### Creating a Klaviyo Flow

To create a Klaviyo Flow you need to follow these steps:

1. In Klaviyo navigate to Flows and create a new flow
2. Select a trigger
3. Add an action
4. Enable the flow
5. *(Optional)* Apply for transactional status

#### 1. Navigate to Klaviyo to create a new flow

Open the Klaviyo dashboard, then go to **Flows → Create Flow → Build Your Own**. You should then see a new screen where you can select the trigger.

#### 2. Select trigger

From the tabbed menu on the right, select **Your Metrics → API**.\
Now find the Gift Card Factory metrics for which you want to send emails.\
For the purpose of this guide, we will use **GCP Gift Card Email**. This metric is registered against a contact in Klaviyo whenever someone purchases a gift card for someone else.

#### 3. Add action

From left hand side navigation select Email action.<br>

Now you can configure all your email properties, such as:

* Subject
* Preview text
* Template

When editing the template, you can use any variables that were sent alongside the metric.

#### 4. Enable flow

Now you can enable your newly created flow. Click the **button** in the top-right section. Whenever Gift Card Factory sends the metric, the email will be sent to the contact who received the metric.

#### 5. (Optional) Apply for transactional status

By default, Klaviyo considers all emails sent through flows as marketing emails. To send transactional emails, you need to apply for a review. To apply for transactional status, select your Email action and, on the right panel, select the **Apply for transactional status** checkbox.<br>
