How To Generate Your Free Sendinblue API Key
(For users who do not have a Sendinblue account)
Before that, please note that your Sendinblue free account will expire if you do not log in for 3 months. Thus, please remember to login to your Sendinblue account once every 3 months to keep your account active.
To sign up for a free account, head to Sendinblue’s website, sendinblue.com.
Click the Sign Up Free button on the top right corner of the page and follow the onscreen instructions to complete your account registration.
Once you’re logged in, click on your account name1 (located at the top right corner of the page) and select SMTP & API2 from the dropdown menu as shown below.
In the pop-up window, enter a name for your new API key (you can name it ‘First Key’). Then click the GENERATE button.
Then, head back to your WordPress dashboard and paste it into the Sendinblue API Key field in the PRO plugin settings page.
That’s it! This concludes the guide on how to set up this simple but effective plugin!
Bonus: Why We Choose Sendinblue
The following are the three main reasons why we choose to integrate with Sendinblue:
1. You can send up to 9,000 emails every month using their free plan.
2. You do not need to have a credit card to sign up for a Sendinblue account.
3. Sendinblue does not require you to verify your domain in order to use your account.
The only downside is that you’ll need to login to your Sendinblue account once every 3 months in order to to keep your account active.
If you did not login during the 90-day period, Sendinblue will send you a reminder 7 days before they delete your account (so it’s best to use an email that you check regularly).
The following table is a simple comparison of the major email service providers for your reference:
| No. of Free Emails | Need Credit Card? | Domain Verification | |
| Sendinblue | 9,000/month | No | Optional |
| MailGun | 5,000/month | Yes | No |
| SendGrid | 3,000/month | No | Yes |
| SendLayer | 500 | Yes | No |
