+3Is this correct method?
Step 1: Extract __kla_id Cookie
Use JavaScript to retrieve the __kla_id cookie and decode it to obtain the _kx value.
Step 2: Exchange _kx for Profile ID
Make a POST request to Klaviyo’s /api/v2/people/exchange endpoint with the _kx value to retrieve the profile ID.
Step 3: Get Profile Details
Use the GET /api/profiles endpoint with the profile ID to fetch the profile data, including the first name.
Step 4: Display First Name
Once you get the first name from the API, update the HTML element with the user's name.
Code Workflow (Simplified)
- JavaScript: Extract the
__kla_idand send it to your server. - PHP (or server-side code): Use Klaviyo API to get the user’s profile data.
- Return the first name to JavaScript, which displays it on the page.
This method ensures you're identifying users securely and dynamically displaying their names.
