[New Plugin] Sendinblue Contacts

talkingoldfish · 2020-08-14T08:40:24.943Z

Hi, glad it helps you out a bit

I’ve just added a new update (v1.1.1) which has an API call that allows you to create / update a contact whilst populating any fields that you specify.

Eg. if you wanted to update the contact’s (john.doe@example.com) NAME (text field), ID (assuming number field) and LOCATION (text field) then you would use the ‘Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES’ call with the below Body JSON data:
{
“email”: “john.doe@example.com”,
“attributes” : {
“NAME”: “John Doe”
“ID”: 493824,
“LOCATION”: “United Kingdom”
},
“updateEnabled”: true
}

Any issues just give me a shout.

Hi @talkingoldfish

I just updated your plugin to (v1.1.1) and followed your JSON data set up, it worked out perfectly. You saved me a big headache and time from updating them manually since not only I had attributes for sign up but also newsletters (form created on Sendinblue such as opt in). I can’t appreciate enough for your help and the time you put in to create and update the plugin!

Also just found out that Sendinblue system matches the new imports and attributes to the contacts that are already in the account so it does not import duplicates. I am loving it.

*For anyone that’s considering which email marketing service to use, sendinblue is a great option, still a newbie but have been very impressed with their customer support, replied with efficiency and detailed guidelines even with video instructions.

Hello, thank you so much for creating this plugin. I installed it and tried to use the 'Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES’ call with the following Body JSON data. Capture d’écran 2020-09-02 à 17.18.19

When I’m running the workflow, I end up having the following “Error 400” an error message. Capture d’écran 2020-09-02 à 17.20.32

Any idea what I might have done wrong? Thanks! Lucie!

talkingoldfish · 2020-09-02T19:44:05.431Z

Hi Lucie,

Yes it looks like this could be because of the speech marks " after the “NOM” line are not straight after Input Last Name’s value, try creating it like below:

sendinblue20200902

I have just tested this as working so this should work for you.

Any issues let me know!

Thank you for your quick reply. It works perfectly now. Thank you!

Christophe_HK · 2020-10-14T19:36:05.364Z

Yeah, sendinblue is really not permissive in terms of json syntax!

Hey! Thanks for such a great tool!

I am launching a pre-launch wait list and I am trying to use your plugin it to add the emails that sign up to my list of contacts in SendinBlue.

I am creating an automation in SendinBlue because I want people to receive a Welcome email automatically as soon as they are added to the contact list with your plugin.

I have created a template for the welcome email, the problem is that I need to add some custom links to the template using dynamic variables, for example: “WELCOME NEW USER, CLICK HERE TO CHECK YOUR PERSONAL PAGE” (this HERE is a custom link that should take the user to [[link1]] which is a dynamic variable that is calculated in Bubble, it is not a value stored in SendinBlue).

I did this succesfully with the Sendgrid plugin but I am leaving Sendgrid because Outlook and Hotmail are blocking my emails (they dont even go to the spam folder).

Any ideas on how can I do this with SendinBlue and your plugin? PLEASE, MY WELCOME EMAILS ARE BROKEN RIGHT NOW

talkingoldfish · 2021-02-03T15:55:21.077Z

Hi, no probs, glad it helps (or will help!)

Yes, this is something you could do with a combination of my plugin and the free ‘Sendinblue SMTP’ plugin developed by Zeroqode.

You would add a workflow with actions to create the contact using my plugin and then, once created, send an email to the new contact’s email address using the Zeroqode plugin.

thank you!

I was wondering… if I am using the “Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES” how/where should I indicate which is the ID of the list where I want the contacts to be added? @talkingoldfish

pachocastillosr · 2021-02-05T22:43:53.456Z

Hello,

Anybody knows if I am using the “Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES” how/where should I indicate which is the ID of the list of contacts in SendinBlue where I want the contacts to be added? @lucie @emmawu1021

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks!

Francisco.

Hello Francisco,

I tried a few things and I think I found an acceptable solution for you.

You’ll need to create 2 steps:

Create a first step with "Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES”
→ in this step, put all your attributes - cf screenshot “step 1” below

step1944×1062 88.5 KB

Create a second step with “Create and update contact”
→ in this step, only put the email and your list ID - cf screenshot “step 2” below

step2788×988 60.5 KB

You should see that your contact is created (and there is no duplicate) with the right attributes and is registered to the right list.

Note that before I found this solution I tried to only use “Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES” but didn’t succeed to make it work.

Feel free to reach out again if needed

Best,

Lucie

@lucie wow! It worked, nice work around Lucie! Thanks, you are very kind!

bubble12 · 2022-02-13T17:20:23.335Z

Thanks for the very creative tip, Lucie.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

And of course thanks to @talkingoldfish who created this awesome plugin to begin with!

You’re welcome, glad it helped!

Hey,

Is there a way to remove a contact from a list, for example if they decide to unsubscribe through our app?

I have different list for different purposes. For example, I have a list

All User
Subscribed User
Subscribed Sellers

Now, if a user decides to unsubscribe, I want to remove him from the Subscribed Users list but keep him in the All User’s list in case I need to send an important email such as updated Terms and Conditions.

How can I achieve this?

Thank you,

Mac

mac.mehani · 2022-05-05T03:36:46.124Z

Hi @lucie,

I have different lists:
1- Subscribed Users
2- Subscribed Sellers
3- All Users (people who don’t subscribe)

I tried your solution to add a user in different lists but I keep getting “John Doe” in as first name and last name in both lists (all users and subscribed users) even though I put the user’s name in the Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES action in both Lists.

Would you know why?

Thank you,

Mac

Hi @stuart.leo , thanks for the plugin. Really helpful!

I want / have to set-up my accounts gdpr-conform, as I am in Europe. Any chance that this sign-up flow also works with your plugin? Create Contact via DOI (Double-Opt-In) Flow

I first thought it could be done with “Sendinblue Contacts - Create and update contact WITH CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES”. However I guess it just does a a regular “createcontact” and not a “createDOIcontact”.

If this is not possible through your plugin. What would you recommend using the bubble API connector and doing it manually?

Thanks in advance!

andaoncsi · 2022-08-10T22:11:09.547Z

Hello,@ Kai_sdl I have the solution in a plugin that I have built from sendiblue. These are the available functions:
-Get all contacts

Create a contact
Update a contact
-Get all contact lists
-Delete a contact
-Send an email+attachment
-Send an email
-Create an email template
-Update email template
-Send EMAIL + TEMPLATE
In version 2 the following functions were added:
-Send a template to your test list
-Create contact through DOI flow (Double-Opt-In)
-List all attributes
-Delete an inactive email template
-Send email batches+templates/different versions
-List all attributes
-Create email campaigns
-Update campaigns
-Campaign report
