Connecting your Klaviyo marketing platform to your Salesforce CRM can supercharge your ability to manage customer data and streamline operations. By integrating these two powerful tools, you can sync marketing and sales data, gain deeper customer insights, and automate key processes.
In this guide, we’ll dive into the benefits of connecting Klaviyo to Salesforce and walk through three methods to make it happen—using Coefficient, Zapier, and Integromat. Whether you’re a marketer, sales rep, or operations manager, you’ll learn how to set up this game-changing integration in no time.
Advantages of Connecting Klaviyo to Salesforce
Integrating Klaviyo and Salesforce unlocks a host of benefits that can transform your marketing, sales, and operations:
- Predictive Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Modeling: By merging Klaviyo’s email engagement metrics with Salesforce’s purchase history data, you can build a sophisticated CLV prediction model. This allows you to identify high-value customers early in their lifecycle, enabling proactive nurturing and personalized retention strategies to maximize long-term revenue.
- Automated Churn Prevention Workflows: Leverage the integration to create an early warning system for at-risk customers. For example, when Klaviyo detects a drop in email engagement combined with Salesforce data showing a decline in purchase frequency, it can trigger a personalized re-engagement campaign or alert the account manager for timely intervention.
- Advanced Segmentation for Hyper-Personalization: Combine Klaviyo’s behavioral data (email opens, clicks, product views) with Salesforce’s customer profile information to create highly targeted segments. This enables you to craft ultra-personalized email campaigns and sales approaches, tailoring product recommendations, content, and offers to each customer’s specific interests and purchase history, significantly improving conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
Connecting Klaviyo and Salesforce: 3 Methods
Now that you know the “why”, let’s get into the “how”. Here are three ways to connect Klaviyo to Salesforce, with options for every team size, technical skill level, and use case:
Connecting Klaviyo and Salesforce: 3 Methods
Solution | Best For |
Coefficient | Marketing analysts in SMBs who frequently work with spreadsheets and need to combine Klaviyo data with other metrics before pushing to Salesforce. Ideal for teams that require flexible data manipulation without coding skills. May not be suitable for real-time integrations or handling very large data volumes needed by enterprise-level companies. |
Zapier | Growing e-commerce businesses with diverse software ecosystems beyond just Klaviyo and Salesforce. Best for marketing operations teams that need to create multi-step workflows involving additional apps (e.g., updating inventory systems or triggering SMS notifications based on specific Klaviyo-Salesforce data combinations). While user-friendly, it may become costly for high-volume, complex integrations. |
Integromat | Tech-savvy marketing teams or organizations with complex data integration requirements. Optimal for businesses that need advanced data transformations, error handling, and conditional logic in their Klaviyo-Salesforce integration. While more powerful than Zapier, it has a steeper learning curve and may require some technical expertise to fully utilize. |

Choose Salesforce from the list of available data sources.
Select the tab and header rows in your spreadsheet that contain the data you want to export.

Next, select the Salesforce Object you want to export data to, e.g., “Opportunity”, “Contacts”, etc.
Then, select the type of action you want to perform—Update, Insert, Upsert, or Delete.

Note: If you imported data from Salesforce into your spreadsheet previously, Coefficient will auto-detect and map these fields.
(Optional) Specify additional settings such as batch size, whether to export empty cells on an update, and the column for results.
Stop exporting data manually. Sync data from your business systems into Google Sheets or Excel with Coefficient and set it on a refresh schedule.
Get StartedNote: Batch size is capped at 10,000 rows due to Salesforce API limitations.
Confirm your settings and click “Export”.
Then, highlight the rows you want to update or export. You can choose to export all rows or specific rows.
After you’re finished, review your settings and click “Export.”
Follow the prompts to confirm your changes.
