Phone Number

If the form on your website collects user’s phone number, you might want to send it to Klaviyo along with other data. You have to be cautious in this case. Klaviyo only accepts a fully formatted phone number including the country code before it. You need to ensure that a fully formatted phone number is sent. So there are two ways you can achieve it. 

Design your forms phone number field in a way that user also enters the country code number. It could be a dropdown where the country is selectable.

Or if you expect the visitors from the same country, you can use a simple phone number input box in the form. In this case, add the country prefix while setting up the integration. For example, if you expect all the users from Spain, add +34 before the phone number tag. The plugin will automatically add +34 before all the submitted phone numbers.

Add a fixed country code before the phone number
Double opt-in

Double opt-in option is activated by default for lists in Klaviyo. While it is activated, new contacts will get an email first. If they click on confirm on that email, they will be added to the list. If you want the submitted data to be added directly to the list (though it is not recommended), select single opt-in.

Log

After the integration is made, when users fill up the form and submit it, the plugin initiates the process of sending data to the configured platform. It also saves a log that includes what data it tried to send, and what it got in response from that platform. So if you find an integration is not working, your first task is to check the logs. Go to AFI > Log menu and check the recent logs.

Troubleshooting
Integration not working, contact not saving to Klaviyo account

If you encounter the problem that an integration was created but while testing no contact was added to Klaviyo, please review the following things:

  1. Always do tests with real email and phone numbers. Don't use test@test or a@b, etc. Modern platforms can understand that these are fake and ignores.

  2. If you are sending the phone number, make sure that it is fully formatted with the country code. See  the phone number section above for details.

  3. See the double opt-in option in the list settings. If it is activated users will get a confirmation email. List will be updated when they cofirm from the email. See the Double opt-in section above.

  4. Go to the Log menu and most probably you will find that some errors are logged. See the error message and try to fix accordingly.

  5. If you are still stuck with no results, please send an email to [email protected] with the necessary screenshots and a copy of the error log. We will be happy to help you.
