How to use the Magento 2 extension

❗️ Important
To use the Magento extension, you must first create a Sendinblue account and make sure you have added and validated a sender address.

To activate the extension, you need the API key that you will find in your Sendinblue account:

Click your name on the top-right side of the screen
Go to SMTP & API
Copy the API v3 key which is compatible with plugins
After you have copied the API key, login to your Magento website
Go to the Sendinblue extension
On the About Sendinblue tab, activate the Sendinblue module by selecting "Yes" and pasting the API key into the Sendinblue extension settings

Automatically synchronize contacts from your Magento website with your Sendinblue account

If you want to use Sendinblue to manage subscribers from your Magento website, select Yes.

Once this option has been selected, a Sendinblue subscription form will be activated on the home page of your Magento website.

New subscribers to your e-store newsletter will now automatically be added to the contacts database in your Sendinblue account. You can select the list to which new subscribers will be saved, as well as the confirmation email template that will automatically be sent to confirm their subscription.

💡 Good to know
To send subscription confirmation emails, you must make sure that your SMTP account for transactional emails is activated. Otherwise, no confirmations will be sent. If your SMTP account is not automatically activated, you can contact our support team for immediate assistance.

What data is synchronized?

If a contact has subscribed via the website default footer, only the EMAIL field will be synchronized.

If a contact has created a Magento account and subscribed to your newsletter, the following fields will be synchronized:

Attribute	Description	Type of attribute
EMAIL	Email of the contact	TEXT
NAME	First name of the contact	TEXT
SURNAME	Last name of the contact	TEXT
CIV	Civility of the contact	TEXT
BIRTHDAY	Date of birth of the contact	DATE
PS_LANG	Language of the contact	TEXT
COMPANY	Company of the contact	TEXT
SMS	Phone number of the contact	TEXT
GROUP_ID	Group ID, relevant for multistore only	TEXT
STORE_ID	Store ID, relevant for multistore only	TEXT
DEFAULT_GROUP_ID	Groups the contact belongs to	TEXT
CLIENT	Your Sendinblue account will display "1" as a value when the contact is a client.	NUMBER

Automatically track sales with Sendinblue

Check this option to automatically import details of your customers' orders into your Sendinblue database. This will show you the sales generated by your customers in the last X days. It may then be used to segment your database based on sales (e.g. provide a special offer to your VIP customers).

Optimize the deliverability of your transactional emails using Sendinblue SMTP

❗️ Important
You must make sure that your Sendinblue SMTP account has been activated.

By selecting Yes to activate Sendinblue SMTP, your transactional emails (order confirmations, password resets, etc.) will be sent via the Sendinblue SMTP.

Send SMS/text messages

Sendinblue also lets you send SMS directly from your Magento back office, such as:

order confirmation SMS
order shipment SMS
campaign SMS, e.g. countdown to the sales.

When you send campaign SMS to your subscribers/customers from this interface, the campaign will automatically be created in your Sendinblue account. You can then check your campaign report (SMS delivered, opened, clicked on, etc.) from your Sendinblue account. If you only send your campaign to one contact, it will not be created in your Sendinblue account.

You can personalize your SMS with attributes that exist in your Sendinblue database as shown in the screenshot below, e.g. {first_name}.

If you would like to create a targeted segment to use in an SMS campaign, it must be created within your Sendinblue account. Within the back office of your Magento website, the possible targets are limited to:

all your Magento contacts
Magento contacts subscribed to your newsletter
a single contact

Track contact synchronization

When someone subscribes to your newsletter on your Magento website, a green tick will be displayed under each of the statuses shown at the top of the table for this contact ("Subscribed to Magento", "Subscribed to Sendinblue", "Sendinblue SMS Status" - whether or not the contact has agreed to be contacted by SMS).

When someone places an order on your website, only "Subscribed to Sendinblue" and "Sendinblue SMS Status" will be ticked.

You can subscribe and unsubscribe Sendinblue contacts by clicking on the Sendinblue status, which will change from green to red or vice versa. This is equivalent to blacklisting or unblacklisting in your Sendinblue account. You cannot do this for the Magento status.

To synchronize your Sendinblue contacts with Magento, you must run a CRON or make sure that the script runs automatically every day. It must be synchronized at least once a day.
