Omnisend app will appear under the Your Apps section in the Integrations tab.

Welcome email for Attentive subscribers
Attentive subscribers trigger our default Welcome workflow based on the 'Signup' trigger. Keep in mind that the 'Signup' trigger is only triggered if the customer has become a subscriber just now. So, if you want it to work this way, you may keep on using the default Welcome workflow for Attentive subscribers. However, if you want to send a follow-up email to contacts that have filled out an Attentive Signup form despite them being in the Omnisend prior to that, you'll need to set up a separate workflow for Attentive subscribers, as it's explained below.
Along with email address and phone number, Attentive passes a 'source: attentive' tag that you can use to identify Attentive subscribers. To send welcome emails to contacts passed from the Attentive app, you'll need to create a segment based on the 'source: attentive' tag.
Then create Welcome automation by going to the Automation tab ➡️ New Workflow ➡️ Welcome. You can copy your Welcome automation if you already have one and would like to use the same workflow for the Attentive subscribers.
Then switch the Signup trigger to Contact enters a segment. Set the segment that you've created on the first step, as a trigger filter.
Edit the content that should be sent to the Attentive subscribers, if you want, and enable the automation. All contacts synced from the Attentive app will receive communication from your Welcome workflow.
Note! If you've set up a separate workflow for the Attentive subscribers, make sure to exclude them from your default Welcome workflow based on the 'Signup' trigger, if you have one. So, they won't receive duplicate emails. To do that, add the 'Attentive Subscribers' segment that you've created for the Attentive subscribers workflow as an audience filter to your Welcome workflow with the 'is not' rule:
