Is it possible to set a custom "$source" property value via API?

Hello,

My company currently integrates with Klaviyo via REST API requests. Specifically, we’re using the /subscribe endpoint to populate Klaviyo lists. The $source property, in newly added profiles, is auto-assigned a value of “API” in our case, and it would be very nice if we could change this to our company name.

This is the only documentation I can find related to this, but it only mentions manually setting this value.

Thanks!

Hey @nickriley!

Thanks for the clarification. You can achieve this by including $source in the payload using the subscribe endpoint for any net-new users to rename. So $source = name of company as seen below.

Let me know if that helped!

Hi @NicoSpoke,

So for this case, there really is no other thing to mention as I’ve covered all bases regarding the expected behavior and mechanics of the $source property and API. The list growth report will still just show API no matter what; Certain 3rd party integrations will show unsubscribe but not if you’re just using our API. Unfortunately, there is not much more to go over.

All the best,

Alex
