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).
Automatically track your customers' behavior on your website
Check this option to track your customers' actions on your website. You can also check the second option to automatically send an email to remind your customers of their abandoned cart on your website.
Optimize the deliverability of your transactional emails
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
