June 2023 Challenge
This month's challenge will focus on our new Accounts API, available today under the 6/15/2023 revision date. The Accounts API endpoints allow you to retrieve your account details programmatically. If you wanted to rebuild our Organization tab in our Account Settings page, you could use this API to do so!
Your challenge is as follows:
- Part 1
Many e-commerce stores support multiple currencies for reporting purposes. Using the Accounts API to retrieve your preferred_currency, write a function capable of converting any currency amount into the account’s currency
- Part 2
Successful e-mail and SMS campaigns send the right message at the right time. Customers may be spread across multiple timezones. As an e-commerce business owner or partner / agency that supports business owners, it’s important to know when campaigns will be sent relative to your timezone. Write a function that, given any timezone and an AM/PM string (ex. US/Eastern, 5:35PM), will show that time in your company’s timezone (ex. US/Pacific, 2:35PM).
We are excited to offer you an in-browser development environment through Napkin.io! Klaviyo acquired Napkin in November and we are using it internally for a variety of key functions and hope you will do the same. For this challenge, please submit your answers as a Napkin function by following the steps below:
- Create an account in Napkin - you can sign up via Google, GitHub, or email
- Clone one of the following Napkin functions:
- The cloned function will give you some boilerplate code that allows you to make API calls with our SDKs. Once you have cloned the function, you must get a private API in your Klaviyo account and add it to your Napkin environment:
- Instructions on getting your private key can be found here
- Once you have your private API key, set it as your KLAVIYO_PRIVATE_API_KEY under “Other” in your Napkin function like below
- Once you have your solution, share your Napkin functions. You can get a URL to your public function by clicking Share like in the screenshot below:
- Finally, submit the URLs with your name and other details using the form below!
Good luck! And please feel free to email developers@klaviyo.com with any questions.
ATTENTION
Contest is open to legal residents of the contiguous United States, Canada (with the exception of Quebec), Australia, India (excluding the State of Tamilnadu), and the United Kingdom
