Options to connect Klaviyo to Looker Studio
Looker Studio does not support a native Klaviyo connector. However, you can set up a Klaviyo to Looker Studio connection using the partner connector by Coupler.io. It is a reporting automation solution that turns raw data into simple reports. Coupler.io provides a Looker Studio connector to import data from 60+ different sources, including Klaviyo. There are two possible methods to connect Klaviyo to Looker Studio using Coupler.io:

The Klaviyo API can also be used to get the required data into Looker Studio. API or Application Programming Interface is the common protocol that applications use to exchange information. You can use a programmatic method to get data from Klaviyo to Google Sheets using Apps Script. This method demands coding proficiency.
To set up a Klaviyo to Looker Studio connection with any of these methods, you’ll need to provide the private API key. It acts as a token of authorization, just like a password. So, first, let’s learn to get the Klaviyo API key.
How to get Klaviyo API key?

You can also find it in the Settings > API Keys section of your Klaviyo account.
Once you have the private API key, you can use it to make various requests and get desired data.

Looker Studio offers native integration with Google Sheets, which can be used as a mediator between Klaviyo and Looker Studio. Using this method, you can also access the raw data manually in Google Sheets. This can serve as a data backup and can also be used for other calculations.
Coupler.io will help you connect Klaviyo to Google Sheets. To load data from Google Sheets to Looker Studio, you can use either Coupler.io as well or the native Looker Studio connector. We’ll use the latter just to demonstrate how it works.
We’ve already described the flow to connect Klaviyo to Google Sheets in our blog post. It looks pretty much the same as when connecting Klaviyo to Looker Studio. Click Proceed in the form below to try it out.
You’ll need to select a spreadsheet and a sheet where to load data from Klaviyo. Coupler.io will also auto-update the Google Sheet every day as per the schedule so that you can always stay on top of the latest data. Now, you can easily use this Google Sheet to visualize Klaviyo data in Looker Studio.
Let’s see how to do it.
Connect Google Sheets to Looker Studio
Open the Looker Studio Report where you want to visualize the Klaviyo data and follow these steps:
- Add a new Google Sheets data source.
- Select the Google Sheet & Worksheet that you used to import Klaviyo data, tick the appropriate options, and click Add.
- Finally, click Add to Report to get the Klaviyo data into Looker Studio.
This will import Google Sheets data into Looker Studio, which you can visualize as you want!
Tada!! ? You’ve successfully connected Klaviyo to Looker Studio via Google Sheets.
Set up Klaviyo Looker Studio data sync using Coupler.io
The Looker Studio auto-refreshes the data from Google Sheets every 15 minutes by default. You can change this by using the following steps:
- In the Looker Studio report, go to Resource > Manage added data sources.
- In the list of connected sources, click Edit against the Google Sheets that we used to connect Klaviyo to Looker Studio.
- Now, in the top-right corner of the section, the data refresh interval of the connection will appear. Click on it.
- Choose the preferred data refresh interval, and click Set Data Freshness.
Now, Looker Studio will update the data from Google Sheets every hour.
Tada!! ? You’ve successfully automated the Klaviyo to Looker Studio connection using Coupler.io. Now, just sit back, relax, and let the importer pull the data regularly for you!
Connect Klaviyo to Looker Studio programmatically using Apps Script
Google Apps Script can be used to call the Klaviyo API and pull the required data into Google Sheets. Later on, the Google Sheets can be used as a data source in Looker Studio.
This method demands really high coding skills and knowledge of REST API. Therefore, it is the least preferred method to import Klaviyo data into Looker Studio.
Let’s say you want to get Klaviyo subscribers’ list data for the last seven days. Here’s how you can do this:
- Open the Google Sheets where you want to import the Klaviyo data and go to Extensions > Apps Script.
- Now, in the script editor, paste the following code:
function fetchFromAPI() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var url = 'https://a.klaviyo.com/api/v1/metric/{Metric_ID}/timeline?data_type=c×pan=LAST_7_DAYS&api_key={Your_Klaviyo_API_KEY}';
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var json = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(json);
sheet.clear(); // clear sheet before each run
var rows = data.data.map(function(item) {
var person = item.person;
var firstName = person.$first_name;
var lastName = person.$last_name;
var email = person.$email;
var consentTimestamp = person.$consent_timestamp;
return [firstName, lastName, email, consentTimestamp];
}).filter(function(row) {
return row !== null; // Filter out null rows
});
sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1, rows.length, rows[0].length).setValues(rows);
}
- Save the script and click Run to execute it.
- Upon successful execution of the script, the required columns will be imported to the sheet.
Now, you can connect this Google Sheets as a data source to visualize Klaviyo data in Looker Studio.
Auto-import Klaviyo data into Looker Studio at regular intervals
Google Apps Script supports time-based triggers that we can use to import data from Klaviyo to Google Sheets at regular intervals. Just follow these steps to do that:
- In the Apps Script window, go to Triggers from the left menu and Create a new trigger.
- Now, select Time-driven as the event source, select the preferred interval, and click Save.
At this point, the Apps Script will run the function at regular intervals and keep updating the data in the Google Sheet. Connect the Google Sheets with Looker Studio, and configure the data refresh interval in Looker Studio as well to sync the data.

In this article, we’ve discussed three possible ways to connect Klaviyo to Looker Studio and automate the data flow.
