Brevo Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) email marketing operations through Composio's Brevo toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active Brevo connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit brevo
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit brevo
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Brevo authentication
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Manage Email Campaigns

When to use: User wants to list, review, or update email campaigns

Tool sequence:

1. BREVO_LIST_EMAIL_CAMPAIGNS - List all campaigns with filters [Required]
2. BREVO_UPDATE_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN - Update campaign content or settings [Optional]

Key parameters for listing:

• type: Campaign type ('classic' or 'trigger')
• status: Campaign status ('suspended', 'archive', 'sent', 'queued', 'draft', 'inProcess', 'inReview')
• startDate/endDate: Date range filter (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ format)
• statistics: Stats type to include ('globalStats', 'linksStats', 'statsByDomain')
• limit: Results per page (max 100, default 50)
• offset: Pagination offset
• sort: Sort order ('asc' or 'desc')
• excludeHtmlContent: Set true to reduce response size

Key parameters for update:

• campaign_id: Numeric campaign ID (required)
• name: Campaign name
• subject: Email subject line
• htmlContent: HTML email body (mutually exclusive with htmlUrl)
• htmlUrl: URL to HTML content
• sender: Sender object with name, email, or id
• recipients: Object with listIds and exclusionListIds
• scheduledAt: Scheduled send time (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ)

Pitfalls:

• startDate and endDate are mutually required; provide both or neither
• Date filters only work when status is not passed or set to 'sent'
• htmlContent and htmlUrl are mutually exclusive
• Campaign sender email must be a verified sender in Brevo
• A/B testing fields (subjectA, subjectB, splitRule, winnerCriteria) require abTesting: true
• scheduledAt uses full ISO 8601 format with timezone

2. Create and Manage Email Templates

When to use: User wants to create, edit, list, or delete email templates

Tool sequence:

1. BREVO_GET_ALL_EMAIL_TEMPLATES - List all templates [Required]
2. BREVO_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_EMAIL_TEMPLATE - Create a new template or update existing [Required]
3. BREVO_DELETE_EMAIL_TEMPLATE - Delete an inactive template [Optional]

Key parameters for listing:

• templateStatus: Filter active (true) or inactive (false) templates
• limit: Results per page (max 1000, default 50)
• offset: Pagination offset
• sort: Sort order ('asc' or 'desc')

• sender: Sender object with name and email, or id (required for creation)
• replyTo: Reply-to email address

• tag: Category tag for the template

Pitfalls:

• When templateId is provided, the tool updates; when omitted, it creates
• For creation, templateName, subject, and sender are required
• htmlContent must be at least 10 characters
• Template personalization uses {{contact.ATTRIBUTE}} syntax
• Only inactive templates can be deleted
• htmlContent and htmlUrl are mutually exclusive

3. Manage Senders

When to use: User wants to view authorized sender identities

Tool sequence:

1. BREVO_GET_ALL_SENDERS - List all verified senders [Required]

Key parameters: (none required)

Pitfalls:
