Questions

Can I use custom HTML templates in Brevo?

Import our HTML into Brevo's template editor. Menus and plan limits change, so check Brevo's current help center if a step looks different.

What are merge tags?

Merge tags are placeholders that your email platform fills in for each subscriber, such as their first name or the unsubscribe link. Each platform uses its own format. When you choose Brevo in Export for platform, we replace our generic placeholders with Brevo's tags.

Do I still need an unsubscribe link?

Yes. Marketing emails generally need a working unsubscribe link and your postal address. Tick "Add an unsubscribe link" on the Footer block and the export converts it to the right tag for your platform.

Are the templates free?

Yes. You can edit and export them for free, with no signup and no watermark.
