Attentive User Attributes API

Endpoints for submitting bulk user attribute updates. Use these endpoints to upload large datasets of user data in a single request and monitor the processing status asynchronously. Typical use cases include importing records in batch and retrieving job completion results via status checks. ## Processing Times The Bulk API processes jobs with the following targets: - **Standard Processing**: The first 10,000 user records per day per customer typically complete within 4 hours of request acceptance. - **High-Volume Processing**: Additional records beyond 10,000 per day typically complete within 12 hours. **Note**: For jobs with more than 1 million records, processing times may vary.

For TEXT subscriptions, this may result in a message being sent to the person indicating that they are already subscribed.\n- Requests to opt-in subscribers must contain a sign-up source id.\n  - The unique identifier of a sign-up source can be found in the Sign-up Units tab of the Attentive platform in the ID column.\n  If this value is provided in the request, then this sign-up unit will be used for opting in the user in the request.\n\n- Callers of this endpoint have the option to omit `signUpSourceId` and, instead, provide both a `locale` and a `subscriptionType` (see below for field details). Given the locale and subscription type, Attentive will resolve any matching API opt-in units. To opt-in a user to a subscription without a `signUpSourceId` and exclusively based on locale and subscription type, there must be exactly one API sign-up unit that matches the provided locale and subscription type. Conversely, requests that contain a locale and a subscription type that do not have a corresponding sign-up unit or that have multiple matching sign-up units will receive a `400` response and will not opt a user into a subscription.\n- Phone numbers must be submitted in [e164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164).\n    - valid examples: `+19148440001`, `+442071838750`, `+551155256325`\n    - invalid examples: `19148440001`, `+1---914---844---0001`, `1 () 914 844 0001`\n"

            Notes:

            - Sending duplicate values could lead to unintentionally bridging users together.

            - Don''t use customIdentifiers to send attributes (e.g., first name, last name). To send those types of attributes, add to the attributes payload.

            - Avoid sending null values or empty strings. If you don''t have a valid identifier, you should omit the field from the payload.
