Brevo integration guide

Track Link + Brevo Integration

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) packs email, SMS, WhatsApp, and chat into one platform. Its native link analytics show clicks per email but lose detail past the URL level. Track Link short URLs inside Brevo campaigns and transactional templates add per-click geographic and device data.

Free plan: 10 links, 2.5K clicks/month, full analytics. No credit card required.

Why combine them

Why integrate Track Link with Brevo

  • Brevo's campaign reports surface total clicks per link but stop short of geographic or device breakdowns. Track Link captures both on every click.

  • Brevo supports transactional emails via API — Track Link short URLs work identically in transactional sends, giving you analytics on every order confirmation or password reset click.

  • Brevo SMS campaigns count every character. Track Link short URLs (~20 chars) leave more room for body copy than typical destination URLs (60-120 chars).

  • Brevo WhatsApp Business sends include links. Track Link short URLs in WhatsApp messages let you compare WhatsApp click rates against email and SMS in the same dashboard.

  • Brevo contact attributes (FNAME, EMAIL, custom fields) work in any URL. Pass contact_id as utm_content for per-recipient attribution in Track Link.

Step by step

How to set up the integration

A practical workflow for combining Track Link click data with Brevo.

1

Build a Track Link short URL per CTA

Use the Track Link builder. Set utm_source=brevo, utm_medium=email/sms/whatsapp (channel-specific), utm_campaign=<campaign name>, utm_content=<position>. Copy the short URL.

2

Paste into Brevo's editor

In the Brevo drag-and-drop campaign editor, click any link or button and replace its URL with your Track Link short URL. For transactional templates, edit the HTML directly and paste the short URL.

3

Pass contact attributes for attribution

Use Brevo's personalization syntax in your Track Link URL: https://gettrack.link/abc123?utm_content={{ contact.ID }}. Brevo substitutes the contact ID at send time; Track Link logs it as utm_content.

4

Validate across channels

Send test campaigns in each channel (email, SMS, WhatsApp) to your test account. Click each and verify Track Link Realtime shows the channel-specific utm_medium for each click.

Need to build tagged URLs first? Use the UTM builder or the tracking link generator. Verify redirects with the redirect checker.

Use cases

Common use cases

Real situations where pairing Track Link with Brevo pays off.

Multi-channel campaign reporting

Brevo lets you send the same campaign across email + SMS + WhatsApp. Different utm_medium per channel in Track Link reveals which channel drives the most engaged clicks per geo segment.

Transactional email attribution

Order confirmation emails are high-CTR. Replace destination URLs with Track Link short URLs to capture post-purchase engagement signals — useful for upsell sequencing.

WhatsApp Business optimisation

WhatsApp click rates vary wildly by message timing and geo. Track Link's per-click country breakdown reveals which timezones engage best with WhatsApp campaigns.
