I was hoping for some advice.I am still a bit of a novice😀
Is it possible to convert a live flow to an AB test flow?
If I cannot convert to an AB then I am guessing I have to set up a new AB Welcome flow test. If that is the case what happens to the data from the original flow?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated
Cheers
Rachel

Hi @Rachel T,
Welcome to the Klaviyo Community and thank you for your question!
You can absolutely add A/B tests into your flow. You can do this in one of two ways:
Test the actual email itself - you can create a B variant of the individual email/SMS inside of the flow. This can be done through the email editor, and this will allow you to A/B test on the content of the email (example - subject line, content inside email etc). More information about that in this article.
Create a random sample in a flow of 50% - this will allow you to test the actual flow pathway. This is helpful if you want to test the wait steps or channel used. For example - let’s say I wanted to test if an email or an SMS is more successful. You do this through a conditional split and selecting “Random Sample”. This would look something like the below:
In short, yes you can add A/B tests to existing flows. I hope that answers your question!

I found your response helpful. I was building a test flow and was wondering why within the email details panel I don’t see an option to allow an A/B test? I’ve added a screenshot of what I see below. Thanks.
Great question, and thankfully a simple answer to this one. The Klaviyo flow builder won’t let you add an A/B test until you’ve set up the actual template.
So in this case all you need to do is hit the Select Template button and either pick a template from your library or create one from scratch.
As soon as you’ve added a template onto the email in the flow the option should appear like the example below:
Hopefully that solves this for you - let me know if you have any questions or you get stuck!
