Step 3. Add a UTM parameter to Klaviyo links

Default custom profile properties
Now, when contacts are added to Klaviyo from Attentive, they include default custom profile properties (as described in the table below). If you checked the Pass additional attributes to Klaviyo box in Step 2, the attributes that you are collecting through your onsite sign-up unit are also sent back to your Klaviyo account.

Sync email lists from Klaviyo
Attentive supports the ability to automatically sync opt-ins and opt-outs between your Attentive and Klaviyo email lists.
Notes:
- If you send email from both Attentive and Klaviyo, we recommend enabling this functionality. Contact your Attentive CSM and Product Specialist to enable it.
- List-specific opt-in syncing from Klaviyo to Attentive is only available to brands who use Attentive in the US and don’t plan to launch Attentive in other countries.
Notes on syncing Attentive and Klaviyo email lists
If syncing is enabled between Attentive and Klaviyo, keep in mind that Attentive and Klaviyo manage email subscription statuses differently:
- In Attentive, subscribers are added to a global email subscription list. They’re either subscribed to all marketing emails or none at all.
- In Klaviyo, subscribers are added to individual lists and to a global email subscription list.
Because Attentive and Klaviyo manage subscriptions differently, the integration handles syncing between the two differently:
- If someone opts out of a Klaviyo email list selected in Attentive, the integration opts them out of Attentive marketing emails.
- If someone opts out of the global Klaviyo email marketing list, the integration opts them out of Attentive marketing emails.
- If someone opts out of Attentive marketing emails, the integration opts them out of all Klaviyo email marketing lists.
- If someone opts in to a Klaviyo email list selected in Attentive, the integration opts them into Attentive marketing emails.
- If someone opts in to Attentive marketing emails, the integration opts them into the Klaviyo email list selected in Attentive.
Opt-ins and opt-outs from Attentive to Klaviyo happen in real time. Opt-ins and opt-outs from Klaviyo to Attentive aren’t real-time, but they do happen at least every eight hours.
Opt-in sync for customers using international email isn’t currently supported.
