Learn how to connect Superfiliate to Klaviyo and build 4 creator-driven email flows that segment customers by creator and reference them in lifecycle emails.

Why Your Creator Program Needs Superfiliate + Klaviyo Together

‍

CreatorCommerce enables brands to layer email automation on top of creator-driven sales. When you connect Superfiliate to Klaviyo, you unlock the ability to segment customers by creator, reference creators in lifecycle emails, and build attribution-driven campaigns that reward your top performers. This guide walks you through setup and shows you exactly which flows to build first.

‍

Email is still the highest-ROI channel for e-commerce—but most brands waste it by treating all customers the same. When you know who referred a customer, you can personalize the entire journey. Superfiliate tracks creator attribution at purchase time. Klaviyo automates the email experience. Together, they let you reward creators in real-time and deepen relationships with their audiences.

‍

Cozy Earth saw a 214% CVR increase by connecting affiliate attribution to post-purchase messaging. The secret: they referenced the creator who referred each customer in thank-you emails, creating a sense of community and trust. That's not possible without integration.

‍

What the integration gives you: creator-aware segmentation (send different welcome flows based on which creator link the customer used), attribution in lifecycle emails (thank-you emails and win-back campaigns mention the creator by name), loyalty rewards tied to source (offer exclusive discounts to customers from top-performing creators), and performance feedback loops (creators see how many customers engaged with emails that mentioned them).

‍

How Do You Connect Superfiliate to Klaviyo?

‍

Step 1: Gather Your API Keys

‍

You'll need two pieces of authentication: your Superfiliate API key (found in Settings → Integrations) and your Klaviyo private API key (generate in Settings → API Keys). Keep these secure—treat API keys like passwords.

‍

Step 2: Map Event Data from Superfiliate

‍

Superfiliate fires events every time someone clicks a creator link or completes a purchase. Decide which events Klaviyo should listen for: signup via creator link (triggers welcome flow), purchase with creator attribution (triggers thank-you flow), and creator ID/handle (used for segmentation). Verify in your integration settings that Superfiliate is sending the creator identifier as a custom property.

‍

Step 3: Test Data Sync

‍

Place a test order using a creator link. Wait 5–10 minutes. Check in Klaviyo that the order appears in your metrics dashboard, the customer profile includes the creator attribution field, and the creator handle is formatted correctly. If data doesn't sync, check that your API keys have read/write permissions and that Superfiliate's webhook is active.

‍

Step 4: Set Up Custom Properties in Klaviyo

‍

Create a custom profile property called creator_source or attributed_creator. This field stores the name or ID of the creator who referred the customer. Klaviyo populates it automatically from Superfiliate's event data. Consider adding a secondary property—creator_referral_date—to track when the customer first arrived via a creator.

‍

Step 5: Build Your First Flow

‍

Create a simple welcome flow triggered by "Purchase with creator attribution." In the email body, use Klaviyo's merge tags to insert the creator's name. Send a test email to yourself and verify the merge tag populates correctly. If it does, your integration is live.

‍

What Are the 4 Essential Email Flows to Build?

‍

Creator Welcome Flow: Introduce the Community on Day 1

‍

When it triggers: A customer places their first order via a creator link.

‍

What it does: Within 24 hours, send a welcome email that names the creator and frames the purchase as joining a community, not just buying a product.

‍

This frame works because it creates social proof at the exact moment the customer is most engaged. They chose this creator by clicking their link. Now you're validating that choice.

‍

Segment: All customers where creator_source is not empty. Timing: Send 24 hours after purchase. If they open, send a follow-up with a creator-scoped discount code at 72 hours.

‍

Post-Purchase Creator Attribution Flow: Gamify the Referral

‍

When it triggers: Any customer completes a purchase with creator attribution data.

‍

What it does: Reference the creator in your standard post-purchase sequence. Order confirmation (hour 0): mention the creator and encourage a review tag. Shipping notice (day 2): link to the creator's content. Delivery notice (day 5): invite feedback and reference the creator.

‍

This creates a three-way relationship: brand ↔ customer ↔ creator. The customer feels seen. The creator feels accountable. The brand owns the conversation.

‍

Creator Re-Engagement Flow: Win Back Lost Customers

‍

When it triggers: A customer hasn't opened an email or made a purchase in 60+ days.

‍

What it does: Instead of generic "We miss you" copy, reference the creator who referred them. Re-engagement is about reminding people why they bought in the first place. The creator becomes your re-engagement hook.

‍

Segment: Customers with creator_source populated + last purchase >60 days ago + no email opens in last 30 days. Timing: Send at 60 days. If no conversion, follow up at 75 days with a stronger offer.

‍

Creator-Segmented Campaign Flow: Exclusive Audiences

‍

When it triggers: Manually, when you want to promote a new product to a specific creator's audience.

‍

What it does: Send campaigns only to customers referred by a specific creator. Customize the message for that audience. This rewards high-performing creators with exclusive promotional access to their fans. Send 2–3 days before the product goes live to non-referred customers for first-mover advantage.

‍

How Does CreatorCommerce Extend Superfiliate + Klaviyo?

‍

CreatorCommerce does something Superfiliate alone doesn't: it writes the creator handle directly into the cart as a custom attribute (cc-creator-handle). This means Klaviyo doesn't just know that there's attribution—it knows exactly which creator at every step of the journey.

‍

Here's what that unlocks: merge tags with full creator name and profile link (not just "a creator" but the specific person), dynamic creator imagery in emails (pull the creator's photo from their CreatorCommerce profile into the template), real-time creator performance dashboards (creators see email open rates and revenue attributed to campaigns that mentioned them), and automated creator payouts based on email-driven sales.

‍

For brands using Superfiliate, CreatorCommerce is a plug-on layer that adds these capabilities without replacing your existing workflows.

FAQ

‍

Can I use this integration with Social Snowball or Refersion instead of Superfiliate?

‍

Yes. The principles apply to any affiliate platform that integrates with Klaviyo. The merge tags and flow logic are the same. The main difference is how attribution data is passed into Klaviyo—check your platform's documentation for the exact event mapping.

‍

What if a customer comes through multiple creator links?

‍

Superfiliate (and most affiliate platforms) attributes the purchase to the last-click creator. Klaviyo stores that single source. For full attribution path tracking, you'll need a more advanced analytics tool, but for email segmentation, last-click is the standard.

‍

How often does data sync between Superfiliate and Klaviyo?

‍

Real-time, via webhook. As soon as Superfiliate records a purchase or click, it sends the data to Klaviyo. You should see attribution data in Klaviyo profiles within seconds of purchase.

‍

Can I segment by creator in Klaviyo without CreatorCommerce?

‍

Yes, but less precisely. Superfiliate will pass creator attribution into Klaviyo, and you can segment on that field. CreatorCommerce enhances this by baking the creator handle into the cart, giving you richer data and enabling more dynamic email personalization.

‍

Which flows should I build first?

‍

Start with the Creator Welcome Flow and Post-Purchase Attribution Flow. These two alone will show you the immediate ROI of creator-aware email. Once those are running, layer on re-engagement and segmented campaigns.

‍
