Klaviyo Flow Builder Basics

Demo summary
An overview of the flow interface, including selecting triggers (Added to List, Placed Order), adding profile filters, and using conditional splits.
Step-by-step
- Click Create Flow
- Select a trigger from the Recommended, Metrics, or All Triggers categories
- Select the specific list or metric that will initiate the flow
- Click Add Profile Filter to limit the flow to specific profiles
- Define conditions for the filter, such as 'What someone has done' or 'Person has placed order'
- Click Save and then Confirm to lock in the trigger selection
Options
- Trigger based on 'Added to List' for welcome series
- Trigger based on 'Checkout Started' or 'Added to Cart' for abandonment flows
- Trigger based on 'Date Property' for birthdays or purchase anniversaries
- Filter by specific items purchased using the filter button within a metric condition
- Use API integrations to trigger flows based on 'Active on Site' or quiz results
Watch out for
- Once you hit confirm and save, you cannot change the flow's trigger
- The interface may look different due to ongoing user experience testing by Klaviyo
- Filtering by specific items purchased requires an active Shopify integration
Tips
- Use a profile filter like 'Placed order zero times since starting this flow' to stop sending welcome emails to someone who has already purchased
- Celebrate milestones like the one-year anniversary of a customer's first purchase using date property triggers
- Differentiate between 'Added to Cart' and 'Checkout Started' triggers to create more specific abandonment flows
