The process involves configuring a website or application to route email communications through Brevo’s (formerly Sendinblue) servers using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and a specific plugin designed for integration. For instance, a WordPress website might employ a Brevo plugin to manage outgoing emails, ensuring reliable delivery and access to Brevo’s email marketing features. Configuration generally requires entering SMTP credentials (server address, port, username, and password) provided by Brevo into the plugin settings.
Employing Brevo’s SMTP service through a plugin offers enhanced deliverability and tracking capabilities compared to relying on standard hosting server email functionality. It alleviates the burden of managing email infrastructure, reducing the risk of emails being marked as spam. Historically, businesses struggled with email deliverability; leveraging specialized services like Brevo with dedicated plugins mitigates these challenges, providing a reliable email communication channel.
