|---|---|---|
| Yes | ||
| Name | FIRSTNAME | No (configurable) |

Troubleshooting
Invalid API Key Error
If you see “Please check your API key”:
- Make sure you’re using the REST API key (starts with
xkeysib-), not SMTP credentials - Copy the key again—ensure no extra spaces were added
- Check if IP whitelisting is enabled in Brevo Settings > Security > Authorized IPs
- Verify the API key hasn’t been revoked
No Lists Showing
If no lists appear when fetching:
- Log into Brevo and verify you have at least one list created
- Go to Contacts > Lists in Brevo to create a list
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting with a fresh API key
Contacts Not Appearing
If contacts don’t appear in your list:
- Check that the integration is still connected (green badge showing)
- Verify the correct list is selected
- Look in Brevo’s Contacts section—contacts may appear there even if not yet in your selected list
- Check Brevo’s Logs section for any sync errors
IP Whitelisting Issues
If you have IP whitelisting enabled in Brevo:
- The API may reject requests from Viraly’s servers
- Either disable IP whitelisting or contact support for Viraly’s IP addresses to whitelist
