Regarding klaviyo client subscription api of v2023

UPDATE: Turns out my issue was with single vs double opt in settings on the lists I’m working with. Endpoint is working as expected 👍

Hi All,

I am seeing the same issue with Node. I am trying to update an existing profile to be subscribed to a list. I am getting a 202 back, however, nothing is changing within Klaviyo for the profile or subscription. 

I am following this documentation: https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/reference/subscribe_profiles
api version: 2023-02-22

url: https://a.klaviyo.com/api/profile-subscription-bulk-create-jobs/

here is my payload shape: 

const body = {
            data: {
                type: 'profile-subscription-bulk-create-job',
                attributes: {
                    list_id: listId,
                    custom_source: 'Marketing Event',
                    subscriptions: [
                        {
                            channels: { email: ['MARKETING'] },
                            email,
                            profile_id: profileId,
                        },
                    ],
                },
            },
        };

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. 

Hey @JStones,

Thanks for sharing your update and for highlighting the solution that worked for you!

@Abrar22, if you’re trying to subscribe user from your server, you may want to use the https://a.klaviyo.com/api/profile-subscription-bulk-create-jobs/ endpoint instead. 

As mentioned in our Create Client Subscription API reference, the https://a.klaviyo.com/client/subscriptions/ endpoint is meant to be used through publicly-browseable, client-side environments only. 

The https://a.klaviyo.com/api/profile-subscription-bulk-create-jobs/ endpoint on the other hand is meant to subscribe one or more profiles to email marketing, SMS marketing, or both - allowing you to add users to a list in bulk. More details on this endpoint can be found in our Subscribe Profiles API reference.

Hey @Abrar22,

After making a call to the  https://a.klaviyo.com/api/profile-subscription-bulk-create-jobs/ endpoint, you could make a subsequent call to the Update Profile endpoint to apply those custom profile properties. 

Alternatively, you could also just do this with in a single .CSV import. I would recommend taking a look at the following resources:

• How to create and add subscribers to a new list
• How to add subscribers to an existing list
• How to migrate existing email subscribers (and unsubscribes) into Klaviyo
• Troubleshooting list imports
• How to import profile properties using a CSV upload

If you need hands-on help with any of these steps, I would further suggest reaching out and working alongside some of our wonderful Klaviyo Partners. You can contact our accreddited Partners through our Klaviyo Partner Directory.

And i used this api https://a.klaviyo.com/api/profiles/{id}/ to update profile i have seen every data is passed perfectly and from postman i can send data but not from my node or thunder in vscode why so

Hii thank u so much for the solution but I wanted to ask one more question is that I am trying to create list via the create list api the list gets created successfully but the problem is that the new list created has double opt in settings enabled by default but how can I make the list created single opt in by default or is there any method any help would be really appreciated
