Root cause analysis needs timestamps precise enough to put events in order.
From Klaviyo that means send times, subject lines and deliverability events. From Slack it means incident threads and their timestamps.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Klaviyo on its own
Klaviyo sees who received, opened and clicked. It credits revenue by its own attribution window and cannot see sales that happen off the store it is connected to.
Timing. Klaviyo logs sends, opens and clicks as events. Apple Mail Privacy Protection preloads images, so open counts run high and clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. A Klaviyo private API key with read-only scopes.
Slack on its own
Slack records what the team said about the business and when. Sales, traffic and spend live in other tools.
Timing. Slack timestamps every message, which makes it a record of when the team noticed and decided things.
Access. A Slack app installed to the channels you choose.
