Klaviyo: Set up an automated welcome series flow

Demo summary

Shows how to build a welcome flow triggered by a list subscription, including adding filters (placed order zero times) and configuring time delays between emails.

Step-by-step

  1. Navigate to the Flows section in Klaviyo
  2. Set the trigger to 'Newsletter' so profiles are added when they join the list
  3. Add a flow filter for 'Placed Order zero times since starting this flow'
  4. Configure the first email with a subject line, preview text, and template
  5. Drag a 'Time Delay' component from the left sidebar and set it to 1 day
  6. Add subsequent emails and SMS messages separated by 1-day delays
  7. Click 'Review and turn on' to set the flow live

Options

  • Add SMS messages to the drip sequence
  • Check the analytics dashboard deliverability score to gauge if the frequency is too high

Watch out for

  • Ensure the content is different inside every single email in the welcome series

Tips

  • Use a 1-day wait delay to stay top of mind without being too spammy
  • Avoid waiting 3 days between emails as subscribers may forget who you are
  • Aim for a deliverability score over 80 on your reports
