Marsello + Klaviyo Integration

Q: Is there a historical sync as part of this integration? Do historical order sync?


​A: Yes, Marsello will automatically sync across the last 6-months worth of events e.g. orders, loyalty activities etc.


Q: Where does Marsello sync the data into in Klaviyo? Is it synced to a list?

A: Marsello seamlessly syncs data directly into the customer profiles. By not syncing to a list, you have the flexibility to create lists using the Marsello data itself. This streamlined approach ensures that the data is readily available within each customer's profile, enabling you to effortlessly access and utilize it for various purposes. Whether you're creating personalized segments, implementing targeted campaigns, or analyzing customer behavior, Marsello empowers you to leverage its data-rich customer profiles to drive effective marketing strategies.


Q: How often does the sync to Klaviyo happen?


​A: The sync to Klaviyo is in real-time (up to 10mins).


Q: I already have my eCommerce orders syncing to Klaviyo, do I need to also sync them through from Marsello?

A: There's no harm in having both enabled, as Marsello syncs to different event fields in Klaviyo.

For instance, while Shopify syncs to one event field, Marsello syncs to its own distinct event field. The advantage of this dual syncing approach lies in the ability to easily segment and analyze all order data from a single event. For example, if you want to identify all customers who had purchased "Red Umbrella". By utilizing both platforms, they would be able to effortlessly locate a group of customers who had made this specific purchase, whether in-store or online.

Such valuable insights can then be utilized for various email campaigns, such as sending "follow-up care instructions" or implementing "replenishment" automations. The convenience of having consolidated order data at your disposal opens up a world of possibilities for effective customer communication and targeted marketing strategies.


Q. I've received an action required RE: Klaviyo Legacy v1/v2 API Retirement email. Is there anything I need to in Marsello from an integration perspective?

Q: How does Marsello match customer profiles in Klaviyo? Do they create duplicates?

  • If the customer already exists in Klaviyo, their profile will be updated with the Marsello account data.

  • If the customer does not exist in Klaviyo, a new customer profile will be created for them.

This ensures that duplicates are not created, and the customer data is seamlessly integrated into Klaviyo.


Q: If a customer opts out or unsubscribes to Klaviyo marketing, will they also be unsubscribed in Marsello?

  • marsello_loyalty_points_balance

  • marsello_total_points_collected

  • marsello_loyalty_tier
