1 min read 6 November 2022

Sendinblue is a free email and SMS marketing service that lets you send transactional emails and set up email and SMS marketing campaigns. To import emails and phone numbers from your website’s forms into your Sendinblue mailing lists, you need to enter the API key to your Sendinblue account.

 

Create your SendinBlue API Key as the first step

  • Create a new account on SendinBlue if you do not already have one of your own.
  • Navigate to the Profile settings and make your selection from the dropdown menu for SMTP & API.
  • To generate your API Key, click the “Create a new API Key.”
  • Form Webhooks API – SendinBlue Make the Key.
  • After you make your API key, you should store a copy of it right away somewhere safe. Sendinblue won’t show you this key again because it would put our security at risk.

 

Create your formidable form in the second step.

  • Create a form in Formidable if you do not already have one to collect your leads if you do not already have one.
  • Include a phone number or an email address in the field, or both.
  • If you want to provide Sendinblue with a phone number, the number you send must have the appropriate country code. e.g. 91xxxxxxxxxx, +91xxxxxxxxxx, 0091xxxxxxxxxx.

 

Set up your API form’s action# in the third step.

  • Choose the Send API data action from your form’s Settings menu under the Actions & Notifications section. You will be allowed to install the Form Webhooks API add-on if you have not done so already.
  • To add the notification URL, copy and paste this address into the box labeled “Notification URL:” https://api.sendinblue.com/v3/contacts/.
  • Form Webhooks API – SendinBlue Configuring the Form and Actions
  • Do not enter any information into the essential Auth area. To insert our API Keys into the header, we will utilize yet another Formidable hook.
  • Raw should be selected as the data format.
  • Make sure that the Method is set to Post.
  • Make sure your API Keys are included in the request header using the following code. Find out more information on where.

 

You are all set! If you add a new contact to your Sendinblue list, submit the input in the form you have provided.
