Brevo contacts and lists

Load your Brevo contacts and lists into Excel or the web app, then act on them from the Actions pane. Each action writes one record, from your own click, and is confirmed before it runs.

Read your contacts

1. Insert a LinkyFlow query, choose Brevo, then the query Contacts, and run it: each row is a contact, with their email, their attributes, the lists they belong to, the lists they unsubscribed from, and whether they blocklisted email, SMS or WhatsApp.
2. Narrow it with Created Since or Modified Since (a UTC date-time such as 2026-11-01T00:00:00.000Z), List Ids or Segment ID, and set Sort to desc to read the latest first.
3. Choose Contact Attributes to see which attributes a contact may hold, standard and custom, with their type.

A blocklisted contact receives no campaign on that channel: it is their choice, and LinkyFlow shows it as Brevo states it.

Clean up a list

1. Choose the query Contact Lists: each row is a list, with its subscribers and its blocklisted contacts. Contact Folders and Lists of a Folder show how the lists are filed.
2. Choose Contacts of a List with the List ID to read: each row is a member.
3. On a Contact Lists row, open the Actions pane and choose Add Contacts to List. Give the contacts by their Emails, their Contact IDs separated by commas, or their External IDs — one of the three, 150 at most.
4. Remove Contacts from List takes them off a list the same way: they stay in the account.

Create Contact List, Update Contact List and Delete Contact List create, rename or move and delete a list; Create Contact Folder, Update Contact Folder and Delete Contact Folder do the same for a folder.

Add a contact with their consent

Create Contact by Double Opt-In, in the Actions pane, asks a person for their consent before they join your lists: give their Email, the Include List Ids they will join, the Template ID of your double opt-in template and the Redirection URL they land on once they click. Brevo emails them, and adds them only once they confirm.

Create Contact adds a contact at once, with their Attributes and the List Ids to put them on: add one this way only when you already hold their consent. Update Contact changes a contact, and Delete Contact removes them from the account.

Track an event, import or export

Track Event records a custom event on a contact — an Event Name, the contact by one of their identifiers, and the event's properties —; Events reads them back. Import Contacts and Export Contacts run in the background in Brevo: Background Processes shows where they stand.

In a cell

Each read is also an Excel function, among them =LF.brevo.contacts, =LF.brevo.contactLists and =LF.brevo.listContacts. A function reads; the actions run from the Actions pane. The Brevo connection reference prints each function with its arguments.

The Brevo Contacts & Lists dashboard of the Excel add-in puts ready-made counts over your latest 100 contacts, 50 lists and 50 segments: contacts, contacts blocklisted for email and for SMS, lists and segments.

From ChatGPT or Claude, an assistant can create or rename lists and take contacts off a list; creating or changing a contact and putting contacts on a list are previewed and run only once you confirm. The double opt-in, events, imports and exports stay in the Actions pane.
