How do I add a custom webhook endpoint for Klaviyo to call when a user unsubscribes for a list? Does this exists? It’s a must have feature of an email provider. If this isnt available how else can I keep subscription statuses synced with my application database?

View originalThis is a solution but requires a regular cron job and a fair amount of processing on our own servers to iterate through the returned data, executing an unsubscribe action on each result.
Please could I raise a feature request for a more traditional webhook solution that just calls a URL when someone either a) unsubscribes or b) subscribes? That way I will know that my own systems are *always* in sync with Klaviyo.
It’s important because people who are subscribed to our mailing list get a reduced shipping rate and some other benefits when they purchase. If they’ve subbed via klaviyo and then order before a sync has occurred, we’ll end up billing them wrongly.

I don’t have an exact timeline for this feature, but I can assure you that the team is actively evaluating this functionality, and I have forwarded your feedback to supplement the request!

I suggest you set this timeline soon as in bigger companies this information is a must and have to be in sync in real time. Currently this option is a half-developed product.
In case we send only one marketing message to a person who has unsubscribed, we risk a high penalty!

Hey, In your Klaviyo account, navigate to the settings or integrations section where you can configure webhooks. Add the URL of your custom webhook endpoint and specify the events you want Klaviyo to send notifications for, such as "unsubscribe". I hope you understand it.
Just started using Klaviyo and kind of shocked this is not implemented yet. This is crucial, as you always need to keep various lists in different external databases in synch with Klaviyo. Please implement this. Going to hold off on sending emails thru Klaviyo until this is implemented as otherwise it will become a massive pain to keep lists in synch across various databases. Every major email providers offers this type of webhook, btw.
thanks Stuart!
I managed to figure this out through some trial and error, but it is possible to have a webhook fire on unsubscribes.
Make sure you make the flow “Live” because the “Manual” option won’t work for triggers that rely on list/segment entry. Also, I found that the segment took between about 5 and 15 minutes to actually get updated when the user unsubscribes, so the webhook doesn’t fire til they are in the segment, but it did fire and my webservice did catch and process it so proof of concept works!
I don’t know if this is something new but hope that helps everyone!
I found that the webhook wasn't triggering when users unsubscribed from my lists. I've double-checked the endpoint URL, configured the events correctly, and saved the webhook, but there seems to be a disconnect in the communication between Klaviyo and my external system.
Webhook should have unsubscribe option as database of unsubscribers are relatively big and if you have to read this data all the time we all know that this is far from optimal and it affects all systems big time!!
We have all of our customer data (lots of them) in our ERP/CRM as we do not target our customers only from Klaviyo. Because of that we need to have this information, who unsubscribed through Klaviyo, in real-time not with some postponed calls to your api, webhook with fake lists, etc.
This is a huge drawback for companies like ours!

Hi
Welcome to the Community! Happy to help out with this!
Yes, you can use achieve what you’re looking to do by using the GET api/v1/people/exclusions endpoint to retrieve global suppressions. You will then know who is unsubscribed and anyone who’s not included in that call would be subscribed. I would recommend checking out this very helpful topic posted by a peer in the Community about the same topic!
Thanks for your participation in the Community!

This feature is pivotal for our application's workflow, as it allows us to seamlessly sync subscription statuses with our database in real-time. Klaviyo's current webhook capabilities don't directly support custom endpoints for unsubscribe events. This presents a significant hurdle in maintaining data accuracy and ensuring smooth synchronization between Klaviyo and our application database.

Feedback would be appriciated as we are having some serious isues with Klaviyo integration as our profiles are not in sync between CRM and Klaviyo.
We need a flow webhook for subscribe/unsubscribe/suppress/unsuppress in real time.
Hi,
Am I correct in assuming that you're basically paywalled this pretty generic function behind your CDP app (500$+/mo, https://www.klaviyo.com/customer-data-platform > Webhooks section + CDP docs) and now

Hey Dear, Implement mechanisms to sync email subscription statuses between Klaviyo and your application database whenever changes occur. This may involve integrating with Klaviyo's API to retrieve subscriber data and reconcile it with your database records. If you still need any help mention me here.

Hi
We do now have webhook functionality that can be triggered when someone subscribes, but at this time, webhooks are limited to events that can trigger a flow - so unsubscribes are not eligible:
However, our Product team is aware of this feature request, so I’ll update the thread if anything changes in the future.

While Klaviyo doesn't offer custom webhook endpoints for unsubscribes specifically, you can still use their webhooks for other events such as email clicks or opens. Although these events won't directly indicate an unsubscribe, you can infer user disengagement and update their subscription status accordingly in your database.
