Product update

Your most engaged customers show up to your Instagram Lives. Now your loyalty program shows up too.

Joy now rewards customers who comment during your Instagram Live broadcasts — automatically. Includes a Shopify Flow trigger so every Live comment can chain into Klaviyo flows, Shopify tags, Slack pings, or any downstream action.

Why this matters

Instagram Live Comment Rewards credit loyalty points to customers who comment during your Instagram Live broadcasts. Each detected comment also fires a Shopify Flow trigger, so you can build follow-up automations on the same event.

  • Reward customers who show up live

    Joy detects comments posted during your broadcast and credits points to the customer who commented. Commenting during a product drop or a Q&A becomes an action customers earn from.

  • Follow up after the broadcast

    Use the Shopify Flow trigger to send a Klaviyo email to customers who commented, such as early access to what you launched on the Live.

  • Build a segment of Live commenters

    Tag commenters in Shopify from the same trigger. Your next drop can open to that segment first.

Try this
Run a bonus points campaign for anyone who comments during your next drop Live. Follow with a Klaviyo email that gives those commenters early access to what you launched.
