Email is the matching key on both sides: Klaviyo's Get Profile by Email finds the right profile, and Create or Update Profile upserts when it doesn't exist yet. Coming the other way, Ontraport's Create or Update Contact merges into an existing contact matched by email. ### ### Can a purchase in Ontraport feed a Klaviyo flow? Yes. A New Transaction in Ontraport can be tracked as an event on the buyer's Klaviyo profile with Create Event, which is what metric-triggered flows listen for. You can also tag the contact in Ontraport at the same time so both systems agree on who bought. ### ### What can start an automation from Klaviyo? Any of Klaviyo's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Event and New or Updated Profile. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Ontraport when something happens in Klaviyo? Any of Ontraport's 14 actions, including Create or Update Contact, Create Task, Create Object and Update Object. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Ontraport to Klaviyo? Yes. When something happens in Ontraport, your agent can act in Klaviyo too. This page covers both directions: Ontraport's triggers and Klaviyo's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Klaviyo or Ontraport? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Klaviyo and Ontraport without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
