Klaviyo + Growth Dept CRO

Put each visitor's test group on their Klaviyo profile, so flows and segments can follow what they saw on your store.

  • A cro_<test id> property on identified profiles
  • Connected with a private API key
  • Sent only after the shopper's consent
When a visitor Klaviyo has already identified enters a test, Growth Dept CRO sets a cro_<test id> property on their profile with the group they are in. Build a segment on it, or branch a flow.

Does Growth Dept CRO work with Klaviyo?

What reaches Klaviyo?

One profile property per test, named cro_<test id>, set to the visitor's group key.

Which visitors?

Visitors Klaviyo has already identified on your store, once their analytics consent allows it.

How does it connect?

An admin pastes a private Klaviyo API key in Integrations. The key is stored encrypted.

FAQ

Klaviyo questions

Does it send email addresses to Growth Dept?
No. The storefront sends Klaviyo's own exchange id for the visit, and Growth Dept CRO never stores it with the session.
Can I test emails themselves?
Yes, separately: email and SMS message tests split a template between two versions through the API.
