Plans: Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Advanced, API users Platforms: All platforms

Overview



The AfterShip & Klaviyo Integration empowers users to trigger personalized notifications based on their order or shipment status.

What you’ll learn



In this tutorial, we’ll discuss

Create a flow metric
Set up trigger filters
Add a trigger split
AfterShip flow metric
Required API resources for metrics
Skip Historical events
Understanding Stalled metrics
Understanding trigger frequency
AfterShip flow trigger filters and splits

Create a flow metric



Here’s how you can set up a basic post-purchase flow:

Navigate to the Flows tab
Click Create Flow


Choose Create from Scratch
Select a metric to trigger the flow


If you see duplicate metrics, it's because you have both Basic and Advanced integrations. Learn more about the differences here.

Set up trigger filters



You can use trigger filters to narrow the scope and target only a subset of the shipments. Refer to the steps below for setting up the trigger filter:

On the flow editor, navigate to the Trigger tab
Click Trigger Filters
Choose the event that you need to narrow down the scope


Add a trigger split



A trigger split, part of the Visual Flow Builder, divides a flow into two paths based on the filter applied to the flow trigger. Follow these steps to add a trigger split:

On the flow editor, navigate to the Trigger tab
Drag the Trigger Split from the left-hand side panel


Select the event that you want to split the flow

AfterShip flow metric



With an active AfterShip integration in your Klaviyo account, you can unlock these event metrics for Flows:

Skip Historical events



To ensure timely and relevant messaging, AfterShip refrains from sending historical events to Klaviyo for certain occurrences. Historical events, defined as those transpiring 36-72 hours ago, are excluded to prevent shoppers from receiving outdated notifications.

For instance, if a delivery event is passed to AfterShip by the carrier and it occurred more than 72 hours ago from the moment AfterShip receives it, the event will not be forwarded to Klaviyo, ensuring notifications are current and accurate.

The table below outlines the logic governing the historical window for each event.

MetricsSkip logic
AfterShip: Pre-ship - Order confirmationAfterShip sends the event info to Klaviyo upon Order import with the condition that the order has been placed within the last 72 hours.
AfterShip: Pre-ship - Fulfilled partial orderAfterShip sends the event info to Klaviyo when there is a new fulfillment created under an order. Notifications are excluded if shipment import occurs more than 72 hours after order fulfillment.
AfterShip: Delivery summary - All Items fulfilledAfterShip sends the event info to Klaviyo when an order’s fulfillment status turns “Fulfilled”. Notifications are excluded if shipment import occurs more than 72 hours after order fulfillment.
AfterShip: Delivery summary - All Items DeliveredAfterShip sends the event info to Klaviyo when an order’s all shipments get delivered. Notifications are excluded if shipment import occurs more than 72 hours after order fulfillment.
AfterShip: Delivery updates - "Info received," "AfterShip: Delivery updates - In transit," "AfterShip: Delivery updates - Delivered," "AfterShip: Delivery exceptions - Returning to sender," "AfterShip: Delivery exceptions - Returned to sender"AfterShip sends the event info to Klaviyo when the courier passes events to AfterShip, provided the event occurred within the last 72 hours. Notifications are excluded if shipment import exceeds 72 hours after the event.
AfterShip: Delivery updates - "Out for delivery," "AfterShip: Delivery updates - Available for pick up," "AfterShip: Delivery exceptions - General exception," "AfterShip: Delivery exceptions - Failed attempt"AfterShip sends the event info to Klaviyo when the courier passes events to AfterShip, provided the event occurred within the last 36 hours. Notifications are excluded if shipment import exceeds 36 hours after the event


Understanding Stalled metrics



For FulfillmentStalled and ShipmentStalled, the default stalled timeframe is set to 72 hours. You can adjust this in the configuration panel at any time. It's essential to note that changes are not retroactive and apply only to new orders placed after updating settings.

The "Stalled" flag is not a real-time status. It gets added to an order once the stalled criteria are met and is not removed thereafter.

ShipmentStalled triggers notifications for a shipment without updates within the specified timeframe, regardless of its current status. To restrict this trigger to a specific status, choose the relevant status during configuration.

Step to configure stalled timeframe

Navigate to Apps
Locate your Klaviyo integration
Click Settings
Here you can customize your Stalled timeframe.


Understanding trigger frequency



Notifications are generally triggered once for most metrics. However, specific metrics have exceptions, resulting in multiple notifications sent out at a frequency of 24 hours. Here's a breakdown:

Metrics with 24-Hour Trigger Frequency:

AfterShip: Delivery updates - Out for delivery
AfterShip: Delivery exceptions - General exception
AfterShip: Delivery exceptions - Failed attempt
AfterShip: EDD - Delivery anticipation
AfterShip: EDD - EDD revised
AfterShip: EDD - EDD missed
