How to set up Brevo’s SMTP relay for sending bulk emails
To send transactional messages from third-party web apps and websites over Brevo’s SMTP relay, you need to follow these simple steps:
Open your free Brevo account
Add and authenticate your domain in the Senders and IPs section
Request the SMTP activation by contacting our support team, specifying whether it’s for marketing or transactional emails
Once SMTP is activated, you’ll be given a set of SMTP credentials.
These credentials can be found by clicking on the company name at the top right of your Brevo account. These credentials can be found by clicking on the company name at the top right of your Brevo account and selecting ‘SMTP & API’. SMTP credentials consist of the sending server, an SMTP port, login, and password as in the screenshot below.

The SMTP port helps an email get from point A lebanon telephone number data to point B, and certain ports work better for certain kinds of emails. For TLS and SSL encrypted emails, for example, you would use port 465.
Once you have these details, you’re good to go! Just enter the credentials into the SMTP settings of your email client or other software.
When sending an email, your email client will verify with our server that the SMTP credentials used for authentication are linked to an active Brevo account before sending the email to the recipient’s mail server (and into the recipient’s inbox).
How to set up SMTP email on WordPress
The easiest way to modify WordPress SMTP settings is with a plugin. We recommend our custom-developed WordPress email plugin (or a third-party plugin like WP Mail SMTP).
By default, WordPress sends email over the web host's servers using the wp_mail() function. ISPs often treat email via PHP as suspicious which can lead to the issue of WordPress not sending email to the inbox.
Brevo's SMTP plugin overrides the default WordPress email settings to automatically send email over Brevo. All it takes is a few simple clicks, no coding required.
1. Create a Brevo account following the steps outlined above.
2. Install and activate the Brevo plugin on WordPress. Click ‘Brevo’ on your WordPress dashboard to configure the settings. Follow Step 3 which requires entering an API key.

3. Head back over to the Brevo dashboard. You'll find your API key under SMTP & API.
