Send emails from your Lovable app with Brevo
Connect the Brevo app + chat connector to your Lovable project so it can send transactional or marketing email, manage contacts and lists, and trigger automation workflows through your own Brevo account.
Overview
Lovable includes built-in Lovable Emails for standard transactional messages (signup confirmations, password resets, receipts). Use the Brevo connector instead when your app needs branded or high-volume sending, marketing campaigns, contact lists and segmentation, SMS/WhatsApp, or lifecycle automation — or when your team already manages messaging in Brevo.
The connector is available as an app + chat connector: one connection that works both while you’re building in the Lovable chat and in your published app.
Prerequisites
- A Brevo account
- A Brevo REST API key (starts with
xkeysib-) - Permission to create connections in your Lovable workspace (on Enterprise plans, an admin must enable this first)
Connect Brevo to Lovable
Create a Brevo API key
- Sign in to Brevo, click Settings (gear icon) in the left sidebar, then open SMTP & API > API keys & MCP (direct link: app.brevo.com/settings/keys/api).
- Click + Generate API key, name it descriptively (e.g.
Lovable integration). - Choose the permissions the key needs (transactional email, contacts, SMS, etc.) and click Generate.
- Copy and store the key securely — you can’t view it again later.
This tab also offers Activate for API keys, which restricts API calls to a list of authorized IPs (Security > Authorized IPs). Skip this if Lovable’s outbound IPs aren’t static/allowlistable; otherwise it’s a good hardening step.
Connect Brevo in Lovable
- Open Connectors in your Lovable dashboard and select Brevo.
- Click Add connection.
- Give the connection a display name (e.g.
Brevo Prod) and paste your API key. - Under Sharing, decide whether the connection stays private to you or is shared with the workspace.
- Click Connect — Lovable verifies the key against the Brevo API before saving it.
You can create multiple connections with different keys to separate environments (dev/prod) or permission levels.
Link the connection to your project
Anyone building in a project can ask Lovable, in the project chat, to link the project to your Brevo connection. Then describe the flow you want, for example:
Use Brevo and send an order confirmation email after checkout, with the order number and total.
Lovable wires the app event to a Brevo email send using the linked connection.
Limitations to know about
- The connector can’t receive incoming Brevo webhooks — poll Brevo’s events API instead, or point a Brevo webhook at an endpoint outside Lovable.
- Credentials don’t auto-rotate; to rotate, generate a new Brevo API key and update the Lovable connection.
- SMS/WhatsApp sends only work if those channels are enabled (with available credits) on your Brevo account.
- Each connection maps to a single Brevo account, shared by every project linked to it.
