With Returnflows’ integration to Klaviyo, you can automatically send return-related data directly to your email marketing platform.

You can use these events to:

  • Trigger automated email flows

  • Build audiences and segments

  • Personalize communication based on return status


🔧 How to activate the integration

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations

  2. Find Klaviyo and click Install

  3. Paste your Private API Key from Klaviyo

You can find your key in Klaviyo under:
Account → Settings → API Keys → Create Private API Key

  1. Click Connect
    → The integration is now active, and Returnflows will begin sending real-time events to Klaviyo.


⚙️ What events are sent?

Returnflows sends the following return-related events to Klaviyo:

Event

Description

Return Created

When a customer starts a new return

Return Received

When we receive a tracking update ("package handed in")

Return Paused

When an exchange order is paused (typically waiting for return to be received)

Return Closed

When a return is processed and completed

Return Canceled

When a return is canceled

All events are sent as Custom Events tied to the customer’s email in Klaviyo.


🔁 How to use these events in Klaviyo

You can use these events to:

  • Trigger email flows

  • Build segments (e.g., customers with unreturned items)

  • Follow up if a return was started but not yet completed

  • Launch a "Gift card sent" campaign after Return Closed

You’ll find Returnflows events in Klaviyo under Analytics → Metrics.


🎯 Example: Flow triggered by “Return Created”

Flow setup in Klaviyo:

  • Trigger: Event = Return Created

  • Wait: 7 days

  • Condition: Return not received

  • Send email: “Do you need help with your return?...”


🔧 Example: Flow triggered by “Return Closed”

Flow setup in Klaviyo:

  • Trigger: Event = Return Closed

  • Wait: None

  • Send email: “Your return has now been processed...”
