Integration Logic

  • Klaviyo Connect for Shopify

    This integration creates a data enrichment and personalization workflow. It begins when a customer places an order in Shopify, which triggers a post-purchase email from a Klaviyo flow. This email contains a unique link to a Typeform survey, with the customer's email passed as a hidden field. When the customer completes the survey, Typeform sends the responses via webhook to the integration platform. The platform then identifies the customer's profile in Klaviyo using their email and updates it with the survey answers as custom properties. These new properties are used to segment customers in Klaviyo, allowing for highly targeted follow-up campaigns based on their feedback and preferences.
