Klaviyo flows create personalized customer journeys by sending timely messages triggered by real-time behavior.
With low inventory flows, you can let customers know when products they’ve viewed are likely to sell out. This creates a sense of urgency for shoppers to buy quickly – and means more sales for you.
As your partner, we’re always innovating the Klaviyo platform to help you create more seamless experiences for all your customers. We’re excited to announce that low inventory flows are now available for stores using Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix, and custom catalogs.
How it works
Low inventory flows send messages to recipients when a product is low on stock. You can also let people know that individual sizes, colors, and more are running low.
To get started, navigate to Flows and Create from Scratch. In the trigger panel, select Low inventory. Check out our help center for more detailed information on creating low inventory flows.
To make sure you’re reaching shoppers most likely to buy, flows are only triggered for people who have engaged with a product in some way – by adding the item to their cart, viewing the item, or starting a checkout. And to ensure your customers aren’t hearing from you too much, you can add settings to skip anyone who has recently purchased.
With our new low inventory flows, Klaviyo helps you drive urgency for your shoppers when stock levels of their favorite products reach a low point. We’re looking forward to seeing how you use this new feature to create smarter relationships with your customers.
