Klaviyo utilizes a drag and drop email composer. This lets you create your email designs with relative ease and gives you a preview of what the email will look like in subscribers’ inboxes.
That said, Klaviyo doesn’t sell themselves on great email design. While you’ll be able to create emails that are fully mobile responsive, Klaviyo’s not the tool for creating mind-blowing designs.
To create your first email campaign,click on the campaign from the sidebar, give the campaign a name and choose tags. Once you finish with this window you will be redirected to the recipients’ section.
Here you can play with including and excluding certain lists, use smart sending and UTM tracking.

Moving on to flows
-
In Klaviyo, a flow is an automated sequence that is set in motion by a specific trigger and then includes one or more steps. Flows can be built to send timely communications to recipients via email or SMS, or they can simply apply certain actions, like updating a specific field on a profile.
Klaviyo flows are designed to make it easy to initiate and nurture relationships with your subscribers and customers over the course of their lifecycle. With flows, you can automate emails that will help grow your business, without losing any of the personalization and relevancy needed to build strong customer loyalty.
The Klaviyo Flow Library has a range of pre-built flows that span the customer lifecycle. There are three ways you can filter your view to browse different options:
-
Type
-
Goal
-
Integration
If you want to create the flow from scratch just choose an option, name, tags, and triggers. You can go on to add actions, timing, and logic, just drag and drop them and your email automatization is done.
