How to segment your customers in Klaviyo

You can use the properties to segment your customers. You can do this by following the below steps:

  1. Click on the Lists & Segments


2. In the top right corner click on the Create List/Segment

3. Add a new definition and click on Dimension. LoyaltyLion properties should be visible on the drop-down menu under Custom properties


Adding LoyaltyLion Data to your Klaviyo SMS Messages

You can use the above properties that you would typically use for your segmentation, as dynamic properties within your SMS messages, called Personalisations.

You can add these through the Personalisation option in the Content screen. This will then update with a value on the preview on the right. You can only add one Personalisation per SMS.
