Connect Brevo API

How to create a Brevo account, find the API key and connect it to LeadBuzz.

  1. 1

    Create your Brevo account

    Open Brevo, choose Sign up and enter your name, business email and password. Confirm the verification email, then sign in. If you already have an account, just sign in.

  2. 2

    Open the API key page

    In Brevo, open your account menu, choose Settings, then SMTP & API and API Keys & MCP. Choose Generate a new API key. Brevo’s official API-key instructions show the current screens.

  3. 3

    Generate and copy the key

    Name it LeadBuzz, choose an expiry that suits your security policy, and generate it. Copy the key straight away and keep it private: Brevo only shows the full key when it is created. You need an API key, not an MCP key.

  4. 4

    Connect it in LeadBuzz

    Sign in to LeadBuzz and open Dashboard → Settings → Brevo. Paste the API key into the password field and select Connect Brevo. LeadBuzz checks the key, creates the list or lists for your plan, then starts syncing existing and new leads.

  5. 5

    Know which list to expect

    The Free plan creates one LeadBuzz - All Enquiries list, so every lead status stays together. Pro and Team create separate New Enquiries, Booked Jobs and Completed Jobs lists. Lead status is also saved on each Brevo contact.

  6. 6

    Check the first sync

    Return to the Brevo section in LeadBuzz Settings and check the sync count. In Brevo, open CRM → Contacts → Lists and look for the LeadBuzz list. Submit a test enquiry and check that it appears. A lead enquiry is not automatically marketing consent, so only send promotional campaigns when you have the right permission.
