How to Connect Attentive.com SMS to LiveHelpNow
Connect Attentive.com SMS to LiveHelpNow
What you need:
- An Attentive.com account with two-way SMS, and admin access to it.
- At least one SMS number provisioned in LiveHelpNow — required to reply. Replies go out from your
LiveHelpNow number, not your Attentive number.
Step 1 — Set up the webhook in Attentive
- In the App Marketplace, choose Create App.
- Open the app's Webhooks tab, switch on Event Webhook Status, and select Universal webhook.
- Set the HTTP Post URL to: https://webhooks.livehelpnow.net/attentive/sms/9XgweR8M2RkBgR39VFQp
- Subscribe to the event: sms.inbound_message.
- Copy the Signing key Attentive shows (it's usually shown only once).
Step 2 — Enter these details in LiveHelpNow
In your LiveHelpNow admin, open Integrations → Attentive, click Add New Number, and fill in:
- Integration name — any label you'll recognize.
- Department — which department these SMS chats go to.
- Your Attentive number (short code, toll-free, or 10-digit).
- Your Signing key (from Step 1).
Save, and your Attentive SMS will start arriving in LiveHelpNow. The API token field is optional — leave it blank; it isn't needed for this setup.
Notes
- No SMS number in LiveHelpNow Messages still arrive as chats, but agents can't reply by SMS. Add a
number under Integrations → SMS. - Can't find sms.inbound_message in Attentive? Ask your Attentive representative to enable two-way SMS for your account
