Integrating with Klaviyo to send review follow-up emails

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

Updated over a week ago

Judge.me x Klaviyo review follow-up integration lets you send personalized follow-ups after a review or question is submitted. You can then:

  • 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.

This help you build stronger relationships by responding to customer interactions in real time and create a more engaging customer journey.


How it 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 the SubmittedReview 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.
