Beginner looking for free help creating my first Klaviyo flow

Hi Yusuf, have a look at the flow library within klaviyo and choose that as a starting point. Then you dont have to worry about triggers and delays. 

Hi ​@Yusuf Kolapo , welcome to the klaviyo community! 

You are on the right track by creating custom abandoned cart flow. I would love to guide you through the set up so you can understand how everything works and build it yourself. 
To get started, you will need to:

1, Set the trigger: choose the added to cart metric if you want to trigger the flow when someone adds a product to their cart, or use checkout started for a checkout abandonment flow, depending on your store integration and setup.

2. Add filters: Exclude people who have already placed an order since entering the flow 

3. Set a time delay: Give the customer some time to complete their purchase before sending the first email

4. Create your email: Remind them about the product they left behind and include a clear link back to their cart or checkout.

I would be happy to explain the steps in more details here or we could arrange a short call if that would make learning easier for you.

Which e-commerce platform are you using? Shopify, Woocommerce, or something else? That will help me guide you through the correct setup

Welcome to Klaviyo! Here's the simplest abandoned cart flow that actually works — you can build this today:

1. Trigger: "Checkout Started" (Klaviyo has this pre-built for Shopify/WooCommerce)

2. Email 1 — 1 hour later: friendly reminder, no discount. Subject like "Still thinking it over?"

3. Email 2 — 24 hours later: handle objections — shipping info, returns policy, a review or two

4. Email 3 — 48 hours later: last nudge with urgency (cart expires, low stock)

Add one filter so buyers don't keep getting emails: "Placed Order zero times since entering this flow."

Start with that — it's the highest-ROI flow in e-commerce. I build Klaviyo flows for DTC brands, happy to answer questions as you build.
