Why LoyaltyLion and Attentive?
Connect your loyalty and engagement platform to grow your list of SMS subscribers. Reward your customers with loyalty points when they sign up to receive SMS marketing campaigns. With this integration, you set up the number of points a user can receive, and then Attentive can pass back the subscriber’s email address, phone number, and the number of loyalty points to your LoyaltyLion platform.

For more information on what that link might be, speak to your Attentive CSM, but you should be able to link customers to the page there with a description like this or similar:

11. To finish setting up the sign-up rule, follow steps 2 and 3 in Attentive's guide here.
FAQ
Q. Why didn't my customer get points for signing up for SMS?
There are a couple of things you can check to see why a customer didn't get points:
Do you have an email field in your SMS sign-up form? If not, we won't be able to connect the SMS number to the customer.
Did the customer enter the same email address to this form as the one they've registered for the loyalty program? If not, we won't be able to find the correct customer account to give points.
Is the Loyalty Name in Attentive set up to
attentive_smsas mentioned in step 9?
If all of the above statements are true, there may be an issue - contact support@loyaltylion.com for further support. You can manually give points in the case of user errors like those above, though - click here to find out how.
Q. Why don't I see my LoyaltyLion events appearing in Attentive?
The events appear in real-time as customers fulfil LoyaltyLion activities, meaning that they will only be available once the event has been completed.
For example, before the refer-a-friend event appears in Attentive, a successful referral needs to be completed. If you have 0 referrals completed on your store, you won't see the referral completed event in Attentive.
If a customer has signed up to SMS prior to creating a loyalty account, they won't receive sign up to SMS points. Attentive won't trigger the API to give points, if they're already registered to receive SMS messages.
