Why Klaviyo + Chatarmin?

Activate email segments via WhatsApp. Build both lists in parallel.

Bidirectional Segment Sync

Klaviyo segments (VIP, cart abandoners, repeat buyers) as the basis for WhatsApp campaigns. WhatsApp data flows back to Klaviyo.

From Klaviyo to Chatarmin: segments, properties (lifetime value, purchase frequency, product preferences), list membership. From Chatarmin to Klaviyo: WhatsApp opt-in status, data collected from chatflows (zip code, preferences, interests), engagement data. Bidirectional, in real time.

Cross-Channel Retargeting

Email not opened? Chatarmin sends a WhatsApp automatically. 85% open rate instead of 20%.

Klaviyo webhook as trigger: when a defined condition is met (e.g., "email not opened after 3 days"), Klaviyo fires a webhook that starts a Chatarmin WhatsApp flow. Same message, different channel. 85% open rate on WhatsApp vs. ~20% on email.

Email + WhatsApp in Parallel

Collect email addresses in WhatsApp welcome flows. Generate WhatsApp opt-ins in Klaviyo newsletters. Both lists grow, no cannibalization.

Subscribers overlap only 30 to 40 percent. WhatsApp reaches a different audience than email. In the WhatsApp welcome flow, you collect email addresses and sync them directly to Klaviyo. In Klaviyo newsletters, you add a WhatsApp CTA. Result: both lists grow in parallel.

What Can the Klaviyo WhatsApp Integration Do?

Klaviyo is the email marketing tool most Chatarmin customers already use. 48% of all Chatarmin customers work with Klaviyo in parallel. The integration connects both systems bidirectionally: Klaviyo segments, properties and events are directly available in Chatarmin, and WhatsApp data flows back into the Klaviyo profile.

The result: you use Klaviyo's full segmentation power for your WhatsApp campaigns without manually exporting data or switching between tools.

Retarget Email Non-Openers via WhatsApp

The strongest use case of the Klaviyo-Chatarmin integration: 60 to 80% of your Klaviyo subscribers don't open your newsletter. These contacts aren't lost. They just don't read emails.

Chatarmin detects via Klaviyo webhooks when a contact hasn't opened an email after 48 hours. A WhatsApp follow-up is triggered automatically. The open rate on WhatsApp sits at 85%, so you reach a significant portion of the non-opener group. Real-world data: conversion of retargeted non-openers increases by 15 to 25% compared to no follow-up action.

This cross-channel retargeting works in reverse too: contacts who don't respond on WhatsApp can be reached via Klaviyo email. Both channels complement each other instead of cannibalizing.

Build WhatsApp and Email Lists in Parallel

A common misconception: WhatsApp and email compete with each other. The opposite is true. In the WhatsApp welcome flow, you collect email addresses and automatically sync them to Klaviyo. In Klaviyo newsletters, you place WhatsApp CTAs that generate new WhatsApp subscribers.

Both lists grow in parallel. Contacts coming in via WhatsApp automatically land in the right Klaviyo list. Contacts coming in via Klaviyo get the option to sign up for WhatsApp. No manual import, no CSV export. Everything syncs in real time.

Klaviyo WhatsApp: Native Feature vs. Chatarmin

Since September 2025, Klaviyo offers its own WhatsApp feature. Klaviyo users can send WhatsApp marketing messages, flows and utility messages directly from Klaviyo. The natural question: do I still need Chatarmin?

The honest answer: it depends on what you need. Klaviyo's WhatsApp feature covers basic campaigns and flows. Chatarmin is a dedicated WhatsApp marketing tool with deeper e-commerce integration. The key differences:

  • Pricing: Klaviyo charges a markup on Meta fees (same model as their SMS). Chatarmin passes Meta fees through 1:1. At 11 cents per message in Germany and thousands of messages per month, the difference adds up.
  • Shopify depth: Chatarmin has a native Shopify integration with revenue attribution per campaign, abandoned cart flows with A/B testing and bidirectional sync. Klaviyo's WhatsApp feature uses the existing Klaviyo-Shopify connection but offers less WhatsApp-specific e-commerce logic.
  • DACH support: Chatarmin offers personal, German-speaking support with a dedicated Customer Success Manager. Klaviyo's support is primarily English-speaking.

The best solution for most e-commerce brands: Klaviyo for email, Chatarmin for WhatsApp, and both synced. You use Klaviyo's segmentation for WhatsApp campaigns without sacrificing Chatarmin's e-commerce depth.

Use Klaviyo Segments for WhatsApp Campaigns

Klaviyo's strength is segmentation. Through the Chatarmin integration, all Klaviyo segments are directly available as audiences for WhatsApp campaigns:

  • VIP segment: High lifetime value customers receive exclusive WhatsApp offers
  • Cart abandoners: Klaviyo detects the abandonment, Chatarmin sends the WhatsApp message
  • Product category buyers: Customers who bought a specific category receive matching recommendations via WhatsApp
  • Non-openers: Those who didn't open the last email get a WhatsApp follow-up

All segments update in real time. A customer who just purchased automatically drops out of the cart abandoner segment and receives the post-purchase flow instead.

Who Benefits from the Klaviyo WhatsApp Integration?

The Klaviyo WhatsApp integration is relevant for all e-commerce brands that already use Klaviyo for email marketing and want to add WhatsApp as a second direct channel. Three typical profiles:

  • Brands with a large Klaviyo list but declining open rates: Email open rates are dropping industry-wide. WhatsApp at 85% open rate reactivates contacts who ignore emails.
  • Brands with advice-intensive products: Supplements, cosmetics, furniture. In the WhatsApp chat, AI-powered product advisors answer questions and link directly to Shopify products.
  • Brands that want to test WhatsApp without rebuilding their email stack: Klaviyo stays the central CRM. Chatarmin adds WhatsApp as a channel. No migration, no either-or.

What Does the Klaviyo WhatsApp Integration Cost?

11 cents per message sounds expensive. 11 cents is the official Meta fee for marketing messages in Germany, while in Austria and Switzerland it's roughly 5 cents (as of 2026). WhatsApp messages generate 2 to 3x higher revenue per recipient compared to email. If you generate 1 EUR revenue per recipient via email, WhatsApp will bring you roughly 2.50 EUR. After deducting the 11 cent Meta fee, you still have 139% higher net margin per contact than with email. That's why over 450 e-commerce brands successfully run WhatsApp marketing with Chatarmin.

Chatarmin passes Meta fees through 1:1, with no markup on the message fee. Service messages within the 24-hour window are free. The connection between Klaviyo and Chatarmin incurs no additional costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

No. Chatarmin does not replace Klaviyo. WhatsApp complements email as a second direct channel. Klaviyo stays your email tool, Chatarmin becomes your WhatsApp tool. Both systems sync contacts, segments and properties automatically and bidirectionally. The combination generates more revenue than either channel alone.

Klaviyo has offered its own WhatsApp feature since September 2025. For basic campaigns and simple flows, that may be sufficient. Chatarmin offers deeper e-commerce integration: native Shopify connection with revenue attribution, abandoned cart flows with A/B testing, AI product advisor in chat and Meta fees with no markup. Most e-commerce brands get the best results with Klaviyo for email and Chatarmin for WhatsApp.

Bidirectionally. From Klaviyo to Chatarmin: contact data, segment membership, properties, events and tags. From Chatarmin to Klaviyo: WhatsApp opt-in status, collected email addresses, tags from WhatsApp flows and interaction data. The sync runs in real time, no manual export needed.

The connection between Klaviyo and Chatarmin incurs no additional costs. Meta charges 11 cents per marketing message in Germany and roughly 5 cents in Austria and Switzerland (as of 2026). Service messages within 24 hours are free. Chatarmin passes Meta fees through 1:1, with no markup on the message fee.

No, the opposite is true. WhatsApp reaches a different audience: younger, more mobile contacts who open emails less frequently. Through bidirectional sync, both lists grow in parallel without overlap. The strongest proof: the cross-channel retargeting flow follows up on email non-openers via WhatsApp and increases conversion by 15 to 25%.

Yes. Chatarmin is ISO 27001 certified and hosts all data on servers in Frankfurt, Germany. The connection to Klaviyo runs through the official Klaviyo API. Chatarmin and Klaviyo (with EU hosting option) form a fully EU-based marketing stack. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available at any time.
