Configure Brevo SMTP

Connect Brevo so UpForm can send admin notifications, customer emails, verification emails, and follow-ups through your Brevo account.

Create a Brevo API key, add Brevo as a custom email provider in UpForm, then select that provider on each form that should use it.

Watch the Brevo setup video.

Before you begin

  • You need a Brevo account.
  • In UpForm, the email provider is labeled Brevo.
  • Custom providers are managed under SettingsEmail configurationCustom email providers. You can also start from a form’s EmailSMTP section with Add provider.

Create a Brevo API key

  1. Sign in to your Brevo dashboard.
  2. In the top-right corner, click your profile icon, then go to SMTP & API.
  3. Under the API Keys tab, click Create a new API key.
  4. Enter an API key name (for example, UpForm Email Notifications).
  5. Click Generate.
  6. Copy the API key immediately. Brevo typically shows it only once.

Add Brevo in UpForm

  1. In UpForm, open SettingsEmail configurationCustom email providers.
  2. Click Add email provider.
  3. Under Provider, select Brevo.
  4. Enter:
    • API key — the Brevo API key you generated
    • Sender name — name shown as the sender (for example, Your Brand)
    • Sender email — a verified sender email or domain in your Brevo account
    • Title — optional label for this provider in UpForm (for example, Brevo)
  5. Enable Active.
  6. Click Save.

You can also open Add provider from a form’s EmailSMTP section.

Test the connection

  1. Use Send test email in UpForm if it is available for the provider.
  2. Confirm the test message arrives.
  3. Optionally check TransactionalLogs in your Brevo dashboard for delivery status.

Optional: Verify your sender email or domain

To improve deliverability:

  1. In Brevo, go to Senders & IPSenders.
  2. Click Add a sender, or authenticate a custom domain under DomainAuthenticate a domain.
  3. Add the DNS records your provider shows, then wait until verification completes.
