Connect Brevo to Bulk Email Sending to multiple clients

Overview

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) allows users to send bulk emails efficiently using its API. This document outlines the process of configuring and sending bulk emails using the provided sender name, sender email, and API key.

Prerequisites

Before sending bulk emails, ensure you have the following:

A Brevo account
A valid API key
Sender email and sender name configured in Brevo

Step 1: Configure API Credentials in Brevo

Create and manage your API keys

In this article, we will explain what an API key is and how you can create a new one or delete an existing one.

💡 Good to knowOnly Brevo users with API keys permission can access the SMTP & API page, create a new API key, or delete an existing API key. To learn more about user permissions and permission levels, check our dedicated article User permissions and permission levels in Brevo.

What is an API key?

An API key is a code used to identify and authenticate an application or user. It acts as a unique identifier and provides a secret token for authentication purposes.

For example, you can use an API key to connect your website or information system to Brevo. This will enable you to automatically and manually trigger certain actions between the two.

With an API key, you can also connect to our API to automatically add new contacts, as well as do more complex tasks, such as:

Creating and scheduling campaigns from the API.
Exporting users that belong to particular lists.
Exporting campaign statistics, etc.

To access the full list of commands that you can use with our API, check our API documentation.

Where can I find my API keys?

To protect your API keys and make them more secure, your existing API keys are not visible from your Brevo account. Only the last digits of the keys are displayed on the SMTP & API page so that you can distinguish between several keys if necessary:

That's why we strongly suggest you store your API key in a safe environment when you create your API key. If you've lost your API key, we recommend you create a new one, store it in a safe environment, and replace the previous one.

Create an API key

💡 Good to knowThe account owner will receive an email notification, including details such as the IP address and location, whenever an API key is created or deleted from the account.

When configuring an integration with your Brevo account, you may need to create a new API key:

Go to Your account name > SMTP & API.
Click Generate a new API key.
Name your API key. Make sure it specifies with which integration the API key will be used so that you can easily recognize it.
Click Generate.
Copy your API key and store it in a safe environment. ❗️ ImportantYour API key is only visible during this step. Once your API key is created, you won't be able to copy it anymore and you'll need to create a new one if you lose it.
Click OK.
