Zapier

The Zapier integration lets you connect Attentive with a wide array of third-party software solutions without needing development work. You can use this integration to set up automation flows that can trigger journeys; add custom attributes; and add, remove, or find subscribers. For example, with this integration you can: 

• Create a Zapier flow to trigger a journey that sends email or text messages when subscribers add a specific product to their cart.
• Create a Zapier flow to add a custom attribute to subscribers after they view a product.
• Create a Zapier flow to add, remove, or find a subscriber.

Example use cases

• Pass SMS opt-ins to Attentive from third-party software (e.g., collect phone numbers on a survey built using Formstack).
• Send custom attributes from your CRM to subscriber profiles in Attentive.
• Pass emails collected in Attentive to your email service provider when there isn’t an out-of-the-box integration.
