The platform’s warmup processes make sure that our cold emails don’t bounce into spam filters. It also makes use of AI behavior tracking as we’re sending which is great for campaigns scaling. It’s also really valuable to be able to track open rates and responses.

Attentive authentication
How To Authenticate Your Attentive Sending Domain
Attentive runs SMS-first retention programs with a growing email channel. Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft require authenticated email from bulk senders, so a authenticated sending domain with valid SPF, DKIM and DMARC is the baseline for reaching the inbox.
- 01Open Attentive with an account that has administrator access.
- 02Go to Settings → Email → Domain authentication.
- 03Add the sending subdomain you want to use, for example send.example.com.
- 04Copy the DNS records Attentive generates - typically CNAME records generated by Attentive.
- 05Publish each record with your DNS provider, exactly as shown.
- 06Return to Attentive and run verification once DNS has propagated.
- 07Publish a DMARC TXT record at _dmarc.example.com, starting with p=none.
- 08Send a test message and confirm spf=pass, dkim=pass and dmarc=pass.
| Protocol | Purpose | Typical record | What it verifies |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPF | Authorizes sending infrastructure | TXT record on the sending domain | The sending server |
| DKIM | Adds a cryptographic signature | CNAME records generated by Attentive | The message and the signing domain |
| DMARC | Defines alignment and failure policy | TXT record at _dmarc | The visible From domain |
Record names and values differ per account. Always copy them from your own Attentive screen rather than from a generic example.
Why placement drops
Why Attentive Emails Go To Spam Or Promotions
Authentication only proves who sent the message. Placement depends on reputation, engagement and list quality - and Attentive senders hit a few specific problems.
Email is added on top of an existing SMS program, so the sending domain is usually brand new.
Subscriber growth is fast, and fresh addresses have no engagement history.
Promotional cadence is high by design, which needs a strong reputation to sustain.
Common causes across every sender
- A cold sending domain pushed to full volume in a single campaign.
- Invalid, purchased or long-inactive addresses raising bounce and complaint rates.
- Weak or missing DMARC alignment between the signing domain and the From address.
- Blocklist entries or a damaged IP reputation nobody is monitoring.
- Image-heavy, discount-heavy templates that filters cluster into promotions.

The most common causes are a cold sending domain, incomplete SPF, DKIM or DMARC alignment, poor list quality and low engagement. Email is added on top of an existing SMS program, so the sending domain is usually brand new. Warmy identifies which of these applies to your domain and fixes reputation automatically.
Create a authenticated sending domain under Settings → Email → Domain authentication, publish the DNS records Attentive generates (CNAME records generated by Attentive), add a DMARC TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain.com and verify. Warmy validates all three records for you and flags anything that fails.
