You can use your PostHog event data to create and update contacts in Brevo. Here's everything you need to get started.
Requirements
Using this requires either PostHog Cloud with the data pipelines add-on, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running a recent version of the Docker image.
Configuring Brevo
First, create a new API key in Brevo and copy it for the next step.
Configuring PostHog’s Brevo destination
- In PostHog, click the Data pipeline tab in the left sidebar.
- Click the Destinations tab.
- Click New destination and choose Brevo's Create button.
Paste your API key and then add any other values you want to pipe from PostHog person properties into Brevo, using the attributes fields.
Filtering
At a minimum, you should filter to only send events that have an email property set, as Brevo will use this to identify contacts.
Testing
Once you’ve configured your Brevo destination, click Start testing to verify everything works the way you want. Clicking Test function will send a test event to Brevo, creating a new contact if it doesn't exist in your account.
