Brevo (email) — Connect it to MokonyxSocial

Details
Category: MokonyxSocial
  • Applicable Software: MokonyxSocial
  • Min Version Number: 01.03.00 and later
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

Connect Brevo (the platform formerly called Sendinblue) and MokonyxSocial will send your content out as an email campaign to a contact list through the Brevo v3 API. Just so you know, this one's an email connector rather than a social feed — your readers get the Joomla content in their inbox, and how much you can send depends on your Brevo plan's quota.

What you need

  • A Brevo account (https://www.brevo.com/).
  • A verified sender email or domain in Brevo.
  • A v3 API key that can create and send campaigns.
  • Optionally, the numeric ID of the list you want to email.

Get your credentials

API key api_key (required)

This key is what lets MokonyxSocial talk to Brevo. To make one, sign in, click your account name in the top-right and pick SMTP & API (or jump straight to https://app.brevo.com/settings/keys/api). On the API Keys tab, hit Generate a new API key, name it something like "MokonyxSocial", and copy the value — it begins with xkeysib- and only appears once, so grab the whole thing.

List ID list_id (optional)

This is the numeric ID of the contact list that should get the campaign. Leave it out and we'll use your default. To find it, go to Contacts → Lists in Brevo (https://app.brevo.com/contact/list-listing), open your list, and note the ID shown in the details or URL. Just the number.

Set it up in MokonyxSocial

  1. In Joomla admin, go to Components → MokonyxSocial → Services → New.
  2. Choose Brevo.
  3. Enter the credentials above.
  4. Click Send Test to check it, then Save & Close and make sure it's Published.

Verify

After Send Test succeeds, look under Campaigns in your Brevo dashboard for the new campaign and confirm a test recipient got the email. Then publish a Joomla article and watch the campaign go out.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 Unauthorized? Your api_key is wrong or revoked — generate a fresh v3 key.
  • "Sender not valid"? You need a verified sender first — set one up under Senders in Brevo.
  • "List does not exist"? Check the list_id under Contacts → Lists.
  • Campaign created but nothing arrived? Check your plan's daily send limit and your account's standing.

Notes & limits

  • Your Brevo plan's quota caps how much you can send (free plans are pretty low).
  • You must verify a sender before anything will go out.
  • Email HTML supports rich formatting; keep images on absolute public URLs.
  • Brevo adds a required unsubscribe link so recipients can opt out.
