Already using Klaviyo or another pop-up tool? Connect Umbrella’s opt-in experience with your existing setup through supported integrations.

Your questions, answered

Before you get started

Is Umbrella a fit for my business category?

We work with alternative and regulated retailers. During discovery, we review your category, intended content, and messaging eligibility.

Can I bring my existing subscriber list?

Yes—we’ll review your list and consent records. A customer record or past purchase alone does not establish marketing SMS consent.

Does it connect with my POS or online store?

Umbrella offers integration options including Lightspeed and Shopify. We’ll confirm the supported data and workflows for your setup.

What is required to launch automations?

We confirm consent, integrations, customer identification, event tracking, creative, and timing, then test before launch. Browse, product, and cart flows need the relevant website events; purchase-based win-back flows need purchase data.

Can your team manage the program for me?

Yes. We’ll outline Done-for-U™ services, responsibilities, and the level of support that fits your team during your demo.
