Brevo on a Kotisivukamu site
Brevo, formerly Sendinblue, is a European service for newsletters, marketing email and automated email. It also has a light customer database.
How it works on Kotisivukamu
A subscription form is made in Brevo and its embed code is added to the page. When a visitor subscribes, the contact goes straight to the Brevo list you chose. The confirmation email and the recording of consent are handled by the Brevo form’s settings, and no subscriber data is stored in Kotisivukamu.
Brevo offers a few ways to embed the form, and all of them work on a phone when the form is short. The form shows on the page wherever you agree with Kamu, for example above the footer. If you also want contact form messages in Brevo, they can be forwarded there through Zapier or Make.
Besides newsletters, Brevo can send text messages, so it suits, for example, a restaurant or a hair salon that wants to tell regular customers about offers. Before asking, create a list and a form in Brevo and decide whether the form asks only for the email or the name too. A short form is usually easier to fill in.
Step by step
- Create a subscription form in Brevo and choose the list subscribers are added to.
- Turn on the confirmation email (double opt-in) and write a short consent text.
- Copy the form’s embed code, give it to Kamu and say where the form goes.
- Make a test subscription in the preview and check that the address shows on the Brevo list.
Brevo: frequently asked questions
What does Brevo cost?
Brevo bills you directly. Its pricing is based mainly on the number of emails sent and the plan. Check the current prices on Brevo’s own pages.
Can the form be styled to match the site?
Colours and fonts are set in Brevo’s form editor. It is worth checking the result in the preview, because not everything can be changed from the site’s side.
What if I only want enquiries in Brevo?
Then no signup form is needed. Messages from the site’s contact form are forwarded to Zapier or Make, which adds the contact to Brevo.
Are subscribers also stored in Kotisivukamu?
No. The Brevo form sends the details straight to Brevo, and the subscriber list lives there. Subscribers and unsubscribes are managed in Brevo.
