Send with Brevo from Emerge
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is a popular all-in-one marketing platform with a transactional email API. Connect its API to Emerge and send through your Brevo account and domain without moving your sending setup.
Why use Brevo with Emerge
- Businesses already on Brevo
- Using Brevo's free daily allowance as a sender
- Europe-based teams
- Your domain and reputation stay yours — Emerge adds contacts, templates, campaigns, automations, tracking and bounce handling on top
1. Get your Brevo credentials
- 1
Generate an API key
In Brevo open your profile menu → SMTP & API → API Keys → Generate a new API key. It's a v3 key that starts with xkeysib-.
2. Authenticate your sending domain
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are what let inboxes trust your mail — without them it’s far more likely to land in spam.
- 1
Authenticate your domain
Open Senders, Domains & Dedicated IPs → Domains → Add a domain, and add the Brevo code, DKIM and DMARC records it shows. Then add your From address under Senders.
3. Connect Brevo in Emerge
In Emerge, open Senders, click the provider's button and fill in the form. Emerge checks the credentials with the provider before saving anything, and stores them encrypted.
- API key (v3)
- SMTP & API → API Keys.
- From email
- A sender you've added in Brevo, on your authenticated domain.
Then send yourself a test email from the sender’s row. You can add more senders to the same pool — Emerge rotates between them and moves on if one fails or hits its limit.
4. Report bounces and complaints back
In Brevo add a transactional webhook (Transactional → Settings → Webhook) with the URL from Emerge's Senders page → Bounce reporting → Brevo, and select hard bounce, soft bounce, blocked, invalid email and spam (complaint).
Once bounces come back, Emerge stops sending to those addresses, and pauses a campaign whose bounce or complaint rate gets too high.
Good to know
- Brevo's plan limits (including the free plan's daily cap) apply — set the same daily quota on the sender in Emerge.
