You can use ReferralCandy events to set up your own campaign enrollment flows and send your referral emails from Klaviyo instead of ReferralCandy.
Note: Please disable sending Invite emails from your ReferralCandy Email Settings page to ensure that customers are not getting duplicate emails.
If you haven't yet, we recommend you first read the Klaviyo integration overview, ReferralCandy events and custom properties, and Setting up your email flows articles.
Post-Purchase Flow (Enrolled via post purchase)
You can incorporate ReferralCandy directly into your existing Customer Thank You flow using the available ReferralCandy custom properties.
If you wish to set up a standalone post-purchase flow for your referral program, you can use the Enrolled via post-purchase event to trigger the post-purchase email. Below is a guide on how to create this flow from scratch.
Create a flow from scratch and choose the RC - Enrolled via post purchase metric as the flow trigger. We recommend you set at least 10 minutes delay (as shown below) to make sure that custom properties are already updated for the customer.
Draft your email content and insert custom properties such as the customer’s referral link or sharing portal link.
