Brevo Consulting & Implementation

Brevo That Works
Across Every Channel You Need.

Brevo gives growing businesses a rare combination — enterprise-grade email deliverability, SMS, WhatsApp marketing, transactional email API, and built-in CRM at a price that scales with contact count, not sending volume. We configure, integrate, and optimise the full Brevo platform so every channel is properly set up, properly connected, and properly measured.

Brevo Platform Gaps

How Much of Brevo Most Accounts Actually Use

Brevo is feature-rich — but most accounts use a fraction of the platform. Each card shows typical usage vs what we unlock. The gap is where your value is sitting uncaptured.

Email Marketing

Most accounts use Brevo for basic newsletter sends. Segmentation, A/B testing, dynamic content, send-time optimisation, and engagement-based suppression are rarely configured.

Typical setup
20%
After Rackwave
85%
Marketing Automation

Brevo's automation builder supports complex multi-condition workflows — but most accounts run one or two basic triggers. Behaviour-based branching, lead scoring, and cross-channel automation remain unused.

Typical setup
15%
After Rackwave
80%
Transactional Email

Brevo's SMTP/API for transactional email is highly reliable — but most implementations use default templates, shared IPs, and no deliverability monitoring. Dedicated IP, domain setup, and bounce management are absent.

Typical setup
30%
After Rackwave
90%
SMS & WhatsApp

Most Brevo accounts have SMS and WhatsApp available but never activate them — or send without consent management, quiet hours, or the opt-out handling required for compliance.

Typical setup
8%
After Rackwave
70%
Built-in CRM & Pipeline

Brevo's CRM is underused even when it is the primary CRM. Deal stages, custom properties, pipeline automation, and the activity logging that connects marketing to sales are rarely configured.

Typical setup
12%
After Rackwave
65%
Reporting & Attribution

Brevo reporting stays at open rate and click rate. Campaign-to-revenue attribution, automation analytics, and the custom dashboards that show marketing's contribution to business outcomes are almost never set up.

Automation Recipes

Four Brevo Automation Workflows We Build

Every Brevo automation starts with a trigger event and ends with a measurable business outcome. These are four of the highest-performing automation recipes we implement — shown as step-by-step workflow sequences.

Ecommerce
Post-Purchase & Retention Flow

Triggered by a completed order, this flow builds the customer relationship across 30 days — from thank-you and product tips through cross-sell recommendation and review request. SMS used for shipping update only; email for content.

Order placed Thank-you email (1h) → Shipping SMS (dispatch) → Product tips email (day 3) → Cross-sell email (day 7) → Review request (day 14)
EmailSMSShopify triggerRevenue attribution
B2B / SaaS
Trial Onboarding & Activation

Activated when a user starts a free trial, this workflow guides them through activation milestones — using in-app event triggers to personalise which emails each user receives based on what they have (and have not) done in the product.

Trial started Welcome email (Day 0) → Feature tip if inactive (Day 2) → Milestone reached? Branch → Upsell (activated) → Help email (not activated)
EmailIn-app event triggersCRM deal creationLead scoring
Multi-channel
Lead Nurture & MQL Routing

Triggered by a content download or form submission, this workflow qualifies leads through a scored nurture sequence — routing hot leads to the CRM pipeline and sales team when score threshold is reached, recycling cold leads back to nurture.

Form submitted Welcome email (5 min) → Nurture sequence (Days 2-14) → Score threshold check → MQL: CRM deal created → Cold: re-entry nurture
EmailLead scoringCRM integrationSales alert SMS
Ecom / B2C
Abandoned Cart + Browse Recovery

Two connected workflows — browse abandonment (product viewed, no cart add) and cart abandonment (added to cart, no checkout). Both use email for primary contact and SMS for the high-urgency final step on cart abandonment.

Browse/cart event Email (1h) → Reminder email (24h) → Cart only: SMS (72h) → Purchased? Exit → No purchase: sunset

What Brevo Clients Say

Feedback from Marketing Managers, SaaS founders, and ecommerce directors who trusted us to transform their Brevo programmes.

Transactional Email
SaaS Platform
★★★★★
“

Our transactional emails — activation, password reset, billing — were going to spam for 18% of users. Rackwave set up a dedicated sending domain, fixed our DKIM, implemented a warm-up plan, and cleaned our suppression list. Inbox placement went from 82% to 97.8% in 5 weeks. The user activation rate we had attributed to our onboarding flow actually improved 12% — it was always fine, the emails just weren't reaching people.

“

We switched to Brevo from a more expensive platform and Rackwave set up everything properly — email, SMS, and WhatsApp for our Indian market where WhatsApp outperforms email for promotional messages. Our WhatsApp campaign for Diwali sale achieved 68% click rate. We pay 40% less than our previous platform and generate 30% more revenue per contact. The switch was entirely driven by Rackwave's ability to set it up correctly.

Full Brevo Implementation — Automation + Transactional + CRM

“

We were using three separate tools — one for transactional email, one for marketing automation, and a CRM that did not talk to either of them. Our monthly stack cost was £1,900 and the data fragmentation meant we could not personalise anything effectively. Rackwave moved us to Brevo and built the full implementation — transactional email with dedicated IP and custom domain, 12 automation workflows for our B2B SaaS lifecycle (trial, onboarding, nurture, expansion, renewal), and the Brevo CRM set up to replace our standalone tool. We now pay £380 per month for everything. The automation quality is better than what our previous tools delivered. Email-attributed pipeline contribution went from 8% to 31%. Rackwave did not just set up the platform — they redesigned our entire marketing ops workflow around it and documented everything so our team can maintain it independently.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Brevo consulting with Rackwave Technologies.

  • Is Brevo good for transactional email (API/SMTP)?

    Yes — Brevo's transactional email infrastructure is one of its strongest capabilities and a primary reason many businesses choose it. Brevo offers a REST API and SMTP relay for transactional sends, with reliable delivery infrastructure, real-time event webhooks (delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, spam), and detailed logs for debugging. The platform supports custom templates with dynamic variable injection using its own templating syntax or HTML. For volume transactional senders, Brevo offers dedicated IP addresses that you warm up to your specific sending domain — which gives you full control over sender reputation rather than sharing it with other senders on shared IPs. We configure the full transactional stack: dedicated IP, custom sending domain, SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, webhook integration to your application or analytics platform, and the monitoring setup that alerts you to delivery problems before they affect users.

  • How does Brevo compare to Mailchimp or Klaviyo?

    Brevo, Mailchimp, and Klaviyo serve different use cases. Brevo's key advantages are: all-in-one platform (email + SMS + WhatsApp + transactional + CRM in one account), pricing by email volume not contact count (making it cost-effective for large databases with low send frequency), and stronger transactional email capability than Mailchimp. Klaviyo is specifically optimised for ecommerce — its Shopify integration depth, product catalogue personalisation, and ecommerce-specific flow library make it the better choice for D2C brands focused on email/SMS retention revenue. Mailchimp is simpler and better for very small businesses who need basic campaigns without automation complexity. Brevo hits the sweet spot for mid-market businesses who need multi-channel capability, reasonable pricing, and more automation depth than Mailchimp offers.

  • Can Brevo handle WhatsApp marketing for India?

    Yes — WhatsApp marketing via Brevo's WhatsApp Business API integration is one of the most effective channels for the Indian market, where WhatsApp penetration exceeds 90% and open rates for WhatsApp Business messages reach 95-98%. We set up the WhatsApp Business API connection (via Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform), configure and submit template messages for Meta approval (promotional, transactional, and utility templates), build the opt-in capture workflow (required for WhatsApp marketing compliance), and integrate WhatsApp into Brevo automation workflows so messages are triggered by the same behavioural events that trigger email. We also handle DLT registration for SMS compliance in India (required for promotional and transactional SMS), which is a regulatory requirement most consultants are unfamiliar with.

  • Can you migrate us from Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign to Brevo?

    Yes. Migrations from Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Sendinblue (the former Brevo name), or other email platforms involve: contact and subscriber data export and import (with suppression lists preserved so you do not accidentally email unsubscribers), email template recreation in Brevo's design editor or HTML, automation workflow recreation (replicating the logic of your existing automations in Brevo's workflow builder), API integrations update (pointing your application's transactional email from the old SMTP/API to Brevo), and a parallel-running period where deliverability is established before switching all sends to Brevo. The most common migration risk is deliverability — a new sending domain needs to be warmed up before high-volume sends, so we design the migration schedule to build domain reputation before ramping to full send volume.

  • How do you set up Brevo for GDPR compliance?

    GDPR compliance in Brevo requires proper configuration of several components. Consent management: Brevo's forms and landing pages should be configured to capture explicit consent with clear descriptions of what subscribers are signing up for, and that consent data should be stored with timestamp and source. Double opt-in: for email marketing in the EU, we configure double opt-in (confirmation email before subscriber is added to marketing list). Suppression lists: unsubscribes, bounces, and spam complaints must be synced across all sending contexts — a subscriber unsubscribing from one list must not receive emails from other lists. Data retention: Brevo can be configured to automatically delete contacts after a defined period of inactivity. Right to erasure: we document the process for responding to deletion requests, which requires removing the contact from Brevo and any connected systems. For transactional email, separate legal basis (contract performance or legitimate interest) means transactional emails can be sent to opted-out contacts — but the systems must correctly identify which contacts have opted out of marketing vs transactional.
