Automate key messages quickly with 60+ pre-built flows

Select a pre-built flow template, add your branding, and customise with just a few clicks. All flow templates feature built-in split logic — no backend configuration necessary. Here are a few examples of popular flows that help brands drive more revenue on Klaviyo.

Intelligent automation meets easy customisation

Create custom flows that trigger timely experiences in response to a subscriber action, event, or milestone of your choice. Then, you can build branching conditions (“split logic”) for more relevant customer journeys.

Behaviours that trigger flows

  • Dates (anniversary, birthdays)

  • No engagement after a while

Split content by

  • New vs. returning customer

  • Visited site within the last 3 days vs. not

  • Viewed product vs. didn’t view product

  • Random sampling (for A/B testing)

Scale your impact with automation for email, SMS, push notifications, and more

Trigger platforms across your tech stack with webhooks

Automate real-time processes in another application or server by adding a webhook to your flow. Webhooks can send real-time information to any other platform you use.

Save time by using webhooks to trigger processes like:

  • Sending a thank you card to a new customer
  • Giving loyalty points when a subscriber fills out a form
  • Sending a gift card after a customer mentions you on social media

Wilkinson Sword increases revenue with automated flows

“We retarget people based on what they’ve clicked within an email. After they click, we send them another email that’s directly related to what they expressed an interest in. Through that we get really high open rates—around 60 percent—and also a really strong conversion rate.”
John Pagni, ecommerce assistant, Edgewell
