Connect to Klaviyo Data from PowerBuilder via ODBC

The CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to Klaviyo data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.

Connect to Klaviyo as an ODBC Data Source

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

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.

Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for Klaviyo

Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for Klaviyo. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with Klaviyo data.

1. In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
2. In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
3. On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the Klaviyo DSN in the Data Source menu. 👁 The ODBC DSN, required to create the Database Profile. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
4. To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.

Using Klaviyo Data with PowerBuilder Controls

You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve Klaviyo data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:

SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData Klaviyo Source'"
CONNECT USING SQLCA;
dw_campaigns.SetTransObject(SQLCA);
dw_campaigns.Retrieve();
