Brevo

Q: Do I need an API key or an SMTP key to connect Brevo?

An API key. Brevo offers both, and they aren't interchangeable: SMTP keys only authorize sending mail over SMTP, so contacts, lists, and CRM actions will be rejected. Generate the key from the API Keys tab, not the SMTP tab.

Q: Should I give the API key an expiry date?

When a key expires, every Brevo step in every automation fails until you generate a replacement and paste it into the connection. Choose no expiry, or set a reminder well ahead of the date.

Q: Do I have to create the webhooks in Brevo myself?

No. Switching on an automation with a Brevo trigger registers the webhook in your Brevo account, and switching it off removes it again. There is nothing to add by hand under Brevo's webhook settings.

Q: What is the difference between the marketing and transactional triggers?

Marketing events come from campaigns sent to your lists, transactional events from individual emails sent.

Q: Is there a free plan available?

Yes. The free plan includes unlimited automations and 100 actions per month, with no credit card required — enough to run your first Brevo workflows before deciding to upgrade.

Q: How do I connect Nodest to Brevo?

Add Brevo as a connection in your Nodest workspace and authorize access. Once connected, you pick the right resources directly from dropdowns while you build an automation — no configuration files to manage.

Q: Can I send data to Brevo and other tools at once?

Yes. An automation can send the same trigger data to several tools in one workflow, so a single event can create entries in more than one tool at the same time.

Q: What kinds of workflows can I automate with Brevo?

Any workflow that connects Brevo with the rest of your stack. Automations can start from events in Brevo or in any other connected tool, and data flows in whichever direction you set up.

Q: Do I need coding skills to use Nodest?

No. Automations are built in a visual editor: pick a trigger, add actions, and map fields between them. If you can use WordPress, you can automate Brevo with Nodest.

Add contacts, manage lists, and send emails automatically to keep your CRM tools in sync with your WordPress site.
