Is Klaviyo Down? How to Check Klaviyo Status Right Now
Klaviyo powers email and SMS marketing for hundreds of thousands of e-commerce brands. When it goes down, campaigns don't send, flows stop triggering, and revenue-driving automations go dark. Here's how to check Klaviyo's status, diagnose common issues, and stay ahead of outages.
⚡ Quick Klaviyo Status Check
How to Check if Klaviyo is Down
1. status.klaviyo.com (Official)
Klaviyo's official status page shows real-time status for Email Sending, SMS Delivery, API, Flows & Automations, and the Dashboard. Subscribe to email or webhook notifications to receive instant alerts when incidents are declared.
2. APIStatusCheck
APIStatusCheck aggregates status across hundreds of services including Klaviyo. Useful for checking Klaviyo alongside Shopify, your payment processor, or other e-commerce dependencies at once.
3. Twitter/X Search
Search "Klaviyo down" or "Klaviyo emails not sending" for real-time merchant reports. E-commerce store owners and marketers often report Klaviyo issues on social media before the official status page updates.
4. Klaviyo Activity Feed
Inside Klaviyo, check the Activity Feed for a specific profile or campaign to see delivery events, suppression reasons, and error codes. This helps distinguish between a platform outage and a configuration issue affecting specific contacts.
Monitor your email marketing pipeline independently
When Klaviyo goes down, revenue stops. Better Stack gives you independent uptime monitoring so you're alerted to issues before your campaign goes completely dark.

Why Klaviyo Emails Might Not Send (Even When Klaviyo is Up)
Before assuming Klaviyo is down, check these common configuration and deliverability issues:
Contact is suppressed
If a contact has unsubscribed, hard bounced, or been manually suppressed, Klaviyo will silently skip them. Check the profile's suppression status under their activity feed. Suppressions are permanent unless manually removed.
Flow filters blocking the send
Flows have trigger filters and flow filters that can exclude contacts. A common mistake is an "Is in list" filter that a contact doesn't meet. Review each flow step's filter conditions for the affected profile.
Sending domain not authenticated
Without DKIM/SPF records configured for your sending domain, major email providers (Gmail, Yahoo) increasingly reject or spam-folder Klaviyo emails. Check Klaviyo Settings → Email → Sending Domain for validation status.
Campaign scheduled for wrong timezone
Klaviyo's Smart Send Time feature and manual scheduling use account timezone settings. If your account timezone doesn't match your expectation, campaigns can appear "late" or not yet sent.
Shopify webhook delays
Klaviyo triggers flows based on events sent from Shopify (orders placed, checkouts started). If Shopify webhooks are delayed or failing, flow triggers won't fire even if Klaviyo itself is healthy.
API rate limits
Klaviyo's API has rate limits based on plan tier. If your integration is hitting limits during high-traffic periods (e.g., BFCM), profile syncs and event tracking will back up. Monitor API responses for 429 rate limit errors.
What to Do When Klaviyo is Down
Check status.klaviyo.com immediately
Confirm it's a Klaviyo platform outage vs a local configuration issue. If Klaviyo shows all systems operational, the problem is likely in your integration, segment logic, or contact suppression.
Pause time-sensitive campaigns
If a major send is queued during an outage, consider pausing it to avoid sending at an unexpected time after recovery. Klaviyo sometimes drains queued emails in a burst when service restores.
Use Shopify email as a temporary fallback
For critical transactional messages (order confirmations, shipping updates), Shopify has its own basic email system that works independently of Klaviyo. Activate it temporarily during extended Klaviyo outages.
Notify your team and set customer expectations
If an outage affects a launched campaign, alert your team so they don't escalate support tickets assuming the campaign failed. Plan messaging for customers if delivery delays become noticeable.
Subscribe to Klaviyo status alerts
Visit status.klaviyo.com and subscribe to email or webhook notifications so future incidents reach you immediately — not after a customer complains.

How do I check if Klaviyo is down right now?
Check status.klaviyo.com for the official status. Search "Klaviyo down" on Twitter/X for real-time merchant reports. APIStatusCheck aggregates Klaviyo and other service statuses in one place.
Why are my Klaviyo flows not triggering?
Most common causes: flow trigger filters not matching the profile, contact is suppressed, Shopify webhook events not arriving in Klaviyo, or the flow is in Draft status. Check the specific profile's activity feed to trace their journey through the flow.
How often does Klaviyo go down?
Klaviyo experiences minor incidents 1-3 times per month, usually email delivery delays or slow API responses. Full outages where all email sending stops are rare — about 3-5 times per year. SMS delivery may be affected more frequently due to carrier dependencies.
Will Klaviyo retry failed emails after an outage?
Klaviyo automatically retries soft bounces for a period of time. Campaigns that were queued during an outage will typically send after service is restored. However, if a campaign had a narrow sending window, you may need to manually resend to contacts who didn't receive it.
What are the best Klaviyo alternatives if I need a backup?
Mailchimp, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), ActiveCampaign, and Omnisend are popular Klaviyo alternatives for e-commerce email marketing. For a backup during outages specifically, Shopify Email handles basic transactional messages without a third-party platform.
