Query Klaviyo Data in MySQL Workbench

MySQL Workbench allows users to administer MySQL environments and gain better visibility into databases. When paired with CData Connect (on-premise or Connect Server), you get live access to Klaviyo data as if it were a MySQL database. This article shows how to create a virtual database for Klaviyo in Connect and work with live Klaviyo data in MySQL Workbench.

Create a Virtual MySQL Database for Klaviyo Data

CData Connect uses a straightforward, point-and-click interface to connect to data sources and generate APIs.

1. Login to Connect and click Connections.
2. Select "Klaviyo" from Available Data Sources.
3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Klaviyo.

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Klaviyo Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Klaviyo.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Klaviyo (see below).

   Klaviyo API Profile Settings

   To authenticate to Klaviyo, you will needto provide an API Key. You can generate or view your API keys under 'My Account' > 'Setting' > 'API Key' > 'Create API Key'. Set the API Key to your Klaviyo Key in the ProfileSettings connection property.

4. Click Save Changes
5. Click Privileges -> Add and add the new user (or an existing user) with the appropriate permissions.

With the virtual database created, you are ready to connect to Klaviyo from MySQL Workbench.
