Confirm the consent of your contacts

Only contacts who have consented to receive updates from you in the last two years can be imported into Brevo. That's why, before activating the integration, we ask you to confirm that your import adheres to our conditions:

  • If you are importing only contacts who have consented to receive updates from you, check the box.
  • If you are importing contacts who have not consented to receive updates from you (e.g. contacts from a purchased or rented list), make sure you clean your Pipedrive contact list and remove any contact that does not adhere to our conditions before restarting the integration setup again.
❗️ Important
Brevo reserves the right to suspend or cancel any email or SMS campaigns sent to contacts that did not consent to receive updates from you.
