Brevo consultants

Q: Can I send transactional emails through n8n using Brevo?

Yes. The Brevo node supports sending transactional emails using your pre-built Brevo templates. You provide the template ID, recipient details, and any dynamic variables (like order numbers or customer names), and n8n sends the email through Brevo's transactional API with full delivery tracking.

Q: How do I sync contacts between my CRM and Brevo?

Create an n8n workflow triggered by new or updated contacts in your CRM. The workflow maps CRM fields to Brevo contact attributes, then uses the Brevo node to create or update the contact. For two-way sync, add a second workflow using the Brevo Trigger node to push changes back to your CRM.

Q: Can I add contacts to specific Brevo lists automatically?

Yes. The Brevo node supports adding and removing contacts from lists by list ID. You can use conditional logic in n8n to sort contacts into different lists based on their attributes, source, or behaviour — for example, putting Sydney-based leads on a different list from Melbourne ones.

Q: What is the difference between the Brevo node and the Brevo Trigger node?

The Brevo node performs actions — creating contacts, sending emails, updating lists. The Brevo Trigger node listens for events in Brevo — like email opens, clicks, unsubscribes, or hard bounces — and starts a workflow when they happen. Use both together for complete two-way automation.

Q: Does the integration handle duplicate contacts?

Brevo identifies contacts by email address. If you use the create or update operation, Brevo will update the existing contact rather than creating a duplicate. This makes it safe to run sync workflows repeatedly without worrying about duplicated records in your lists.

Q: Can I track email campaign performance through n8n?

You can use the Brevo Trigger node to capture real-time events like opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes, then route that data to analytics tools or databases. For campaign-level statistics, use the HTTP Request node with Brevo's statistics API endpoints to pull aggregate performance data.

About Brevo

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is an all-in-one marketing platform covering email campaigns, transactional emails, SMS messaging, and CRM. The n8n Brevo node lets you automate contact management, trigger email sends, update subscriber lists, and sync customer data between Brevo and your other business systems without manual imports or exports.

Marketing and operations teams use this integration to keep their contact data clean and their communications timely. When a new lead fills out a form on your website, an n8n workflow can add them to the right Brevo list, tag them based on their enquiry type, and trigger a welcome email sequence — all within seconds. When a customer makes a purchase, another workflow can update their Brevo profile with order details and move them into a post-purchase nurture campaign.

Osher helps organisations build sales automation workflows that connect Brevo to CRMs, e-commerce platforms, and internal databases. We set up real-time contact syncing so your email lists always reflect the latest customer data. A common pattern we build is a lead scoring pipeline: form submissions and website activity flow into n8n, get scored against qualification criteria, and then update Brevo contact attributes and list memberships so the right campaign reaches the right person.

The n8n node supports contacts, lists, email sending (both transactional and campaign), and event tracking. It works with Brevo’s v3 API and handles pagination for bulk operations, making it practical for both small lists and databases with tens of thousands of contacts.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Brevo

As Brevo consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Brevo with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Get Your Brevo API Key

Log into your Brevo account and go to SMTP & API under Settings. Generate a new v3 API key with the permissions your workflows need (contacts, email, SMS). Copy the key and store it securely — you will need it for the n8n credential setup.

Step 2

Add Brevo Credentials in n8n

In n8n, navigate to Credentials and add a new Brevo API credential. Paste your API key and test the connection. Once verified, this credential can be reused across all your Brevo workflows without re-entering the key.

Step 3

Set Up Your Trigger

Choose how your workflow starts. Use a Brevo Trigger node to react to email events (opens, clicks, bounces), a Webhook node for form submissions from your website, or a Schedule Trigger for periodic batch syncs from your CRM or database.

Step 4

Configure Contact Operations

Add a Brevo node and select the contact resource. Choose create, update, or upsert (create or update) as your operation. Map incoming data fields — email, first name, last name, and any custom attributes — to the corresponding Brevo contact fields.

Step 5

Add List Management and Email Sends

If needed, add another Brevo node to manage list membership (add contacts to or remove them from specific lists). For automated emails, add a Brevo Send Email node with your template ID and dynamic template variables mapped from your workflow data.

Step 6

Test with a Sample Contact

Run the workflow manually using a test email address. Verify the contact appears in Brevo with the correct attributes and list memberships. Check that any triggered emails are delivered. Once confirmed, activate the workflow for production use.
