About Attentive SMS
Attentive is an enterprise SMS and MMS marketing platform trusted by hundreds of leading ecommerce brands for personalized text campaigns and automated flows. When customers reply to Attentive messages or text your brand directly, those inbound conversations deserve a real response — not silence or a generic auto-reply. Connecting Attentive to Bookbag enables the AI agent to handle inbound SMS support conversations in real time: answering order status queries, explaining shipping details, resolving return requests, and escalating to a human when warranted — all within the text thread. This closes the loop on two-way SMS for brands that have historically treated it as a broadcast-only channel.
How it works together
Connect Attentive SMS and Bookbag gets the context and reach it needs to resolve more tickets automatically.
- Connect Attentive via API credentials and webhook routingConfigure Attentive to forward inbound subscriber messages to Bookbag's webhook endpoint, and provide Bookbag with your Attentive API credentials for sending outbound replies back through the Attentive platform.
- Identify subscribers and retrieve contextWhen an inbound SMS arrives, Bookbag matches the sender's phone number to the Attentive subscriber profile, reads their subscription status and segment membership, and queries your connected Shopify store for order context.
- Resolve support questions within the text threadBookbag answers order status, tracking, and return questions entirely within the SMS conversation — no need to redirect customers to a website, email, or phone line.
- Escalate complex conversations to human agentsWhen a message requires human judgment, Bookbag routes it to your team with a full conversation summary. The human agent picks up in Attentive's inbox with complete context and no repeated information from the customer.
