Brevo Setup

Brevo Setup Guide

This guide is created to help those that wish to set up their own Brevo account. Keep in mind that Brevo may change the visuals of their website so if it does not match let us know and we can create some more screenshots. You can also Google search the set up as well. If you want more information about how the email journey works check out our blog post.

Look for the hand pointing for guidance on the images.

NOTE: If you do not want to set up Brevo yourself we can do it for a fee, but we will still need some involvement from you.

First

Open a free account and be sure ot enter all of your business information when asked. If you do not complete all of the business information it could have a negataove impact on the account so be sure top enter all of your information like address, phone number, website, etc.

If you are not able to login to the domain account to authenticate then produce the DKIM or DMARC through the manual option.

Manual Option to Authenticate the Domain

Follow the directions to manually authenticate the domain (if we are holding the domain, if the domain is in your GoDaddy account then you can do it the automatica way).

We will need the 3 pieces of information from the Brevo code, 3 pieces of information from the DKIM 1 Record, 3 pieces of information from the DKIM 2 Record, and the 3 pieces of information from the DMARC Record. All of this information will need to be copied and pasted into an email to send to us, screenshots are not accepted.
