Prerequisites – What You’ll Need

Before you connect Attentive to Polar, make sure the following conditions are met:

  • You must have Admin access on Attentive.

  • If the Attentive account owner isn’t a Polar user, they’ll need to be temporarily invited to your Polar workspace and assigned Admin or Connector roles in order to authenticate the connector.

If you’re unsure about how to invite a user to Polar or assign roles, please refer to our User Roles & Permissions guide.

How to Connect Attentive to Polar

1. Navigate to the Connectors Section

  • Log into your Polar Analytics dashboard.

  • Click on the Connectors tab on the left sidebar.

  • Scroll down to the Marketing section and locate Attentive.

2. Initiate the Integration via Alloy

  • Click “Connect to Polar” under the Attentive tile.

  • This will redirect you to Alloy, the middleware tool used to authenticate the connection.

  • Select"Install" and click “Connect to Attentive”.

3. Authenticate the Account

  • A pop-up will appear asking you to log into Attentive.

  • Enter your credentials and approve the connection request.

  • Once successful, the sync process will begin automatically.

What to Expect After Connecting

Initial Data Sync Timing

  • After completing the setup, the initial sync may take up to 24 hours.

  • During this time, historical and real-time data from Attentive will begin flowing into Polar.

Where to Find Your Data

  • Once the sync is complete, you’ll be able to access Attentive metrics across the app, including dashboards, attribution models, and retention analysis.

  • You’ll be able to analyze performance at the campaign, flow, and message level directly alongside other marketing channels like email or Meta Ads.

Need to Troubleshoot?
If you’re not seeing Attentive data after 24 hours, revisit the Connectors tab and ensure the integration status shows as “Connected.” You can also manually retry the sync or re-authenticate the connection if needed.
