šŸ“§ Sendinblue SMTP A free alternative to Sendgrid mails by Reduble.com

Hi @thomas.gounot. Apologies for the late reply.

The situation is that the Sendinblue plugin does not allow you to send images as dynamic values. You can only send the image URL via the dynamic value and the setup will be the following:
setup, template, email.

So you don’t need to put something into the workflow because the plugin will not recognize that Sendinblue {{item.image}} field.

I’d like to recommend you read this Sendinblue article if you’d like to personalize your template with some dynamic images:

I hope it helps :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport,

Thank you for your answer :slightly_smiling_face:

I found a solution which seems to work. For those who might be interested, here is the solution :

  1. Sendinblue :

  2. Bubble editor :

  3. Email :

Best,

Hello @ZeroqodeSupport! I want to send a transactional email with a dynamic list of products. Sendinblue documentation points that it’s possible to do so, however I am not sure how to pass a List of Things via your plugin?

E.g. I can pass individual product attributes: Product1Name, Product2Name, Product3Name. But not a dynamics list of products from Bubble. Could you point what is the best way to do this?

Thanks
Armen

Hello, @armen.a.karapetyan.
Apologies for such a late reply :pray:

Can you please show me an example of what exact dynamic list of products you’d like to send via the plugin? Is this list saved in your bubble database? Any details will be much appreciated :pray:

This plugin has a ā€œsend a Template Bā€ action, where you can send multiple dynamic values, that are saved in your database. I presume it can fit your needs, but to be sure, I need more information on your use case to provide you with the relevant info:

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport,
I have chosen this plugin & Sendinblue after having read terrible things about Sendgrid on this forum.
I have tested it first with a forgotten password workflow - one email flagged in Gmail and the other in Spam on Outlook. Not ideal, but at least the emails go somewhere.
I have then tested a backend workflow with 3 dynamic values.
I have tested it 8 times. Two emails have been ā€œ1st openedā€ (apparently that means that the email provider’s anti spam has blocked the email) , 6 are lost in nature, they don’t appear on SendinBlue at all.
I have contacted them and they told me to sign my DKIM, which I have done but the emails still don’t leave.
I don’t know where does the problem comes from, I have contacted them but they are not of any help …
This is the backend workflow, maybe I have done something wrong here ?

@marie,

Apologies for the late reply :pray:

Would you kindly check 2 things:

  1. create a front-end workflow with the same data and check if all sent emails are received;
  2. add additional pauses between actions (before the send email action), because, probably, the email server does not have time to proceed with the data and send the email.

Please check and let me know the result. Then our dev team will have more details on your request and the ability to investigate it.

Hey @ZeroqodeSupport, we received an email from Sendinblue that the v3 SMTP endpoint is being depreciated. Does this effect the plugin? Will the plugin be updated with the new SMTP endpoint?

Hello @hellosoundsurge

Thanks for reaching out and notifying us. We will take a look at changes and provide updates as soon as possible.
Thanks for understanding :pray:

Hey @ZeroqodeSupport any news? The old API will stop working today…
Thanks

Hello @yonimn @hellosoundsurge

Thanks for reaching out. Sorry for the late reply, but yes the plugin was updated already with the latest changes in the API endpoint. :pray:
Upgrade the plugin to the latest version, refresh the application, adjust the workflow accordingly, and give it a try.

Please check out the documentation - https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/sendinblue-smtp-plugin#introduction

Hello;
I just added this plug in so that I may send emails from my app.
It works pretty well out of the gate. But when I look at emails in Thunderbird, I have the ā€˜correspondents’ field show the plug-in maker and I do not see where to fix this.
Does anyone know how to change this?

See my setup, and the email’s in Thunderbird:

Hey I figured this out on my own, if the to_name field refers to a null like mine did, the plugin inserts ā€œzerocodeā€ in that field. Or at least it does in my case.

Thanks

Is it possible to send an email to a list of users with this plug in and service?

@ratsoundsystems,

Nope, unfortunately. This plugin does not allow sending emails to a list of users. Apologies for the inconvenience.

@ZeroqodeSupport hey! Thank you for this awesome plug in!

I am trying to add dynamic values to hyperlinks in my SendinBlue template, is this possible? It is not working for me.

SendinBlue template

Plugin parameters
Untitled

Any help would be very appreciated!

@ZeroqodeSupport also I wanted to report that the plugin is not pulling the senders name that is on the SendinBlue template setup. What can I do to modify my senders name?

Hi @pachocastillosr , thanks for your appreciation.

Please find below the reply to your questions:
Q1: It is possible to add dynamic values to hyperlinks in the SendinBlue template?
R1: Sure thing, following your screenshot, you’ve made right almost everything. You just need to indicate right the added params from a template. Please find available examples on the documentation page: SendinBlue SMTP Plugin - Zeroqode, namely the compartment ā€œ4. Send SMTP Mail + Templateā€.
Please make sure you are following the correct parameter formats also, it is important - {{ params.lreferido }}.

Q2: The plugin is not pulling the sender’s name that is on the SendinBlue template setup. What can I do to modify my sender’s name?
R2: The plugin is reacting on the param key-words in your template. For example, if you add the {{name}} parameter into your Sendinblue template. and on the bubble app side will indicate the value for this parameter {ā€œnameā€: ā€œCurrent user’s nameā€} - it will work for sure.

Please make sure you are following our documentation standard and check Sendinblue docs as well:
https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/sendinblue-smtp-plugin
Using Sendinblue’s New Template Language to create email templates and campaigns [NEW] – Sendinblue

Hope it helps.

Hey! Thanks for your help!

I am still having trouble with the sender name, I think that I didn’t explain myself clearly. This is the senders name that I am talking about (the highlighted text should be the name that people see when they receive my email).

However, people receive this name instead:

This are my plugin parameters:

The template ID is correct (#2).

Any help would be great!

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport,
I have just updated the plugin, and now I have two issues:
1/ on one workflow, I seem to have the same issue as @theo.voglimacci1


2/ on another workflow, the email is sent, but without the parameters.
What did I do wrong ?
Hope you can help me !

EDIT: found the answer for 2/: parameters now have to be formatted this way {{params.name}} for a name instead of %name%

Still need some help for my first problem, though !
