Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) combines transactional email, marketing campaigns, SMS messaging, and a built-in CRM. Connect it to Rocket and describe the messaging flow you want in chat. Rocket generates the complete logic: templates, API calls, contact management, and automation triggers.
Brevo is a great choice when you need email, SMS, and CRM in a single platform. Pair with Supabase for user data and Stripe for payment-triggered communications.

Tips and limitations

  • Brevo combines email, SMS, and CRM. Unlike standalone email services, Brevo includes SMS sending and contact management in one platform.
  • Free tier includes 300 emails per day. Brevo’s free plan allows 300 emails daily with no contact limit. Upgrade for higher sending volume and advanced features.
  • Transactional and marketing are separate. Brevo treats transactional emails and marketing campaigns as separate categories with different sending limits.
  • Manage contacts in Brevo. You can add contacts through Rocket, but deleting contacts, managing unsubscribes, and editing campaign templates must be done in the Brevo dashboard.
  • One Brevo account per project. Each Rocket project connects to one Brevo API key.
