Brevo + Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Integration: Retarget Smarter with Automation
In today's marketing landscape, it’s about running smarter ads, not more ads. That’s exactly what Brevo’s integration with Meta (Facebook & Instagram) enables marketers to do.
Published by RenoEasy Marketing Edge
Introduction
By connecting your Brevo account with your Meta Business Suite, you can automatically sync contacts, create custom audiences, and trigger personalized retargeting campaigns across Facebook and Instagram — without juggling multiple dashboards.
This integration transforms your marketing approach from manual audience management to intelligent, automated engagement, where every ad you show feels personal and timely.
At RenoEasy Marketing Edge, we’ve tested the Brevo–Meta integration extensively to bring you this complete, step-by-step guide.
1. What Is the Brevo + Meta Integration?
Brevo’s Meta integration connects your email marketing data with Facebook and Instagram Ads Manager. This allows marketers to:
- Automatically sync contact lists from Brevo to Meta Custom Audiences.
- Retarget customers who opened or clicked emails.
- Run lookalike campaigns based on your best Brevo subscribers.
- Track ad performance and conversions inside Brevo.
“This integration bridges the gap between email automation and paid social retargeting — turning data into action.”
2. Why This Integration Matters
With privacy changes and cookie restrictions, brands are finding it harder to track and retarget users effectively. The Brevo + Meta connection solves this by:
- Using first-party data (your Brevo subscribers).
- Building custom audiences directly from your CRM.
- Running privacy-compliant retargeting campaigns.
When someone visits your website and signs up for your newsletter, Brevo automatically adds them to a synced Meta audience for retargeting. Later, if that user clicks an ad, their behavior is fed back into Brevo to adjust automation workflows — no manual uploads required.

4. How to Set Up the Integration (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Prepare Your Accounts
Log into your Brevo dashboard. Go to Integrations → Facebook Ads / Meta Ads. Ensure you have access to your Meta Business Manager and Facebook Page connected to an Ad Account.
Step 2: Connect Brevo to Meta
Click “Connect to Facebook” in Brevo. Log in with your Meta account credentials. Approve Brevo’s permissions to manage audiences and read ad data.
Step 3: Choose Contact Lists
Select which Brevo contact lists or segments you want to sync. Example: “Engaged Subscribers,” “Abandoned Cart Users,” or “New Leads.” Brevo will automatically push this data to Meta Custom Audiences and keep it synced daily.
Step 4: Create Retargeting Campaigns
In Meta Ads Manager, choose the synced audience from Brevo. Build a campaign — e.g., “Show promo ad to users who clicked last week’s newsletter.”
Step 5: Automate Follow-ups in Brevo
Create a workflow that automatically sends a follow-up email or WhatsApp message after a Meta ad engagement event. You can even set up cross-channel retargeting — if someone clicks your ad but doesn’t purchase, Brevo can send them a personalized discount email automatically.
5. Use Cases for Businesses

- Agencies: Sync client newsletters with Facebook ads for brand consistency.
- Service Providers: Retarget leads who clicked pricing emails but didn’t book.
