FAQ
Questions about Order Placed.
How does the Order Placed trigger work in Klaviyo?
Fires when an Order Placed event is tracked in Klaviyo (typically from your Shopify/Woo/Magento integration). Use to drive cross-sell flows, fulfillment notifications, or revenue dashboards.
Is the Order Placed trigger real-time?
Yes. Order Placed uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Klaviyo.
What data does Order Placed return?
The full event payload from Klaviyo. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Order Placed so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Klaviyo admin permissions to use Order Placed?
For most Klaviyo accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Klaviyo plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Klaviyo's docs if the trigger fails to register.
