Attentive Integration
OVERVIEW
Connect Loop to your Attentive account and engage high-value customers throughout the returns experience with relevant and timely SMS messages. Build customer intimacy and stronger relationships with proactive communication, and drive revenue through a superior returns experience, making your returns a core part of your business model.
With this integration, you can trigger custom journeys based on return events.
Prerequisites
To activate the Attentive integration, you will need to be on a Loop Plus plan, or have the Integrations add-on. If you are on Loop Plus or have the Integrations add-on, follow the instructions below.
If you would like to use the Attentive integration but do not have either of those Loop plans, please email your Merchant Success Manager for more information on upgrading.

Set up the integration
Sign in to your Loop admin account.
Navigate to the Integrations page in the right menu (under the Settings heading). Note: If you don't see Attentive as an available integration, please reach out to Loop support to have it enabled.
If Loop and Attentive aren’t already connected, click the Attentive integration’s toggle to switch it on. You will be redirected to your Attentive account.
Click Authorize. You’re taken back to Loop, where you’ll see the toggle enabled. Your Loop account is now connected to Attentive, and Loop will immediately begin sending custom return events to Attentive.
Note: Each return event is created on the first instance that the event is received from Loop, so it may take up to 24 hours for all Loop events to be listed in Attentive.
Use custom events in Journeys
After the integration is connected, you can create a custom journey in Attentive using the custom events from Loop. The following is a list of the available custom events for the journey:
