A Guide to Integrating with Klaviyo's API
Blog post from Pandium
Klaviyo is a marketing automation platform widely utilized by eCommerce brands to engage customers through email, SMS, and push notifications, ultimately aiming to boost retailer revenue. The platform's API, though extensive and complex, is well-documented and developer-friendly, offering various authentication methods including API key and OAuth, with OAuth being recommended for its enhanced security and user management capabilities. Integrating with Klaviyo allows businesses to synchronize customer data, send notifications for order updates, new products, or stock alerts, and organize customers by their purchasing history. The API supports JSON:API specifications, enabling efficient data filtering, sorting, and fetching of related resources. Integration can be triggered manually, via API actions, scheduled cron jobs, or webhooks, with Klaviyo offering both flow and system webhooks for diverse needs. The platform also employs API versioning through revisions, requiring integrations to be updated periodically to adapt to changes and maintain compatibility.
