The improvements and additions that tackled the issues you’ve been posting about.

Q4 was one of our most active quarters yet. Between BFCM prep, global expansion, and a big push toward AI-powered efficiency, we shipped dozens of updates designed to reduce manual work, improve compliance, and help you reach customers more precisely—across every channel.

Below is a straightforward recap of what shipped in Q4 2025, with a focus on the updates the community has asked for most and the everyday frustrations these releases help eliminate.


Highlights

These were some of the most impactful releases of the quarter—many driven directly by customer feedback, forum threads, and support trends from here in the Community.

Customer Agent: Smarter, more controllable, and easier to launch

Customer Agent saw major upgrades across setup, visibility, and control—addressing common concerns like “How do I know it’s working?” and “Who is it actually responding to?”

  • Performance Reporting – See Add to Carts, AOV, link clicks, and skill usage to understand real ROI—not just conversation volume.

  • New Customer Agent Events – Trigger segments and flows based on Started, Resolved, Escalated, or Product Recommendation events.

  • Segment & Keyword Targeting – Control exactly who Customer Agent engages with, by channel.

  • Guided Onboarding & Launch Pages – Step-by-step setup with built-in handoff testing before going live.

  • Knowledge Gap Detection – Identify unanswered questions before customers hit them.

  • Tone of Voice Controls – Match AI responses to your brand style with selectable tone options.

  • Coupon Retrieval Skill – Instantly answer “Do you have a discount?” via web chat or SMS.

Why this matters:
You get more confidence, more control, and clearer proof of value—without guesswork or trial-and-error launches.

Omnichannel gets more precise (and less spammy)

A major theme this quarter was helping teams send better-timed, better-targeted messages—without over-messaging customers.

  • Personalized Send Time (Email, SMS, Push, WhatsApp) – Uses reinforcement learning to send messages at each recipient’s optimal time.

  • Omnichannel Campaign Audience Filters – Target sub-segments using engagement signals and channel affinity.

  • Exit Conditions for Omnichannel Campaigns – Automatically stop messages once a customer converts.

  • Unified Omnichannel Performance Page – See cross-channel results in one place.

Why this matters:
Fewer irrelevant messages, better engagement, and less manual segmentation gymnastics.

Compliance updates you’ve been asking for

Quiet hours, state laws, and regional SMS rules continued to be a top forum topic—and Q4 delivered meaningful guardrails.

  • Texas SMS Quiet Hours & Pause Toggle

  • State Law Text Frequency Limits (FL, OK, MD)

  • WhatsApp Double Opt-In (with multi-language support)

  • Ireland Two-Way SMS

  • WhatsApp Smart Translations

Why this matters:
Compliance is no longer something you have to constantly double-check—Klaviyo enforces it for you.

Customer Hub & identification improvements

Customer Hub expanded in ways that directly address conversion, attribution, and global scaling concerns.

  • Recognize More Shoppers (Customer Hub) – Personalize experiences before login using Klaviyo cookies.

  • Shopify Markets & Multi-Language Support

  • Add to Cart Widget – Persistent CTAs to increase conversion and attribution.

  • Content & Favorites Analytics – Track what shoppers actually engage with.

  • Extended ID Default Identifiers – Identify 5–10% more visitors automatically using common cookies.

Why this matters:
More personalized experiences, better attribution, and stronger performance without forcing logins.
