All you need to know about how to connect Sendinblue and WordPress ??

Sending and receiving emails from your WordPress site can be problematic. WordPress sends transactional emails via PHP mail by default, which can lead to many issues. Transactional emails are automated emails your site sends such as password resets, order confirmations, etc.

There are many solutions to this. You can:

  • Optimise your mail servers so your emails won’t end up in SPAM (Not recommended)
  • Use an SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. (Good idea but it can take more time to send)
  • Use an external sending service (Really good dea!)

Email marketing is a great way to connect with the customers you already have – whether you’re a blogger, e-commerce store, or a company with a site. However, with so many marketing tasks on your plate, adding regular newsletters might seem overwhelming.

Using WordPress it is not that easy to collect email subscribers and manage campaigns without a good plugin. Learn how to do it in Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to set up an email newsletter for your WordPress site using AcyMailing or Sendinblue’s plugin.
