Integrate Klaviyo Data into Power Automate Desktop using CData Connect

CData Connect enables you to access live Klaviyo data in workflow automation tools like Power Automate. This article shows how to integrate Klaviyo data into a simple workflow, saving Klaviyo data into a CSV file.

CData Connect provides a live interface for Klaviyo, allowing you to integrate with live Klaviyo data in Power Automate — without replicating the data. Connect uses optimized data processing out of the box to push all supported SQL operations (filters, JOINs, etc) directly to Klaviyo, leveraging server-side processing to quickly return Klaviyo data.

Configure Klaviyo Connectivity for Power Automate

Connectivity to Klaviyo from Power Automate is made possible through CData Connect AI. To work with Klaviyo data from Power Automate, we start by creating and configuring a Klaviyo connection.

1. Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection

2. Select "Klaviyo" from the Add Connection panel

3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Klaviyo.

   To authenticate to Klaviyo, provide an API Key. You can generate or view your API keys under 'My Account'

   1. Navigate to 'Settings' > 'API Keys'
   2. Click 'Create API Key'.
   3. Name your API key and choose the desired scopes.

   To connect in your CData solutions, set API Key to your Klaviyo API key.

   If you wish to use OAuth authentication, refer to the Help documenation.

4. Click Save & Test
5. Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add Klaviyo Connection page and update the User-based permissions.

Add a Personal Access Token

When connecting to Connect AI through the REST API, the OData API, or the Virtual SQL Server, a Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect AI. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each service to maintain granularity of access.

1. Click on the Gear icon () at the top right of the Connect AI app to open the settings page.
2. On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
3. Give the PAT a name and click Create.
4. The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.

With the connection configured and a PAT generated, you are ready to connect to Klaviyo data from Power Automate Desktop.

Integrate Klaviyo Data into Power Automate Workflows

After configuring CData Connect with Klaviyo, you are ready to integrate Klaviyo data into your Power Automate workflows. Open Microsoft Power Automate, add a new flow, and name the flow.

In the flow editor, you can add the options to connect to Klaviyo, query Klaviyo using SQL, and write the query results to a CSV document.

Add an Open SQL Connection Action

Add an "Open SQL connection" action (Action -> Database) and click the option to build the Connection string. In the Data Link Properties wizard:

1. On the Provider tab: select Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server
2. On the Connection tab:
   1. Select or enter a server name: set to tds.cdata.com,14333
   2. Enter information to lag onto the server: select "Use a specific username and password"
      • Set User name to your CData Connect AI user name (e.g. [email protected])
      • Set Password to your PAT
      • Select the database: use the database configured above (e.g. Klaviyo1)
3. Click "Test Connection" to ensure the connection is configured properly
4. Click "OK"

After building the connection string in the Data Link Properties wizard, save the action.

Add an Execute SQL Statement Action

Add an "Execute SQL statement" action (Action -> Database) and configure the properties.

• Get connection by: SQL connection variable
• SQL connection: %SQLConnection% (the variable from the "Open SQL connection" action above)
• SQL statement: SELECT * FROM Campaigns

After configuring the properties, save the action.

Add a Write to CSV File Action

Add a "Write to CSV file" action (Action -> File) and configure the properties.

• Variable to write to: %QueryResult% (the variable from the "Execute SQL statement" action above)
• File path: set to a file on disk
• Configure Advanced settings as needed.

After configuring the properties, save the action.

Add a Close SQL Connection Action

Add a "Close SQL connection" action (Action -> Database) and configure the properties.

• SQL Connection: %SQLConnection% (the variable from the "Open SQL connection" action above)

After configuring the properties, save the action.

Save & Run the Flow

Once you have configured all the options for the flow, click the disk icon to save the flow. Click the play icon to run the flow.

Now you have a workflow to save Klaviyo data into a CSV file.

With CData Connect AI, you get live connectivity to Klaviyo data within your Microsoft Power Automate workflows.

SQL Access to Klaviyo Data from Cloud Applications

Now you have a direct connection to live Klaviyo data from Power Automate tasks. You can create more connections and workflows to drive business — all without replicating Klaviyo data.
