# Connect your app to Brevo

> Connect your app to Brevo to send transactional and marketing emails, manage contacts and lists, and trigger communication workflows from your Lovable app.

export const connector_0 = "Brevo"

[Brevo](https://www.brevo.com/) is a customer communication platform for email, SMS, contacts, and marketing automation. It's designed for apps that need transactional or marketing messaging, contact management, and multi-channel outreach as part of the product experience.

With Brevo, your app can:

* Send transactional and marketing email
* Manage contacts, lists, and segmentation
* Trigger SMS and WhatsApp campaigns when supported by your Brevo account
* Track delivery and campaign performance events in Brevo

Brevo is a good fit when your app needs branded, high-volume, or multi-channel messaging beyond what Lovable's built-in email provides, or when you already manage contacts and campaigns in Brevo.

<Tip>
  For standard transactional emails (signup confirmations, password resets, receipts, internal notifications), use the built-in [Lovable Emails](/features/custom-emails).

  Reach for the Brevo connector when you need marketing campaigns, contact lists, SMS/WhatsApp, lifecycle automation, or you already manage your messaging in Brevo.

## How to connect Brevo

Workspace **admins** and **owners** can connect Brevo.

You can create multiple Brevo connections using different API keys, which is useful for separating environments (for example, development and production), enforcing different feature scopes, or managing rate limits.

When the connection is created, Brevo becomes available across all projects in the workspace.

### Prerequisites

Before connecting Brevo, make sure you have:

* A Brevo account
* A Brevo REST API key that starts with `xkeysib-`
* Lovable workspace owner or admin role

<Note>
  Requests made through this connector are billed by Brevo based on your Brevo plan and usage. Billing is handled by Brevo, not Lovable.
</Note>

### Step 1: Create a Brevo API key

A Brevo REST API key lets your Lovable app authenticate with the Brevo API. You can create multiple keys with different permissions.

To create an API key in Brevo:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Brevo API key settings">
    Sign in to [Brevo](https://app.brevo.com/) and open **Settings → SMTP & API → API keys**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a new API key">
    Click **Generate a new API key**.

    * Give the key a descriptive name, for example `Lovable integration`.
    * Choose the permissions or scopes the key should have based on what your app needs (for example transactional email, contacts, SMS).
    * Click **Generate**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy and store the key">
    Copy the key and store it securely. Brevo API keys start with `xkeysib-`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Your API key functions like a password. Keep it secure and never share it publicly. You'll need it in the next step.
</Info>

See Brevo documentation for detailed instructions: [Brevo API reference](https://developers.brevo.com/reference).

### Step 2: Connect Brevo to Lovable

You can create multiple connections using different API keys.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Brevo in Connectors">
    Go to **Connectors → App connectors** and select **Brevo**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a connection">
    Click **Add connection**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the connection">
    1. **Display name**: name the connection, for example `Brevo Prod`.
    2. **API key**: paste your Brevo API key (`xkeysib-`).
    3. **Who can access this connection**: keep access limited to specific people or invite the entire workspace. See [**Connection-level access**](/integrations/introduction#connection-level-access) for more information.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect">
    Click **Connect**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

When connected, your Lovable apps can start sending email and SMS, managing contacts, and using Brevo's other API features.

## Limitations

The Brevo connector cannot:

* Receive incoming Brevo webhooks or delivery events directly through the connector (you can poll Brevo's events APIs instead, or configure webhooks to a Brevo-side endpoint outside Lovable)
* Support per-end-user Brevo authentication (each connection uses a single shared API key, scoped to the workspace)
* Refresh or revoke credentials automatically. To rotate, generate a new API key in Brevo and update the Lovable connection before app workflows can send requests again
* Send SMS or WhatsApp messages on accounts where those channels are not enabled or have no available credits. Feature availability depends on your Brevo account, plan, and enabled channels.

## How to unlink projects from a {connector_0} connection

Editors and above can remove specific projects from a connection without deleting the connection entirely. The connection will remain available for other projects.

To unlink projects:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Connectors">
    Open **Connectors**, then go to **App connectors**, and select **{connector_0}**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the connection">
    Open the connection you want to manage.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select projects">
    Under **Linked projects**, check the projects you want to unlink.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Click **Unlink projects** and confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

When unlinked, those projects will no longer have access to {connector_0} through this connection. If a project needs {connector_0} again, you can link it to any available connection.

## How to delete a {connector_0} connection

Workspace admins and owners can delete {connector_0} connections.

<Warning>
  Deleting a connection is permanent and cannot be undone. It will remove the credentials from all linked projects, and any apps using this connection will stop working until a new connection is added.
</Warning>

Before deleting, review the **Linked projects** section to see which projects are currently using the connection.

To delete a connection:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Connectors">
    Open **Connectors**, then go to **App connectors**, and select **{connector_0}**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the connection">
    Open the connection you want to remove.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review linked projects">
    Review the **Linked projects** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete">
    Under **Delete this connection**, click **Delete** and confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>
