PushOwl, as part of Brevo, provides a seamless migration experience from Klaviyo to Brevo.

Overview of Migration Services

PushOwl/Brevo makes it straightforward to transfer your profiles from Klaviyo to Brevo. Data migration includes automatic sync of your Klaviyo lists and segments into PushOwl & Brevo with all the customer profiles created in Brevo as contacts. The subscription status is maintained as per what we fetch from Shopify, however.

The PushOwl x Klaviyo integration allows you to sync customer data and automate personalized email/SMS marketing campaigns. Engage effectively with your customer base using Klaviyo's robust email and SMS marketing features directly integrated with your e-commerce operations.

Steps for Migrating Profiles

Follow these steps to ensure a smooth migration from Klaviyo to Brevo:

  • Synchronize Klaviyo with Shopify: Ensure that your Klaviyo account is synced with Shopify. This ensures that customer tags and subscription statuses are accurate and up-to-date.

  • Log in to PushOwl Dashboard - Access your PushOwl dashboard and log in with your credentials.

  • Navigate to Integration Settings In your PushOwl dashboard, click on Settings. Under Settings, select Integrations.

  • Activate Klaviyo Integration Find the "Klaviyo" tile in the integrations section. You will be prompted to enter an API token generated from the Klaviyo account.

  • Generate Klaviyo API Token: Steps to Create a New API Key in Klaviyo. Log in to your Klaviyo account. Go to Integrations → Developer → Manage API Keys. Click Create Private API Key and provide a meaningful name to easily identify its purpose.

  • Set the following required API permissions for smooth integration:

  5. Read Accounts

  • Click Activate to finalize the API key setup.

  • Copy the generated API token and paste it into the PushOwl integration setup panel.

Important Considerations

Data Discrepancies

  • Please note that Klaviyo to Brevo syncs might show data discrepancies due to:

    • Invalid contacts (e.g., malformed emails, invalid SMS numbers).

    • Duplicate contacts

Default Field Mapping

  • The integration uses default mapping for syncing standard contact fields. Custom field mapping or advanced configurations are not supported directly in the UI.

Subscription Status Sync

  • The integration checks whether each contact is subscribed or unsubscribed to email and SMS in Klaviyo and syncs that status to Brevo. Opt-out choices are preserved during the migration.
