💡 Prerequisites
A Klaviyo private API key will be needed.
Octane Plus is required for certain Klaviyo features.
For the Klaviyo private API key, make sure that the access level is set to Full Access.
How Octane AI's Klaviyo integration works
The core value in Octane AI's Klaviyo integration is the ability to pass on any data you collect in a quiz into Klaviyo along with a customer's email or SMS opt-in.
The data that can be passed on includes:
Answers
Recommended products
Results page URL
Email
SMS
In Klaviyo, this data can be used to segment customers, trigger & filter flows and even create dynamic email content.
🔎 How syncing data works
When someone takes a quiz and submits an email or SMS opt-in, their quiz data as well as their opt-in will automatically be sent to Klaviyo as long as the integration has been connected.
There may be some cases where the profile or data doesn't fully sync. The most common causes for this are:
Double opt-in is enabled for your list
The private API key you used doesn't have Full Access enabled
Custom properties are mislabeled in the quiz editor
Connecting Octane AI with Klaviyo
Once you've created a private API key in Klaviyo for the Octane AI integration, you can follow the steps below.
📕 Connecting Klaviyo to Octane AI
In Octane AI, go to the Integrations page.
Next to Klaviyo, click the "Add" button.
In the integration form, add your private API key.
(OPTIONAL) Select a list for all Octane AI contacts to sync to.
If you don't select a list in step 4, emails & SMS will still be sent to Klaviyo with quiz data but they won't be added to any particular list.
These customers will still be able to be segmented, added to flows and so on.
How to verify your quiz data
Before syncing any data into Klaviyo, it's best to make sure that your quiz data is labeled correctly. This can be done by opening your quiz in the quiz editor and checking the Connect tab. The Connect tab will show what the custom properties that correspond to each answer & results page look like.
These properties represent:
Quiz answers
Quiz results
Octane AI lists
Quiz result page URL (Octane Plus)
Although custom properties should match your quiz content, they can sometimes be de-synced when a quiz is created from a template or when content is copied.
Registering quiz data in Klaviyo
Once you've verified that your data matches your answers (or you've customized them the way you'd like), the data will need to be sent to Klaviyo at least once before it can be targeted by Klaviyo features.
📕 Adding quiz data to Klaviyo with an opt-in
You can use an opt-in through a published quiz to register data into Klaviyo. This will first require you to add a quiz to a webpage where you can do test runs.
Then, any answers & results page you encounter along with your opt-in will be registered in Klaviyo.
📕 Adding quiz data to Klaviyo manually
Custom properties can also be added into Klaviyo manually inside of individual profiles.
This is a quick way to register your quiz data! When a custom property is manually added just once into a profile, it will then be registered for all Klaviyo features.
