  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads klaviyo-webhooks automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Klaviyo Webhooks

When to Use This Skill

  • How do I receive Klaviyo webhooks?
  • How do I verify Klaviyo webhook signatures (the Klaviyo-Signature header)?
  • How do I handle Klaviyo system webhook events like event:klaviyo.opened_email?
  • Why is my Klaviyo webhook signature verification failing?
  • How do I secure a Klaviyo flow "Webhook" action that isn't signed?

Verification (core)

Klaviyo signs each system webhook with an HMAC-SHA256 over the raw request body concatenated with the Klaviyo-Timestamp header value, hex-encoded, using your endpoint secret (min 16 chars). The signature arrives in the Klaviyo-Signature header. Compute the same HMAC and compare timing-safe. There is no official SDK verification helper, so verify manually. Pass the raw body — don't JSON.parse first.

Node:

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyKlaviyoWebhook(rawBody, timestamp, signature, secret) {
  const computed = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(rawBody)        // Buffer/string of the raw HTTP body
    .update(timestamp)      // Klaviyo-Timestamp header value, appended
    .digest('hex');
  try {
    return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(computed), Buffer.from(signature));
  } catch {
    return false;           // length mismatch = invalid
  }
}

Python:

import hmac, hashlib

def verify_klaviyo_webhook(raw_body: bytes, timestamp: str, signature: str, secret: str) -> bool:
    mac = hmac.new(secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256)
    mac.update(timestamp.encode())          # append Klaviyo-Timestamp
    return hmac.compare_digest(mac.hexdigest(), signature)

For complete handlers with route wiring, event dispatch, and tests, see:

  • examples/express/
  • examples/nextjs/
  • examples/fastapi/

Unsigned flow "Webhook" action

Signature verification above applies to system webhooks (created via the Webhooks API). Klaviyo's older flow "Webhook" action sends a custom JSON payload you define and is not signed. If signing is unavailable on your account, put a hard-to-guess secret token in the endpoint URL (e.g. /webhooks/klaviyo?token=…) and reject requests that don't match. See references/verification.md.

Common Event Types (topics)

Each payload delivers a data array of events; every event carries a topic.

TopicTriggered When
event:klaviyo.opened_emailRecipient opened an email
event:klaviyo.clicked_emailRecipient clicked a link in an email
event:klaviyo.bounced_emailAn email bounced
event:klaviyo.marked_email_as_spamRecipient marked an email as spam
event:klaviyo.unsubscribed_from_email_marketingProfile unsubscribed from email
event:klaviyo.received_smsAn inbound SMS was received
event:klaviyo.sent_smsAn SMS was sent
event:klaviyo.submitted_reviewA review was submitted

For the full topic list, see references/overview.md or call the Get Webhook Topics endpoint.

Recommended: webhook-handler-patterns

We recommend installing the webhook-handler-patterns skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):

  • Handler sequence — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
  • Idempotency — Prevent duplicate processing (use each event's external_id)
  • Error handling — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
  • Retry logic — Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns
