⚠️ This guide can take up to 30min to complete - it's highly recommend to allow the CreatorCommerce team to do this for you. Submit this form to enable the CreatorCommerce team to complete email setup for you.
However, if you'd like to learn and do this yourself, you can complete the remainder of this guide to accomplish a lightweight implementation.
Start in Klaviyo
This guide covers updates to Klaviyo emails specifically.
- Go to "Flows"
- Search for "Social Snowball" in the search bar
- Right click, and open each cloned Social Snowball flow in a new tab to make it easier to edit
Flow configuration edits
To account for the CreatorCommerce integration you'll need to update the structure of some of your flows.
Setup a conditional statement for CreatorCommerce campaigns VS standard campaigns
This ensures that affiliates receive Social Snowball emails that reflect if they should setup a CreatorCommerce shop or not.
- Add a 'Conditional split' block as the first step of each Social Snowball flow
- Set the condition to "Properties about someone", then "Program - Social Snowball", then "contains" and then "CC //", and save
- All current steps in the flow will be added to the "Yes" branch, within this branch clone all relevant steps all the way down the chain (Relevant for Time delays, Emails, and SMS)
- Within the "No" branch, recreate the same conditional statements that are contained in the "Yes"
- Move the duplicated steps over from the "Yes" branch to their relevant placements in the "No" branch
- As a result, you should have two identical branches, all with the same steps, stemming out of the conditional statement you added to the beginning of the flow

Adding a delay step to the "CC //" conditional branch
Delaying the conditional branch for CreatorCommerce-specific programs allows additional time for pending changes & syncing. It removes any possible discrepancies between discounts and affiliates between Social Snowball and CreatorCommerce.
- For select flows (listed below), add a "Time delay" block as the first step WITHIN the "Contains CC //" branch
- Set it to delay by 1 hour and save
- Make sure to do this for all flows listed below:
Relevant flows that need a 1 hour delay step

- Email - Template - Social Snowball - Manually Added Affiliates
- Email - Template - Social Snowball - Post purchase
- Email - Template - Social Snowball - Post sign up form
- Email - Template - Social Snowball - Program Changed
- CreatorCommerce Co-branded Shop Education Flow (Add the 1 hour delay as the first step of the flow)

Update profiles that get invited to CreatorCommerce
To support with any future tracking or reconciliation, it's recommended to update profile properties when a user has officially heard about the opportunity with CreatorCommerce.
- For the second step in the "Yes" branch, after the 1 hour delay (or as the first step if the flow does not have a 1 hour delay), add the "Profile property update" block
- For the configuration, select "Create new property" with a "Property Label" of "invited-to-creatorcommerce", a type of "Boolean", and a "Property Value" of "True". When complete select "Save".

Flow emails to edit with examples
The examples below provide a generic approach for updating your Social Snowball flows for CreatorCommerce. It's recommended to emphasize positioning & tone that better reflect the merits of your current affiliate programs.
Email - Template - Social Snowball - Affiliate discount code changed (instant)
No edits are needed for this email. Instead, ensure that no email is sent to affiliates that are on programs relevant to CreatorCommerce. In other words, delete the emails on the "Yes" branch for programs that contain "CC //".
