Cheetah Digital

Grow your text marketing list and your email list at the same time using Attentive’s best-in-class sign-up forms. Customers can opt in to both email and text marketing in the same sign-up flow. Our integration ensures that emails automatically sync to Cheetah Digital so that you can start sending marketing emails immediately. This integration also helps you keep your contact data and opt-in status up-to-date.

Postback data

Through this integration, Attentive shares the following data with Cheetah Digital:

• email
• phone
• opt-in status
• timestamp
• API post ID
  

Prerequisites

Ensure that you meet the following requirements in order to set up this integration:

• You must have a Cheetah Digital account
• You must contact your Cheetah Digital account representative and ask them to help you set up a Data Map and API Post within your Messaging account.
  • Data Map—The Data Map provides data handling instructions, such as where to store the inbound data contained within the API request message, whether this data should be used to update existing records and/or create new records, and any optional formatting or special processing to perform on the inbound data.
  • API Post—The API Post defines all the expected fields in the request message.

Now, complete the following procedures to set up the integration.

Step 1. Collect Cheetah Digital information

Sign in to your Cheetah Digital account and locate the following information:

• API Post ID (also known as the Form ID)—Locate and save the unique Form ID of your API Post, as described in API Technical Guide: Standard Data Load (page 17).
• Consumer Key and Secret—Generate and save your Consumer Key and Secret as described in Cheetah Digital’s Messaging API How-to Guide (page 11).

Note: If you’re having trouble locating this information, we recommend that you contact your Cheetah Digital account representative for assistance.
