| Where | What you need |
|---|---|
| In Brevo | A Brevo account with access to SMTP & API — available even on the free plan, no card required. For transactional email sending to actually work you also need a verified sender or an authenticated domain in your Brevo account (section 3). |
| In Platform | Admin role to connect, activate actions or disconnect. Editor and Viewer roles can only see the connection status. |
Note — No external authorization process
Brevo doesn’t require any review or approval process to generate an API key: you generate it yourself, in your own account, and paste it into Platform. No waiting.
