Converge functionality

This integration supports the following Converge destination functionality.

​

Using Converge to increase abandoned cart revenue on Klaviyo

You may already be using Klaviyo’s abandoned cart flows based on the Added To Cart events and Started Checkout events tracked by the Klaviyo pixel on the browser.

However, Klaviyo’s browser identification is based on a third-party cookie meaning that most customers will not be successfully identified after 7 days (see our section on Cookie Behavior

When Converge is set up with a first-party cookie, it can reliably re-identify customers past that 7-day mark (see: Setting up a server-side first-party cookie). Customers using our pre-built Shopify or Magento integrations already have a first-party cookie as part of their Converge setup.

For most customers, we expect an abandoned cart revenue uplift of 20-50%.

​

Adding product URL and image URL to Converge events to power Klaviyo flows

A common use case of the Klaviyo Destination is to build Klaviyo Email Flows based on Converge Events. As such, you might want to include a Product URL or Product Image URL in the Converge Event so you can leverage these in your email flows.

To that end, you will want to extend the Converge Event Spec for the following events. Once you add the custom properties to your events, Converge will automatically forward these to the Klaviyo Destination.

Event Mapping

Converge automatically maps the following events from the Converge Event Spec to the Klaviyo spec.

This integration also auto-tracks some additional events that are not part of the Klaviyo Base Spec but are so heavily requested that we automatically forward them.
