Overview

Lantern works with your existing email providers to give you full control over the emails you send to your customers. You can use our Klaviyo integration or use Shopify Flow to set up the triggers and connectors to enable advocates to share their referrals via email.

​
Using Klaviyo

Set up your Klaviyo integration with Lantern before following these steps.

1
Create a new flow in Klaviyo using Lantern Referral Invite as the metric for the trigger
2
Add an email action and configure and design it how you like.

Use these event properties in your email template:
  • {{ event.referralLink }} for the Advocate’s personal unique link to activate the referral
  • {{ event.message }} for the message the Advocate provided when sending the invite. If the advocate didn’t set a message, this will be your default message.

​
Using Shopify Flow

Use these event properties from the flow trigger:
  • {{ referralLink }} for the Advocate’s personal unique link to activate the referral
  • {{ friendEmail }} the email address to send the invite to
  • {{ message }} for the message the Advocate provided when sending the invite. If the advocate didn’t set a message, this will be your default message.
