Using Litmus with Klaviyo

Litmus integrates with Klaviyo's new editor to let you test emails—including those with personalized, dynamic content—without manually copying and pasting code between tools, saving time and streamlining your email workflow. 

This guide will help you start using the Litmus Extension within Klaviyo.

Test as you build in Klaviyo with Litmus Extension

The Litmus Extension in the Google Chrome browser can be used to test emails as you build within Klaviyo, eliminating the need to switch between tools. First, install the Litmus Extension. You can then use the Litmus extension in Klaviyo when editing or previewing emails in the Campaigns or Flows area of Klaviyo.

✏️ Note: Important: You must switch to the new template editor in Klaviyo, the classic editor is not supported.
