# Klaviyo
Update Klaviyo contacts with their unique share link and referrer information.
## Sync with your Klaviyo List
**Step 1:** In *Program Editor > 4. Options > Integrations*, open the Klaviyo integration card and enter your Klaviyo API secret ([click here to get your Klaviyo private API key](https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005062267-How-to-Manage-Your-Account-s-API-Keys#find-your-api-keys1)).
{% hint style="info" %}
Connect Klaviyo before importing participants. If participants are already in your program, follow [these ESP sync options](https://support.growsurf.com/article/385-how-can-i-sync-my-growsurf-participants-to-my-esp) to send their GrowSurf data to Klaviyo.
{% endhint %}
**Step 2:** Once connected, choose the Klaviyo list that you want to automatically sync to. GrowSurf will add/update your Klaviyo contacts every time a new participant is added or referred to your referral or affiliate program.
**Step 3:** Save changes. You should now see a screen that looks like the one below:

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.growsurf.com/integrations/klaviyo.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
