Would you like to integrate an app with Brevo and automatically perform certain actions? An easy way to do it is to use one of the plugins or direct integrations available in our App Store.

If no integration is available or if the action you want to perform is not included in the integration, you can easily create a scenario through Make to connect your app with your Brevo account.

Good to know

• This article provides general information about how to create a scenario in Make to integrate an app with Brevo. For more information about how to use Make and create scenarios, we recommend you check Make's documentation.
• In Make, the Brevo app is free to all Brevo clients with up to 1,000 operations per month for free. If you require additional operations, you can check out their monthly subscriptions here.

Before you start

• Create or log into your Make account.
• Log into your Brevo account and retrieve your API v3 key. To learn how to retrieve your API v3 key in Brevo, check our dedicated article Create and manage your API keys.

Supported triggers and actions

To integrate two apps together, you need to set up scenarios on Make. A scenario is triggered by a specific event and then performs specific actions between the apps.

Part 1: Set up the trigger

You first need to choose the trigger that should start your scenario and connect Make to your trigger app to retrieve your data:

1. From Make, click + Create a new scenario.
   
2. Click the + icon and select the name of your trigger app.
3. Choose the trigger that you want to use to start the scenario.
4. Under Connection:
   1. If you're not connected yet, click Create a connection to connect to your app:
      • If you're connecting to Brevo, enter a name for your connection and paste your Brevo API v3 key in the field. To learn how to retrieve your API v3 key in Brevo, check our dedicated article Create and manage your API keys.
      • If you're connecting to an app other than Brevo, follow the instructions provided by Make. 
   2. If you're already connected, select the account that you want to use.
5. Under Limit, enter the maximum number of results to be worked with during one execution cycle.
   
6. Click Ok.
7. Provide more information about the trigger of the scenario.
8. Click Ok.

Step 2: Set up the action

Now, set up the action to be performed when the scenario is triggered:

1. Hover over the side of the trigger and click + Add another module to add your action.
   
2. Select the name of your action app.
3. Under Connection:
   1. If you're not connected yet, click Create a connection to connect to your app:
      • If you're connecting to Brevo, enter a name for your connection and paste your Brevo API v3 key in the field. To learn how to retrieve your API v3 key in Brevo, check our dedicated article Create and manage your API keys.
      • If you're connecting to an app other than Brevo, follow the instructions provided by Make. 
   2. If you're already connected, select the account that you want to use.
4. Provide more information about the action you want to perform.
   
5. Click Ok.

Step 3: Test your scenario

To test your scenario, click Run Once. The scenario will execute and green checkmarks will appear to indicate that the trigger and action were executed successfully.

Step 4: Schedule your scenario (optional)

Now that you've tested it, select how often you want your scenario to run. By default, it is set to run every 15 minutes.

1. Click the 🕑 clock icon next to your trigger to schedule your scenario.
2. From the Run scenario dropdown, select at which interval the scenario should run (at regular intervals, only once, every day, etc.).
3. Optional: Click Add item under Advanced scheduling to define specific time intervals from specific items.
4. Optional: Click Show advanced settings to select a start and end time for your scenario.
   
5. Click Ok.

Step 5: Activate your scenario

If you're happy with your scenario and its scheduling options, click the SCHEDULING toggle button at the bottom-left side to activate it.

That's it! Now your scenario between Brevo and your other app will run according to the schedule you selected.

Troubleshooting
