Overview

Simon allows you to sync audiences to Attentive, creating dynamic subscriber lists that can be used for highly personalized SMS targeting. To do this, we use Simon’s Send File to Attentive (via SFTP) channel action to send a CSV that includes the phone numbers or emails of subscribers and the name of the corresponding segmentation list.

Please see Attentive’s Subscriber Segment Upload documentation for additional information.
