By default, Concierge is turned on for your campaign and journey messages, which enables you to transform one-way messages into two-way conversations. As you get started with Concierge, use this guide to tailor your messages to the new customer experience.
Introduce your agent persona by name
To let subscribers know that they can directly engage with Concierge agents, we recommend including the {{offer.code}} macro, or writing out your agent persona name in an introduction to new subscribers. This can be in the first Send message step of your journey, or in any campaign messages.
For inspiration, click the Concierge bell as you design your message. Then, select Introduce agent persona.
Encourage responses with a prompt or question
By asking subscribers a direct question, or sending them a prompt, you open the door for conversation. For example, you can:
- Send a call to action to the subscribers.
- Tell subscribers to reply via text message with questions.
- Directly ask subscribers if they need assistance with their shopping experience.
For inspiration, you can click the Concierge bell as you design your message. Then, select Response Prompt.
Adopt a Concierge campaign template
Whether you’re creating a campaign, or adding a text message to your journey, you can leverage the campaign templates to introduce your agent persona. When configuring the campaign, click Select a message template. Then, click Concierge on the left menu. You can select any of the templates to base your message off of. Some templates include:

Strategically mention your Concierge program
Attentive routes all subscriber responses (except for support keywords and conversational keywords) to your Concierge agents. This allows subscribers to respond to any campaign or journey message if Concierge is activated.
To ensure subscribers are aware that they can do this, we recommend mentioning your Concierge program in the following messages:
- Autoresponder: Send an automatic response to subscribers each time they mention you informing them that they can text you back for assistance or answers to their questions.
- Campaigns: In your campaigns, remind subscribers that they can reply for questions or assistance.
- Welcome journeys: At the beginning of your new or existing welcome journey, add a text message step that introduces your agent persona and informs subscribers they can respond with questions at any time.
- Cart abandonment journeys: As you remind subscribers to purchase the product in their cart, you can invite them to ask questions to Concierge agents, and potentially incentivize them with an offer to complete the purchase.
