This guide will help you set up a targeted and effective Welcome Flow in Klaviyo using your Opensend Connect audience.
🔁 Using the Opensend List as a Trigger
You can use the Opensend list (e.g., the one created during your setup) as the trigger for your Welcome Flow in Klaviyo.
If you'd prefer to use a segment instead of the Opensend list as the trigger for your flow.
Please create a new segment with the following condition under “Properties about someone”:
- tag equals Opensend (Type: Text)
⚠️ However, using the Opensend list directly as a trigger is still the recommended approach for best performance and easier management.
🛠 Tip: You can clone your existing welcome email series flow and then make the edits suggested below for a clean and optimized setup.
⚙️ Flow Trigger Conditions
To ensure clean targeting and avoid overlap with other lists or campaigns, apply the following conditions under trigger:
🔸 Exclude Purchasers
- Condition:
What someone has done (or not done) > Placed Order > zero times > over all time
🔸 Avoid Newsletter Duplicates
- Condition:
If someone is not in the list > [Your Newsletter or Master List]
✅ These conditions ensure:
- You’re targeting only new, non-purchasing contacts.
- You avoid sending duplicate welcome emails to users who may have subscribed separately to your newsletter.

📝 Copywriting Tip
Because Opensend users did not subscribe through a traditional form, it’s best to use neutral and friendly language. Here are some examples:
✅ Use:
- “Thanks for stopping by.”
- “Welcome to [Brand Name].”
- “Thanks for visiting our site.”
❌ Avoid:
- “Thanks for subscribing.”
- “You’re on the list!”
