Brevo connection setup

This guide walks you through generating an API key in Brevo and connecting your account to LinkyFlow, so you can work with its contacts, lists, campaigns, transactional emails and CRM in Excel or in the web app.

Requirements

• A Brevo account
• The right to generate API keys in it

Step 1 — Generate an API key

1. In Brevo, open your account menu (top right) and choose SMTP & API, then the API Keys tab.
2. Click Generate a new API key and name it LinkyFlow.
3. Copy the key (xkeysib-…): Brevo shows it once. It reaches the whole account: keep it to LinkyFlow.
4. If your account blocks unknown IP addresses, open Security → Authorised IPs and leave them unblocked: LinkyFlow calls Brevo from addresses that change, and Brevo refuses a call from an address it blocks as it refuses a wrong key.

Step 2 — Add the connection in LinkyFlow

1. In Excel or the web app, open Connections → Add connection.
2. Choose Brevo from the provider list.
3. Paste the key in API Key.
4. Save. LinkyFlow checks the key with Brevo, and names a connection you left unnamed after your company.

One connection reads one Brevo account: to connect another account, add another connection with its own key.

Step 3 — Load your first query

1. Insert a LinkyFlow query and pick the Brevo provider.
2. Choose Account, select your connection in the Link field, and run it: the account's company, plans and credits load.
3. Choose Contacts and run it. Move on to the next page, or pick All results to read the pages in a row.
4. In the Excel add-in, build one of the three Brevo dashboards — Brevo Contacts & Lists, Brevo Campaigns & Transactional, Brevo CRM — for ready-made counts over these tables.

Ending LinkyFlow's access

Delete the connection in LinkyFlow, and delete the key in Brevo under SMTP & API → API Keys: once the key is gone, nothing can use it.

LinkyFlow keeps the key server-side: it is never shown again, and never sent to an AI assistant.
