When connecting Salesforce to Brevo you have two options:
Use a Zapier connection which is universal but difficult to configure, maintain and can get expensive rather quickly. For each lead/contact added, field updated, lead/contact deleted or engagement created you'd need to set up an individual zap with multiple steps to ensure no duplicates are created and the information is synced with the right lead/contacts.
Use another 3rd party app to sync data which may be more expensive, only sync contacts one way or not sync engagement events.
Outfunnel's Salesforce-Brevo sync is designed for B2B companies who want 2 key things from a sales-marketing integration:
Keep sales and marketing leads/contacts in sync and
Automatically record marketing engagement in Salesforce for the salespeople to see.
With just a 10-minute, no-code setup your marketing can use the lead/contact lists defined in Salesforce for their campaigns and give sales full visibility into leads' engagement, so they can sell smarter.

How it works
(Coming soon) Bi-directional lead/contact sync. Make all leads/contacts or a subset(s) available on either platform along with your custom lead/contact and account fields and keep them in sync going forward.
Sync email engagement to your CRM. Give your sales team full context on email opens, clicks, unsubscribes, and more.
(Coming soon) Comprehensive field Mapping. Sync any default or custom field two-way or in a single direction so you always have the right information available in any app. If any data conflicts arise, you can easily select the conflict winner.
Deduplication built-in. Outfunnel creates links based on the email address and we'll automatically cross-reference leads/contacts to prevent duplicate entries. If a lead/contact already exists we'll simply link it. If it doesn't we'll create a new record.
Near instant data sync. Outfunnel syncs most data instantly and some within 2 hours.
Monitor sync status. Clear overview of the sync health which includes actionable error messages so you can fix them as they happen.
Historical sync. Sync all of your customer data, no matter when it was created. Outfunnel syncs not only new leads/contacts but also existing ones.
Transparent pricing. Each lead/contact that's part of the sync only counts once, regardless of how many updates get synced or to how many apps.
Reliable and secure data. Outfunnel uses advanced authentication methods, such as OAuth, and deploys encryption measures to make sure the data is secure in transit.

Set up engagement sync
Outfunnel supports recording engagement from Brevo single email campaigns. Unfortunately, automations and transactional emails are not supported as Brevo does not provide access to these via API. We recommend reaching out to Brevo to request this as a feature. If you've already set up a connection, skip to the second step.
1. Choose your apps
Head to App connector and select your apps.
2. Select the connection type
Click on Connect and choose Engagement sync as the connection type.
3. Select how events get recorded
Choose the events you'd like to sync (ie email opens, email clicks) and define how you’d like them to be recorded in your CRM – or simply use our default settings.
4. Limit the sync
Choose to sync all events or limit the syncing to a specific list or segment.
5. Set up field mapping
When Outfunnel syncs an engagement for a contact that does not yet exist in your CRM, a new contact can optionally be created with the defined field mapping. If you'd like to create a contact enable the option and map the desired fields.
6. Activate
Outfunnel records engagement from emails that have been sent after activating the connection. Data syncs instantly once the engagement occurs.
💡 Things to keep in mind
Unsubscribe recording. Outfunnel only records end-user initiated unsubscribes in Salesforce and manual unsubscribes in Brevo are not recorded.
The campaign must be sent to a list. If a campaign is sent to a Brevo segment then the engagements are not recorded.
First unique URL click per email per lead/contact is recorded. Outfunnel records the first unique URL click per email per lead/contact. For example, if a lead/contact clicks 2 unique URLs, 3 times each then two click activities get created in your CRM.
Activities in the CRM. Email activities are linked to a lead/contact, account, and the oldest open opportunity.
