I have seen that “Every profile has a unique ID that you can find by navigating to the profile and looking at the URL. Look for the 26-character ID, as illustrated in the image below.”

This is wrong. I have seen profiles ID such as “Yzgepw”. What’s the story?

Ah, yes! Both are correct. Klaviyo increased the character count of profile IDs to future-proof growth in overall subscriber data. A 6-character ID simply means that subscriber was acquired prior to the update.

Hope that helps!

Hey @kenw232! Can you show/link me where you saw the reference to the 26-character ID?
