How to Query Klaviyo Data in MySQL Workbench

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for Klaviyo to query Klaviyo data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live Klaviyo data in MySQL Workbench.

Connect to Klaviyo Data

If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to configure the DSN. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.

To authenticate to Klaviyo, provide an API Key. You can generate or view your API keys under 'My Account'

1. Navigate to 'Settings' > 'API Keys'
2. Click 'Create API Key'.
3. Name your API key and choose the desired scopes.

To connect in your CData solutions, set API Key to your Klaviyo API key.

If you wish to use OAuth authentication, refer to the Help documenation.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Klaviyo data as a virtual MySQL database. You will configure a MySQL remoting service that listens for MySQL requests from clients. The service can be configured in the SQL Gateway UI.
