# Klaviyo

The Klaviyo integration helps importing Klaviyos audience lists into Captain Metrics "notification topics" subscriptions.

Email addresses coming from Klaviyo automatically create anonymous "users" in Captain Metrics if they don't exist yet.

The import will always skip notification topics "double opt-in" notifications.

Once activated, the integration will import new subscribers & unsubscribers every 12 hours.

## Integration

You need to grab your Klaviyo "Private API key" from the Account > Settings > API keys tab (<https://www.klaviyo.com/account#api-keys-tab>)

1\. Add a Klaviyo integration in your Captain Metrics project, and connect its API key.
