Summarize this post with AI
Why this matters
Joy now connects to Attentive, so your SMS program can act on what happens in your loyalty program. Customer profiles carry loyalty data, and the events you pick arrive as custom events that can start a journey.
Text customers when points cover a reward
Joy - Points Eligible for Reward fires with the reward name and the points it takes. Your text can name the exact reward the customer's balance now covers.
Warn customers before points expire
Joy - Points Expiring Soon fires seven days before the date, carrying the amount and the expiry date. The customer has a week to come back and spend the balance.
Segment offers by VIP tier
Every Attentive profile carries the customer's VIP tier and points balance, updated as they change in Joy. A Gold-only offer takes a single segment filter.
In Attentive, open Journeys and start one from the custom event Joy - Points Expiring Soon. Write a text that names the amount and the expiry date the event carries.
