[ 01 / 05 ]Step by step
How do I migrate from Klaviyo?
Klaviyo is the easiest platform to leave. Its API hands over every flow, step, and subject line.
Connect Klaviyo read-only
In Klaviyo, create a private API key with read access to Flows, Campaigns, and Lists. Paste it on your sending settings page. We never write to Klaviyo.
Import your suppressions first
In Klaviyo, open Audience → Profiles → Suppressed profiles and export the CSV. Import it as your block list, before a single send.
Import your profiles
Export your profiles and import the CSV. Custom properties become contact attributes.
Rebuild flows as paused automations
Your agent reads each flow's steps, delays, and subject lines, then rebuilds it here with templates rewritten in your brand. Every automation starts paused.
Test, then switch one flow
Send each email to your own inbox, point one trigger at Send & Retain, and turn the Klaviyo flow off. Revoke the key when you're done.

[ 04 / 05 ]Honest limits
What doesn't move from Klaviyo?
Flows, profiles, and unsubscribes move. A few things stay behind.
- Open and click history stays in Klaviyo. Contacts start without engagement history here.
- Campaigns to your whole list. If you send weekly newsletters, keep a tool for those.
- SMS, push, and WhatsApp steps. Send & Retain sends email only.
- Images hosted by Klaviyo. Move them before you cancel, or migrated templates break.
