Overview
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to send transactional emails with the Brevo package for Joomla. You'll be able to improve your deliverability by sending transactional emails through Brevo SMTP.
Before getting started
You will need the following information prior to installation and use:
- Brevo account credentials. If you don't have one, sign up for free.
- Brevo SMTP password following the instructions here.
- Joomla website admin panel access.
- Follow these steps to install the Joomla package.
Good to know: Your Brevo account needs to be activated to send transactional emails. If it is not activated, contact our support team by creating a ticket from your account.
1. Set up SMTP password
From your Joomla admin, on the Brevo Dashboard, click on the SMTP settings icon to set up your transactional emails.
Paste your SMTP password and click on the Set Joomla mail settings button. The Joomla configuration will be updated.

- Type in your email address in the Test email field.
