Can you use dynamic coupon codes in flows?
Klaviyo does not support fetching coupon codes in flows when you are dealing with webhooks.
How do branded links work?
Once a pURL is configured on your Tall Bob account, you can shorten and track links in your SMS and MMS campaigns.
Campaigns: Set up a third party URL redirect landing page in Tall Bob prior to sending (see here).
Flows: Shorten URLs by including the shorten_urls parameter set to “true”. The URL must contain a http:// or https:// for it to be detected and shortened.
How can I access a list of contacts who clicked the link?
Within Klaviyo: Build a segment with the condition “What someone has done (or not done) > Person has tb_impression” and customise the date range as needed.
Within Tall Bob: Open Campaign Analytics and click the campaign name. Under the Contact List tab, you can export and filter by 'Landing Page Impressions' to see who clicked the link and how often. Or, use the Landing Page filter to show only contacts who opened the page.
How do you track sales generated from SMS?
SMS attribution can be tracked via a custom dashboard in Klaviyo. Follow our guide here to build this, or contact your account manager if you have granted temporary access to your Klaviyo account to Tall Bob.
How do opt-outs work?
When a contact opts out of SMS via a Tall Bob campaign (by clicking the unsubscribe link), the opt-out is recorded in Tall Bob. Tall Bob passes this opt-out information back to Klaviyo using a custom profile property called tb_unsubscribe.
If Klaviyo Unsubscribe Contacts is enabled on your Tall Bob account, we’ll also update the Klaviyo profile’s built-in SMS opt-in status to reflect the unsubscribe. To support this you must have a sender ID registered in Klaviyo).
Customers can create a segment in Klaviyo using the tb_unsubscribe property and also use the property to exclude opt-outs when building future lists/segments. View detailed instructions in our support document here
What if you have multiple profiles with the same mobile number?
If a contact opts out of SMS, the opt-out status will apply to all profiles in Klaviyo that share that mobile number and they won’t receive any future SMS from Tall Bob. A couple of things to keep in mind:
The unsubscribe event (e.g. "SMS Unsubscribed") will only log against the specific profile that the original message was sent to.
Tall Bob stores all opt-outs in our platform. Before any SMS campaign is sent, we check this opt-out list - so even if a different Klaviyo profile with the same mobile number is included in a future send, that contact will be automatically excluded.
What happens when a customer resubscribes - do they automatically receive messages again, or is any action needed?
If there’s a change to customer opt-in status, you'll want to ensure this information flows back to Tall Bob. To do this, we recommend setting up an automated resubscribe flow in Klaviyo. This flow will capture when a customer opts back in to receive SMS and update their record in Tall Bob - ensuring they’re eligible to receive future SMS campaigns sent via Tall Bob.

How do you include a link in your flow SMS or MMS and have it shortened?
Paste your full URL including the http:// or https:// prefix into the JSON body. Shorten URLs by including the shorten_urls parameter set to “true”.
{
"to": "{{ person.phone_number|default:'' }}",
"from": "Tall Bob",
"message": "Hi {{ person.first_name|default:'' }}, here's a treat for joining Tall Bob! Use code BOB for 25% off at checkout.\n\nShop: https://tallbob.com/ \n\nOpt-out? {OptOutURL}",
"shorten_urls": true
}How do you include a campaign reference in your flow SMS or MMS?
You can use the 'campaign_reference' parameter to help make your reporting more detailed.
{
"to": "{{ person.phone_number|default:'' }}",
"from": "Tall Bob",
"message": "Hi {{ person.first_name|default:'' }}, here's a treat for joining Tall Bob! Use code BOB for 25% off at checkout.\n\nShop: https://tallbob.com/ \n\nOpt-out? {OptOutURL}",
"campaign_reference": "name of campaign flow"
}How do I handle opt-outs if I don’t setup Klaviyo SMS to collect SMS subscribers?
You can only collect SMS consent in locations where Klaviyo SMS is available and you must also have a sending number registered for the location where you're collecting consent. So if you don't have a specific region set up via Klaviyo Settings > SMS, you can't modify the Klaviyo SMS opt-in status for profiles in that region.
Customers typically handle this by using a list-based approach in Klaviyo as their “source of truth” for SMS consent. Contact your account manager to discuss the best approach.
