Kustomer

You can connect Attentive with Kustomer to enable your customer support team to directly answer customers’ text message responses. The Attentive and Kustomer integration requires setup steps in both platforms.

Here's what we cover in this guide:

• How to generate an API Token in Kustomer
• How to configure the Kustomer integration in the Attentive platform

Here's what we don't cover in this guide:

• How to set up a Kustomer account
• How to set up an Attentive account

Step 1. Generate an API Token in Kustomer

Log in to your Kustomer account and complete the following steps:

1. Click Settings in the side navigation.
   
2. Click Security and then select API Keys.
3. Click Add API Key.
4. Enter a name. It is recommended to use a name to indicate that the key is used for the integration with Attentive. For example, Attentive API Key.
5. Click the Roles drop-down list and select the following roles:
   • org.admin
   • org.permission.conversation
   • org.permission.customer
   • org.permission.message
   • org.permission.tag
   • org.permission.workflow
6. Select No Expiration from the Expires drop-down list.
7. Leave the CIDR IP Restriction field blank.
8. Click Create.
   
   A Token Created modal appears with your new Kustomer API Key.
9. Click the copy icon (as shown in the following image) and save the token. This token will be used in Step 2.
   
   Note: You must copy the API token while in this modal because you cannot access this value after you exit the modal.

You can view API Keys in the Kustomer Help Center if you need more information.

Step 2. Set up the integration in Attentive

Now, complete the following procedure to set up the integration in Attentive’s platform:

1. Navigate to the integration setup page and select Kustomer.
2. Enter the following details that you collected in the previous steps:
   • User Email—This is your Kustomer email address that you use to log in.
   • API Token—This is the token that you generated in Kustomer in Step 1.
3. (Optional) Edit the Support Confirmation setting. By default, this setting is enabled (on) and includes a default keyword and messages for the following fields:
   • Support Confirmation Keyword
   • Acknowledgement Message
   • Resolution Message
     
     Important! If this setting is enabled, you must update your autoresponder to include the Support Confirmation Keyword, otherwise customers won't know how to reply for support. See Autoresponders for details.
4. Click Set up integration. Your Kustomer account is now connected to Attentive.
