How does Klaviyo work for Customer Retention automation?
Klaviyo works for Customer Retention automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Klaviyo alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Customer Retention, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Spot accounts in @HubSpot that haven't logged in for 21 days
AI identifies at-risk customers before they leave using engagement and behavior signals.
- 03
Draft a personal check-in
Teams typically see early before the renewal window once the agent is in production.
- 04
Loop in their CSM if they don't reply
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Actions
What Klaviyo + DeskFerry can do
Real Klaviyo actions your AI agent can perform automatically — no manual work required.
Add Profile to List
Add profiles to a klaviyo list by profile ids or email addresses. this action subscribes profiles to a marketing list, which is ideal for giving marketing consent. you can add up to 1000 profiles per call using either their klaviyo profile ids or email addresses. rate limits: 10/s burst, 150/m steady. required scopes: `lists:write` and `profiles:write`. preconditions: - either profile ids or emails must be provided (not both) - maximum 1000 profiles per call - email addresses must be valid format - the list must exist and be accessible
Bulk create client events
Use the client-side endpoint with a public api key to track profile activity. it accepts up to 1000 events/request with rates of 10/s burst and 150/m steady. for server-side, use the bulk create event endpoint.
Bulk create events
This api endpoint creates or updates profiles by batching up to 1,000 events, with a 5mb payload limit. minimum required: a profile id and metric name. it has rate limits of 10 events per second burst and 150 events per minute. scope is `events:write`.
Create back in stock subscription
Use the server-side endpoint to subscribe to restock alerts, following the back in stock api guide. for client-side, use the post endpoint provided. rate limits: 350/s burst and 3500/m steady. required scopes: catalogs:write, profiles:write.
Create Campaign Recipient Estimation Job
Start an asynchronous task to estimate the number of recipients for a campaign. this action creates a background job that calculates how many profiles would receive the campaign based on its current audience settings. use the job id returned to track progress with the 'get campaign recipient estimation job' action, and get the final count via 'get campaign recipient estimation' action. rate limits: 10/s burst, 150/m steady. required scope: `campaigns:write`. preconditions: - valid api key with campaigns:write scope - campaign id must exist and be accessible - campaign must have audience settings configured
Create client back in stock subscription
Use the endpoint for client-side back in stock notifications with a public api key. for server-side, use post /api/back-in-stock-subscriptions. limits are 350 requests per second and 3500 per minute. requires 'catalogs:write' and 'profiles:write' scopes.
Create client event
Create client-side events to track profiles using a public api key, not for updating identifiers (server-side only). rate limits: 350/s, 3500/m. use `events:write` scope.
Create client subscription
Endpoint manages email/sms opt-ins using consent and requires public api key for client use. allows single-channel with details. rate limit: 100/s burst, 700/m steady, under 'subscriptions:write'.
Create event

Quick check — anything in the way?
Noticed Harbor Labs hasn't logged into DeskFerry since Feb 22. Usually that means one of three things: it's working so well you forgot, you got busy, or something's broken.
Personalized using LinkedIn activity from the last 30 days.
Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
