforms, and uploading them to a Klaviyo list. Zapier and Make can also be used here, but can get costly over time, depending on how often these workflows are running.
Using our latest APIs and Napkin.io, you should be able to set up a simple function that either works in realtime (receiving webhooks from a social platform like TikTok or Snapchat and then adding those as subscribers to your Klaviyo account), or runs on a fixed schedule.
Of course, the possibilities do not end there for collecting leads. The same could be applied for Intercom, LiveChat, etc. Anywhere that customers are sharing their email address or phone number (and consent to receive marketing), is a source for bringing contacts into your Klaviyo account in order to send them high-performing messages.
The Klaviyo Developer challenge helps you to learn more about building apps on top of Klaviyo. By building this function for a data source or API that you want to use with Klaviyo frequently, it will save you time, effort, and money. And others in the larger Klaviyo community likely want to use it too!
Everyone who submits a Napkin function for this challenge will be eligible for a feedback session with one of our API or DevX Product Managers. We will also reward those who submit working Napkin functions and an end-to-end demo with Klaviyo swag. We will also feature the winner of our challenge on the Developer Community and on LinkedIn!
