Why Klaviyo and LoyaltyLion?

Klaviyo is built on a single idea: using data to drive your marketing delivers better results. The platform makes it easy to pull in important data, use it to personalize your marketing content, target your campaigns, review your results and optimize performance.

Using LoyaltyLion and Klaviyo together allows you to send SMS messages that your customers will look forward to receiving.


Benefits of integrating with Klaviyo

  • Engage with your audience and make time exclusive announcements that won't get lost in spam folders.

  • Increase customer acquisition with referral prompt SMS messages, so your customers always have their link in hand.

  • Target specific customer groups with segmentation.

3. On the left find Integrations and click Manage

What fields are synchronized to Klaviyo?

The same fields and properties used in Klaviyo emails can also be used in the Klaviyo SMS content, and the segments created for emails can also be used for SMS as well.


We currently sync the following merge fields to each member:

  • Points (total, approved, pending, spent, lifetime)

  • Number of rewards claimed

  • Date enrolled in the program

  • Customer's unique referral link

  • Loyalty Tier

  • Birthday

  • Insights segment

Complete list:

Total Points (approved and pending points): points_total

Approved (redeemable) points: points_approved

Pending points: points_pending

Lifetime points: points_lifetime

Spent points: points_spent

Number of rewards claimed: rewards_claimed

Date enrolled in the program: enroll_date

Referral URL: referral_url

Loyalty Tier: loyalty_tier

Birthday: birthday

Insights segment: insights_segment

Don't be alarmed if you can't see the fields in Klaviyo right away after you integrate. The initial sync might take a moment to push all the properties, however, once it's done, fields will be pushed in real-time.


You can find the fields in the tab Profiles in Klaviyo and by clicking on a specific customer's account.
