Integrating with Klaviyo to send review follow-up emails

Automate targeted follow-up emails using the Judge.me and Klaviyo integration.

Updated this week

Use Judge.me and Klaviyo together to trigger personalized follow-ups after a review or question is submitted. Stay connected with customers and turn feedback into action.


Why use this integration

Follow-up flows help you build stronger relationships by responding to customer interactions in real time. You can:

  • Offer support after a negative review to recover the experience.

  • Thank satisfied customers and build loyalty.

  • Encourage shoppers who submit questions to make a purchase.

By automating these touchpoints, you save time and create a more engaging customer journey.


How the integration works

Here’s a quick look at how follow-up emails are sent via Klaviyo after the integration is enabled:

  1. Your customer submits a new review or question.

  2. We send a review event to Klaviyo.

  3. This event can be used as a trigger in your Klaviyo flows to:

    • Segment users by sentiment or product engagement.

    • Personalize email content with review data.

Here's the list of events we send to Klaviyo:

Example of an event:


Considerations

  • Review events are sent for both published and hidden reviews.

  • Imported reviews do not trigger events.

  • The customer must already be on your Klaviyo subscriber list for events to be recorded in their Klaviyo profile.

  • While you can use the review events we send to Klaviyo to trigger a reward flow, it's not possible to send Judge.me-generated coupons to Klaviyo. If you want to send coupons via Klaviyo, you’ll need to create and manage them directly in Klaviyo.


Set up the Klaviyo integration

Step 1: Connect Klaviyo to Judge.me via OAuth

  1. From your Judge.me admin, go to Settings > Integrations.

  2. Search for Klaviyo, then click the Klaviyo integration card.

  3. Click the Connect button.

  4. Click Allow to authorize Judge.me to access your Klaviyo data.

Step 2: Enable review triggers

Once you've connected Judge.me and Klaviyo:

  1. Scroll down to the Review triggers section and enable "Send trigger when a new review or question is submitted".

  2. In the Threshold for positive reviews field, choose from the following options:

    • "Only 5-star reviews"

    • "At least 4 stars"

    • "At least 3 stars"

    • "At least 2 stars"

    • "All reviews are positive"

  3. Click Save.

Step 3: Submit a test review

As an event will only be triggered for new reviews or questions, you'd need to create a test review to see the event in Klaviyo.

To submit a test review:

  • From any of your product pages, click the Write a review button and submit a review using your email address.

Once the test review is submitted, to see the event:

  • From your Klaviyo admin, in the left panel, go to Analytics > Metrics.

  • You'll be able to search for these events: SubmittedReview, SubmittedPositiveReview, or SubmittedNegativeReview.

Step 4: Build your flow in Klaviyo

  1. From your Klaviyo admin, go to Flows > Create flow > Build your own.

  2. In the Select a trigger panel, select Your metrics > API > SubmittedReview.

  3. Add filters (e.g. product title, review rating) if needed.

  4. Design the flow and activate it.
