How to Connect Brevo

Before connecting Brevo to YaySMTP, make sure you already have a Brevo account and an active plan (the free plan works perfectly).

If you haven’t created an account yet, you can register for Brevo and complete the required profile information before proceeding.

You can register by clicking here if you have not done that already.

Once your account is ready, follow the steps below to complete the SMTP connection.

Step 1: Authorize Your Domain

From your Brevo Dashboard, click on "Settings" menu. At "Your Sender and Domains" boxed click on Configure button, move to Domains tab and click "Add a New Domain", enter your domain URL, check the box below then click "Save".

Note: If the page doesn’t respond (as at now that page is buggy this way), do not worry because it is saved anyway, you could just click on the transparent area to leave that pop-up and now the “saved successfully” confirmation dialogue should come up and your domain should now start showing there and if not, then refresh that page and it would come up.

Step 2: Verify Your DNS Records

After adding your domain, you need to verify it by adding DNS records to your hosting provider.

1. In the Domains section, click Authenticate This Domain.

2. Sendinblue will display several DNS TXT records.

3. Add these records to your domain’s DNS settings through your hosting provider.

   • If you are unsure how to do this, contact your hosting support team for assistance.

Important: DNS changes may take some time to propagate. In some cases, it can take up to 24 hours for the records to become active.

Once the DNS records are added:

1. Return to Brevo.

2. Click Authenticate This Domain again.

3. Click Record Added. Please Verify It for each record.

4. After all records are verified, click I'm Done.

Step 3: Create and Add Your Brevo API Key

The final step is connecting Brevo to YaySMTP using an API key.

1. Go to the Brevo API page (you can access it directly from the API field inside YaySMTP).

2. Either:

   • Create a new API key, or

   • Copy an existing API key from the list.

1. Paste the API key into the Brevo API field in YaySMTP.

1. Save your settings.

Important Note

The Brevo mailer will not function properly until all three steps are completed:

• Domain authorization

• DNS record verification

• API key integration

Make sure every step above is completed before testing your email delivery.
