To integrate Brevo with Group Doorman, you’ll need to install our Chrome extension for the group you’re currently managing. You’ll also need a Brevo account.

1.Let’s get started! First, open up Group Doorman and navigate to the Manage groups tab (1). From there, click on the +Add integration button (2) to begin setting up your integration.
2. Next, check the list of available integrations, find Brevo, and click on it.
3. Once you’ve selected Brevo, you will see a setup form. You have the option to create a new account or select an existing one if you have previously used Brevo. Pick whichever option suits you best!!
Adding API key
4. First, visit your Brevo profile. Click on your account icon (1) and then select SMTP & API (2) in the drop-down that appears.
5. Once you have the page open, go ahead and click on the API Keys tab (1) and then click on the Generate a new API key button (2) when it appears.
6. Now, give your API key a name (1) in the pop-up that appears, and then click the Generate button (2).
