I want to subscribe a user with email and their name, but it gives this error: 'first_name' is not a valid field for the resource 'profile'.

Im using the Klaviyo PHP SDK.

It works if i just remove first_name and last_name from attributes… But i want to include the name.
Code:

$klaviyo->Profiles->subscribeProfiles([
    "data" => [
        'type'          => 'profile-subscription-bulk-create-job',
        'attributes'    => [
            'custom_source' => 'Marketing Event',
            'profiles'      => [

                'data' => [
                    [
                        'type'       => 'profile',

                        'attributes' => [
                            'email'         => 'email@email.com',
                            'first_name'=>'firstname',
                            'last_name'=>'lastname',
                            'subscriptions' => [
                                'email' => [
                                    'marketing' => [
                                        'consent' => 'SUBSCRIBED',
                                    ],
                                ],
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ],
        'relationships' => [
            'list' => [
                'data' => [
                    'type' => 'list',
                    'id'   => 'MYLISTID',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
]);

Hey there @AlexVjm,

 

I thought you must have a syntax error or something but no! It doesn’t work! I can confirm that adding a first_name (or $first_name, firstName, $firstName, properties: { first_name }, etc.) does not work for the bulk-subscribe endpoint.

You are returned the following error:

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "id": "d121de2f-710b-4d2f-a6cb-d0723610ed93",
            "status": 400,
            "code": "invalid",
            "title": "Invalid input.",
            "detail": "'$firstname' is not a valid field for the resource 'profile'.",
            "source": {
                "pointer": "/data/attributes/profiles/data/0/attributes/$firstname"
            },
            "meta": {}
        }
    ]
}

The documentation reflects this: the only attributes available are email, phone, and subscriptions.

But this can’t be right…

 

Anyone else know how to include profile properties on the bulk subscribe endpoint?

 

Cheers,

Kevin.

    Hi @AlexVjm 
    maybe late but hope it could be usefull for similar task.
    latest api version revision: 2024-05-15 show that you need to create profile to add user details
     

    {
  "data": {
    "type": "profile",
    "attributes": {
      "email": "sarah.mason@klaviyo-demo.com",
      "phone_number": "+15005550006",
      "first_name": "Sarah",
      "last_name": "Mason",
      "organization": "Example Corporation",
      "title": "Regional Manager",
      "image": "https://images.pexels.com/photos/3760854/pexels-photo-3760854.jpeg",
      "location": {
        "address1": "89 E 42nd St",
        "address2": "1st floor",
        "city": "New York",
        "country": "United States",
        "region": "NY",
        "zip": "10017",
        "timezone": "America/New_York",
        "ip": "127.0.0.1"
      },
      "properties": {
        "newKey": "New Value"
      }
    }
  }
}

    so easier way is Create Profile details, store klaviyo Profile ID and then subscribe to list using email or ID just generate
     

    ​​​​​​​$klaviyo->Profiles->createProfile($body);
$klaviyo->Profiles->subscribeProfiles($body);
