Klaviyo is a powerful email and SMS marketing tool that allows you to deliver targeted multi-channel marketing campaigns to your Bold Subscriptions customers using the data collected from your store.
Upon install, your store will be subscribed to a list of Bold webhooks. These webhooks are used to create and update customer profiles and events within the profiles in Klaviyo.
Note: The Bold integration with Klaviyo uses Klaviyo's new APIs. No further action is required. For more information, you can refer to Klaviyo's documentation.

Setup
Alert: This integration requires that you create an account in Bold Account Center. For more information on how to set this up, please visit Create & Connect a Bold Account.
Step 1: Connect Bold Subscriptions to Klaviyo
- Log into your Klaviyo account or create a new account.

Step 2: Set up Email Notifications
Bold Subscriptions releases the webhooks for Upcoming Subscription and Subscription Expiring Payment according to your email notification settings.
Pro-Tip: It is not necessary to activate the email notifications within Bold Subscriptions, however, you will need to update the settings for these emails in order manage the timing of these triggers.
- From within Bold Subscriptions, navigate to Settings > Email notifications.
- Select the ellipsis for Upcoming Order, and select Edit email template.
- Enter the number of days you want the notification to be sent out prior to the event.

Next Steps
Once Klaviyo is connected, the events are listed in Klaviyo’s dashboard only after they are triggered. To do this, you could create a new subscription with a new customer email, and then cancel the subscription. This will trigger the events:
- New Subscriber
- New Subscription
- Subscriptions Cancelled
In order to track your cancellation reasons, you'll need to create and cancel a test subscription using each of the reasons you have set up in Bold Subscriptions. For example, if you have three cancellation reasons such as "too expensive", "no longer interested", or "other", you will need to cancel your test subscription three times – once for each of reason.
Limitations
Klaviyo’s report of new subscriptions only account for new subscriptions which trigger the new subscription webhook. However, the new subscriptions total in the Bold Subscriptions dashboard includes both new subscriptions as well as reactivated subscriptions. For this reason, you may see inconsistencies between the Klaviyo dashboard and the Bold Subscriptions dashboard.
