Send events to Sendinblue using the RudderStack device mode.

3 minute read

RudderStack lets you send your event data to Sendinblue via device mode using the native web SDK.

Find the open source code for this destination in the GitHub repository.

Identify

You can use the identify call to identify the users who visited your website. You can also use it to trigger a workflow in Sendinblue, for example, adding all identified contacts to a list.

A sample identify call is shown below:

rudderanalytics.identify("1hKOmRA4el9", {
  email: "alex@example.com",
  firstName: "Alex",
  lastName: "Keener",
  phone: "+12025550146",
  payment: 2,
  age: 21,
  location: "USA",
});

The Sendinblue tracker writes the sib_cuid cookie on your domain to track the user activity. As a result, you can create only one contact per session in Sendinblue using the identify call and update the same contact in that session. To create a new contact, you must clear the sib_cuid cookie first or use a different browser.

Track

You can use the track call to capture user events along with their associated properties.

A sample track call is as shown below:

rudderanalytics.track(
  "Order Delivered", {
    orderId: "123",
    products: [{
        product_id: 1234,
        product_name: "Track Pants",

        price: 220,

        amount: 5,
        price: 1058,
      },
    ],
  }, {
    integrations: {
      All: true,
      sendinblue: {
        propertiesIdKey: "orderId",
      },
    },
  }
);
}

Supported mappings

The following table details the property mappings between RudderStack and Sendinblue:

RudderStack property	Sendinblue property	Data type
`event` Required	`event`	String
`context.traits`	`properties`	Object
`context.traits.firstName` `context.traits.firstname` `context.traits.first_name`	`properties.FIRSTNAME`	String

You can also send the user traits to Sendinblue via the track call by enabling the Send user traits in track call setting in the RudderStack dashboard.

Contact attributes

This section is applicable for the identify and track calls.

Sendinblue provides various contact attributes which you can use to personalize your communication with your contacts. You can find them in the Contact Attributes section in the Sendinblue dashboard where FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, and SMS are the default contact attributes.

You can also map the traits in RudderStack’s payload to Sendinblue’s contact attributes using the Map your traits to Sendinblue contact attributes setting in the RudderStack dashboard.

If a contact attribute is not present in Sendinblue but you send it in the identify call’s traits, it can be used only in the Automation app unless you add them as contact attributes.

For example, the following sample code will create (or update) the user alex@example.com with firstname Alex and lastname Keener, and create three properties (payment, age, and location) that can be used only in the Marketing Automation workflows unless you also add them as your contact attributes.

rudderanalytics.identify("1hKOmRA4el9", {
  email: "alex@example.com",
  firstName: "Alex",
  lastName: "Keener",
  payment: 2,
  age: 21,
  location: "USA",
});

Page

You can use the page call to send any page-related information to Sendinblue.

A sample page call is shown below:

rudderanalytics.page("Home")

Supported mappings

RudderStack property	Sendinblue property	Data type
