I’m new and have a install klaviyo to my shopify store. Previously the email list from shopify was with automizely and when I changed to klaviyo everything populated smoothly to profile. but I could not populate the profiles to my newsletter list so I  imported the cvs file instead.

Now I have created a flow with email 1 and email 2 to work with the segment that is populated from the cvs file. 

in the same flow with the same segment list; email 1 fired but didnt have any addresses but email 2 has address. how in the world do I get the address on email 1?

Hi @stacy welcome to the Klaviyo Community!

In order to get users who may have missed an email in a sequence of a flow, we would have to back populate the flow. By following our help article, this will help back-fill users who may have missed an email in your flow. If you want more details on how back-populating works, read How Back-Populating Works in Klaviyo.

A side question, do you happen to have any analytics in the first flow email logged i.e. skips? This would help find reasons why the flow email #1 was not sent but #2 was. If not, I would continue to back populate to retroactively fill folks from the top down. That would be using the “schedule recipients relative to when I click the back populate button” option.

Hope this helped and thanks for being a part of the Community,

Alex
