⚠️

This integration is currently in beta. Configuration and behaviour may change.

Prerequisites

Complete these steps in Attentive before configuring Signal.

Create or access your Attentive account

Log in to the Attentive dashboard at ui.attentivemobile.com. If you do not have an account, contact your Attentive representative.

Find your Company ID

Navigate to Settings > Account in the Attentive dashboard. Your Company ID is displayed on this page. Copy it for use in Signal configuration.

Create an API key

Go to Settings > API Keys (or Integrations > API Keys) and click Create API Key. Provide a name (e.g. “Datafly Signal”) and select appropriate permissions for event tracking and subscriber management. Copy the API key immediately.

If you want to attribute new subscribers to a specific sign-up source, navigate to Sign-Up Units in the Attentive dashboard. Find or create the sign-up unit and note the Source ID. This is optional but recommended for attribution tracking.

Configuration

curl -X POST http://localhost:8084/v1/admin/integration-catalog/attentive/install \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Attentive",
    "variant": "default",
    "config": {
      "api_key": "attentive_api_xxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "company_id": "your-company-id",
      "sign_up_source_id": "src-12345"
    },
    "delivery_mode": "server_side"
  }'

Event Mapping

Signal events are mapped to Attentive API calls as follows:

Signal Event	Attentive Concept	Notes
`page`	Custom Event	Page view data sent as a custom event with URL and page properties
`track`	Custom Event	Event name and properties forwarded as custom events for triggering journeys
`identify`	Subscriber update	Email, phone, and traits used to create or update subscriber profiles
`track` (purchase)	eCommerce Event	Purchase events with order and product data sent as eCommerce events

When a sign_up_source_id is configured, new subscribers identified through Signal events are attributed to that source.

Delivery

Events are delivered server-side from your Datafly Signal infrastructure directly to the Attentive API. No client-side scripts are loaded for this integration.

Testing

After installing the integration, trigger a test event from your website or via the Signal event API.
In Attentive, navigate to Subscribers and search for the test user by email or phone number to verify the profile was created or updated.
Check the Event Log (if available) or create a test journey triggered by your custom event to verify event delivery.
In Signal, check the Live Events view to confirm the event was delivered with a 200 response status.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Resolution
`401 Unauthorized`	Invalid or expired API key	Regenerate the API key in Attentive Settings > API Keys and update the integration config
`400 Bad Request`	Missing or invalid company ID	Verify the company ID in Attentive Settings > Account
Subscribers not created	Missing phone number or email	Attentive requires at least a phone number or email to create a subscriber profile
Events not triggering journeys	Journey not configured for the event	Ensure your Attentive journey is set to trigger on the specific custom event name being sent
