This SDK and its associated rubygem package are set to be deprecated on 2024-06-30 and will not receive further updates.
We recommend migrating over to our newest SDK.
You can read more about our SDK release history and support here
For a comparison between our old and new APIs, check out this guide.
NOTE: this change is not backwards compatible; migrating to the new SDK requires completing the following steps:
gem install klaviyo_sdk
From:
require 'klaviyo'To:
require 'klaviyo_sdk'from:
Klaviyo.private_api_key = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY'to:
Client.configure do |config|
config.api_key['ApiKeyAuth'] = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY'
endThe api_key is set at the global level: this means that if you manage multiple stores, you will need to run the code for each store in a different environment.
The new SDK has many name changes to both namespace and parameters (types+format). Please reference this section for a comprehensive list of examples.
Klaviyo is a real-time service for understanding your customers by aggregating all your customer data, identifying important groups of customers and then taking action. https://www.klaviyo.com/
- Track customers and events directly from your backend.
- Track customers and events via JavaScript using a Rack middleware.
- Access historical metric data.
- Manage lists and profiles in Klaviyo.
gem install klaviyo
Require the Klaviyo module in the file, and then set your Public and Private API keys:
# require the klaviyo module
require 'klaviyo'
# set your 6 digit Public API key
Klaviyo.public_api_key = 'YOUR_PUBLIC_API_KEY'
# set your Private API key
Klaviyo.private_api_key = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY'Public:
# used to track events
Klaviyo::Public.track(
'Filled out profile',
email: '[email protected]',
properties: {
'Added social accounts' : false
}
)
# using a phone number to track events
Klaviyo::Public.track(
'TestedSMSContact',
phone_number: '+15555555555',
properties: {
'Added social accounts' : false
}
)
# used for identifying customers and managing profile properties
Klaviyo::Public.identify(
email: '[email protected]',
properties: {
'$first_name': 'Thomas',
'$last_name': 'Jefferson',
'Plan': 'Premium'
}
)
# using a POST request to track events
Klaviyo::Public.track(
'Filled out profile',
method: 'post',
email: '[email protected]',
properties: {
'Added social accounts': false
}
)For Public API requests, you can set the Public API key per-request by using the 'token' keyword argument. This allows you to send track or identify requests to different Klaviyo accounts.
# sending a track request to account xXyYzZ
Klaviyo::Public.track(
'Filled out profile',
token: 'PUBLIC_API_TOKEN',
email: '[email protected]',
properties: {
'Added social accounts' : false
}
)
# sending an identify request to account xXyYzZ
Klaviyo::Public.identify(
email: '[email protected]',
token: 'PUBLIC_API_TOKEN',
properties: {
'$first_name': 'Thomas',
'$last_name': 'Jefferson',
'Plan': 'Premium'
}
)For all of the APIs listed below, each request will accept an optional 'api_key' keyword argument that can be used to set the Private API key for that request. Examples are provided below. All of the following methods will accept the 'api_key' keyword argument.
# to add a new list

require 'rack/klaviyo'
config.middleware.use "Klaviyo::Client::Middleware", "YOUR_PUBLIC_KLAVIYO_API_TOKEN"This will automatically insert the Klaviyo script at the bottom on your HTML page, right before the closing body tag.
To record customer actions directly from your backend, in your application_controller class add a method to initialize set your public and private API tokens.
require 'klaviyo'
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
Klaviyo.public_api_key = 'YOUR_PUBLIC_API_KEY'
Klaviyo.private_api_key = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY'
endThen in your controllers where you'd like to record an event:
Klaviyo::Public.track('Did something important',
email: '[email protected]',
properties:
{
key: 'value'
}
)
