Migrate from Klaviyo

Move from Klaviyo to Sendora.

Move flows + segments + templates + BYOD email from Klaviyo to Sendora Automation + Email + SMS.

Total effort: 1-2 weeks depending on flow + template count.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    1. Export profiles + lists + segments

    Klaviyo Profiles + Lists API export to JSON. Custom Properties become Customer traits. Subscription preferences port to Sendora's preference center.

  2. 2

    2. Export flows + templates

    Klaviyo Flows API + Template API give you JSON + HTML. Map each Flow to a Sendora Automation journey.

    3. Bulk-import profiles + traits

    Data Sync module accepts JSONL profile import with trait mapping + dry-run preview. Suppressed addresses respected.

    4. Migrate BYOD email setup

    Add Sendora's DKIM + SPF + DMARC DNS records alongside Klaviyo's. Resend Domains integration verifies. Probation period applies to new senders — Klaviyo reputation doesn't transfer; warm Sendora's pool gently.

    5. Rebuild flows in Sendora Automation

    Liquid templates port nearly 1:1. Branching / delays / wait-for-event / audience-triggers all port directly. Klaviyo's predictive analytics (Predicted CLV, Churn Risk) ship as Sendora AI step types.

    6. Map Klaviyo events to Sendora events

    Klaviyo `Placed Order`, `Started Checkout`, etc. become Sendora `commerce.order_placed`, etc. (canonical taxonomy). Existing SDK calls update accordingly.

    7. Side-by-side test then sunset

    Parallel run for 2 weeks. Compare deliverability + engagement in Health module. Cut over once parity holds + cancel Klaviyo.

Watch-outs

  • Klaviyo Reviews / Subscriptions / Loyalty add-ons don't port — wire via Workflows + Webhooks or keep on Klaviyo standalone.
  • Shopify integration depth is years ahead in Klaviyo. If you're pure Shopify D2C, plan for a webhook-bridge between Shopify + Sendora.
  • Sendora's probation pool means slower initial volume during warmup — schedule migration during a low-volume period.
Lands you on

Email

BYOD email with real Resend Domains verification + content scanner + probation + recipient-dedup + Wave 1a consent gate. Same SDK as Push + SMS.

Resend ships transactional, Customer.io ships lifecycle, Mailchimp ships broadcasts — three vendors, three reputations, three audience exports. Sendora collapses senders: one BYOD setup, real Resend Domains verification (not optimistic stubs), DKIM signed by you, recipient-dedup at the dispatch layer (no duplicate sends after a signin), per-org rate limits + 30-day probation pool, signed bounce/complaint webhooks, RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe, opt-in consent enforcement on broadcast + workflow categories (Wave 1a). Honest about audience fan-out: `sendEmail` takes one recipient at a time — audience-driven fan-out happens via Automation workflows or your own iteration, not a single-call audience send.
