Unsetting profile properties in Klaviyo

You can use this Python script to unset the values of default profile properties and removing custom profile properties in Klaviyo.

What does unsetting do?

Unsetting a profile property removes both the key and value from the profiles that you run this script for. Only exception is Klaviyo's default properties (ones with a $ prefix). When unsetting a Klaviyo property, only the values are unset.

Please note, this does not work on event properties.

Option 1 - Without Downloading a CSV File (Slower)

You will want to replace the values of list_id and private_api:

# 1. Add/change values of these editable fields

list_id = " "
private_api = " "
unsettable_props = "[\"$first_name\", \"$last_name\"]"

Then, in unsettable_props, replace $first_name and/or $last_name (unless you specifically want to unset those) with the names of the profile properties you want to unset.

Save the file, then cd into the file's location and then execute the script with the python unset.py command.

Oprion 2 - With a CSV File (Faster)

Replace the value of private_api and then replace $first_name and/or $last_name (unless you specifically want to unset those) in unsettable_props with the names of the profile properties you actually want to unset.

# 2. Add/change values of these editable fields

private_api = " "
unsettable_props = "[\"$first_name\", \"$last_name\"]"

filename = "List Export 2022-08-15"
folder_path = "/Users/brandon.park/Desktop/"

CSV exports are always formatted as "List Export YYYY-MM-DD", change the date in filename accordingly.

Change folder_path depending on where the CSV file is located.

Save the file, then cd into the file's location and then execute the script with the python csv_unset.py command.
