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 Zap through Zapier to connect your app with your Brevo account.
For example, you can create a Zap so that when you send an email campaign through Brevo (trigger), a new row with information about the campaign is added to a Google Spreadsheet (action).
