Are your marketing and customer support teams working in silos? Are your customers receiving promotional emails while they have an ongoing issue with customer service? Does this situation sound familiar? The Crisp-Klaviyo integration solves exactly these problems by creating a smart bridge between your customer service and your marketing campaigns.
This connection transforms your relationship approach by unifying all customer interactions – from the first marketing contact to problem resolution – into a coherent and automated ecosystem.
Why does this integration change the game?
The problem of siloed data
How many times have your customers received a promotional offer when they had just contacted support? Or worse, how many qualified leads are lost between your support conversations and your nurturing campaigns?
With Crisp connected to Klaviyo, these inconsistencies are a thing of the past. You finally create a 360° view of each customer.

The 6 superpowers of this integration

2. Automatic contact synchronization
Every new Crisp contact is automatically added to Klaviyo with all their information: name, email, phone, but also behavioral data and preferences. No more tedious manual exports.
What automatically synchronizes:
- – Personal information (name, surname, contact)
- – Address and geographical location
- – Job title and company
- – Custom conversation data
- – Support interaction history
3. Support events integrated into Klaviyo profiles
Here's where it gets really powerful. Every action in Crisp generates an event in the corresponding Klaviyo profile:

4. Klaviyo widget integrated into Crisp
Your support agents instantly see the customer's complete Klaviyo profile: their latest purchases, segments, available coupons, email engagement. This allows for personalized interactions and tailored solutions.
Information visible at a glance:
- – Membership lists and segments
- – Coupon and promotion history
- – Latest marketing interactions
- – Engagement score and CLV
- – Ability to add/remove from lists
5. Management of Klaviyo SMS from Crisp
When a customer responds to your Klaviyo SMS, the conversation naturally continues in Crisp. Your agents can respond directly, and the entire history remains unified. No more lost conversations between platforms.
6. Prevention of inappropriate contacts
The holy grail: automatically exclude customers with ongoing issues from your promotional campaigns. Never again send a "Enjoy -20%" to someone waiting for a refund!
