Sign-up flows empower you to design and customize beautiful sign-up units within the Attentive platform. Use these sign-up units to grow your subscriber lists by quickly converting visitors to SMS and email subscribers, and feel more confident knowing that our tool was designed with ADA and TCPA compliance in mind.

Components of a sign-up unit builder
The sign-up unit builder displays all the information about an existing sign-up unit.
The builder has four tabs:
Each tab displays:
- Name of the sign-up unit you're viewing
- A date and time stamp indicating the last time the sign-up unit was edited and by whom
If your sign-up unit is inactive, the Save and close button allows you to save your progress and return later to complete your work. (If your unit is currently active, you won’t see this button.)
Click the three dots on the top right to view a menu with options to rename or make a copy of the current sign-up unit.
Sign-up unit experience for existing subscribers
You can customize the message that appears in sign-up units for subscribers who are already on the list, but submit their information again. For more information about changing the message that appears when existing subscribers sign up, see Customize messages for existing subscribers.
Assign custom attributes to a sign-up unit
You can also assign a custom attribute to a sign-up unit to identify subscribers who submit their information via that unit. This allows you to create messaging specific to these subscribers and to target them in campaigns or trigger a joined-a-segment journey. For more information about assigning custom attributes to sign-up units, see Assign a custom attribute to a sign-up unit.
