How to Use the Custom Metric Tracker in Hiro

Our new Custom Metric Tracker (currently in beta) helps you measure how email and SMS contribute to important business events.

Updated over 4 months ago

Where can I find the Custom Metric Tracker?

You’ll find it under:

BetaCustom Metrics

If you don’t see it, contact us in Slack to get access.


What is this tool for?

This feature lets you:

  • Track any metric in Klaviyo (e.g., subscription started, lead submitted, etc.)

  • See how many of those events were attributed to Klaviyo

  • Understand the campaign vs. flow breakdown

  • (Optional) View the monetary value of attributed events


How do I set up a custom metric?

  1. Go to the Custom Metric Tracker

  2. Click to set up metrics

  3. Search and select your desired metric (e.g., subscription started on Recharge)

  4. Save it

🕐 Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your metrics to appear in the dashboard.


Will my data be backfilled?

Yes. Once your metric is saved, Hiro will backfill all historic data for that event from the first time it occurred.


What happens after setup?

Once your metric is live:

  1. Select the metric from the dropdown

  2. Use the “conversion value” toggle if the event has a monetary value (e.g., subscription revenue)

  3. Choose the value key associated with that event (e.g., dollar_amount or similar)


What if my metric has no monetary value?

You’ll still get:

  • Total count of event occurrences

  • Count of those events attributed to Klaviyo

  • Campaign vs. flow breakdown of attributed events

This is perfect for tracking non-purchase metrics like:

  • Lead form submissions

  • Quiz completions

  • Free trial signups


What if my metric does have a monetary value?

If the event includes a conversion value (e.g., subscription_started), you’ll get:

  • Total value of those events

  • Value attributed to Klaviyo

  • Campaign vs. flow breakdown of attributed value

Example:

  • $15,000 in total new subscriptions

  • $6,000 attributed to Klaviyo

  • See how that $6K breaks down between campaigns and flows


What can I see in the Campaigns and Flows tab?

For each campaign or flow, you’ll see:

  • Event count (e.g., subscriptions started)

  • Attribution (how many were driven by that message)

  • Value (if conversion value is enabled)

This gives you line-by-line proof of how much each campaign or flow is contributing to specific business outcomes.


What if something’s not working?

If a metric isn’t behaving as expected — or you’d like to request support for a specific use case — just let us know in Slack. We’re actively improving this feature during beta.
