Sync Contacts to Attentive

The Privy integration with Attentive allows contact information collected by Privy to be used for SMS Marketing in Attentive.

​

Features of the integration

The integration currently supports: 

• The auto-sync of all Privy display submissions that include a phone number collected using the default Phone field from Privy to Attentive. 

• Syncing of all default customer attribute fields included in a Privy display submission.

• Syncing of all custom fields included in a Privy display (except for those using the multi-select checkbox format). 

​

2. Select Integrations from the menu that appears.

3. Locate and select Attentive from the Available Integrations area.

4. If you aren’t already logged into your Attentive Account, log in and select Continue.

Syncing Sign Ups to Attentive

Once your integration is all set up, you’re ready to start collecting phone numbers and syncing them to your Attentive account. Here’s how to set that up:

​

1. Collect Phone Numbers with SMS Consent

To sync new sign ups to Attentive, you need to make sure that you are collecting a phone number along with the required SMS marketing consent disclosure on your display.

An example of the standard Attentive legal disclosure is shown below, along with its required placement. Please consult with your Attentive representative to ensure your legal language meets your specific needs. You can read Attentive’s guide to SMS Compliance here.

By signing up, you agree to receive recurring automated promotional and personalized marketing messages from Wicked Wicks Candle at the email and number used at signup. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel texts. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. View our Terms & Privacy Policy.

​

2. Add a Sync Rule in your Settings

Once you’ve added a Phone Number form field and your SMS marketing consent disclosure, head to the Settings step of your display. Click Show Advanced Settings**** and then select the Sync Integrations card.

Click Add Integration and select your Attentive account from the menu. Input your Attentive Source ID and then click Save.

Once you’re happy with your display’s appearance and settings, click Publish and all phone numbers collected will sync to your Attentive account for further SMS marketing.

​

Troubleshooting

If you are encountering issues with your Privy <> Attentive integration, please consider the following:

​

Signups

• Signups only sync to Attentive if the submission includes a single phone number collected via the default Phone (contact_phone) field. 

• Fields with blank values will not sync.

• Fields with multiple values collected via multi-select checkboxes will not sync. 

• The integration does not support transactional opt-ins.

​

Eligibility for text and email

• When a phone number is synced to Attentive, that number will be ‘subscribed’ to the ‘TEXT’ channel for the type of messages associated with their ‘Source ID’.

  • If the contact is a new subscriber, they’ll receive a double opt-in text from Attentive.

  • If the contact is an existing subscriber, they may receive a text from Attentive informing them they’re already subscribed.

• When an email address is synced to Attentive, that email address will be ‘subscribed’ to the ‘EMAIL’ channel for the type of messages associated with their ‘Source ID.‘

​

Sync Errors

• Syncs are reported as a ‘success’ as long as the phone field and/or email field were successfully shared during the attempt. 

• Errors that occur when syncing custom fields are ignored.

​
