Klaviyo - Creating your Flow and Email Template - Gift Card Reminder

After a gift card is delivered, if it hasn't been used for a period of 7 days, Govalo will send Klaviyo an event named Gift card unused, which you can use as a trigger to send the recipient a reminder of their gift card.

The variables included in this event are the same variables you can find on the gift card event, therefore you can use a similar email template.

1 - In Klaviyo, go to Flows and click Create Flow, then pick the option Create From Scratch.

2 - Give your flow a name (e.g. "Gift Card Reminder"), then click Create Flow.

3 - Let's start by setting up your Trigger. Among the options offered, select Metric, then in the drop-down selector presented, select Gift card unused. Next, click Done:

4 - Next you'll set up an Action, through which an email will be sent. Drag the component Email and drop it under the trigger:

5 - Click the three dots, then Edit to get to the editor where you'll add the custom template:

6 - Fill out the fields accordingly, then select an option to create your template. We will go with the HTML option, so we can show you how you can use the variables included in the event sent by Govalo to build your template. You can proceed with this option and add your own custom HTML and styles around our example later on. Alternatively, you may use the Drag and Drop option to build a new template or select an existing one and plug our variables into it:

7 - Erase the sample code pre-filled by Klaviyo, then paste the sample template you see below:

<p>This is a reminder to inform you that you have received a Govalo gift card!</p>
<p>Hi {{ event.recipient }}! {% if event.sent_to_self %}Here's your gift card.{% else %}{{ event.customer }} thinks you deserve to treat yourself.{% endif %}</p>
{% if event.sent_to_self %} 
{% else %} 
	{% if event.gift_note != "" %}
		<p>They also wanted us to tell you this:</p>
		<p>{{ event.gift_note }}</p>
	{% else %} 
	{% endif %} 
{% endif %}
<p><a href="https://redeem.govalo.com/card/{{ event.hash }}" target="_blank">Redeem your gift card</a></p>
<p>Value: {{ event.card_value}} </p>
<p>Gift card image:</p>
<p><img alt="Gift card image" style="height: 300px; width: auto;" src="{{ event.gift_card_image }}" /></p>
{% if event.qrCode %}
<p><img alt="QR Code" src="{{ event.qrCode }}" /></p>
{% endif %}

Make sure to click Save once you're done editing the template.

8 - Back to the flow's editing page, change your email from Draft to Live:

9 - Now that your Gift Card Reminder flow is set up, a reminder will be sent out automatically if a gift card has been issued and not used within 7 days.
