How do I add a Brevo contact to a list?
Short answer: Drop the "Brevo → Add Contact to List" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
List ID list_id | string | Required | List ID. Example: 2 |
Email Addresses emails | array | Required | List of contact emails to add to the list. Each email is a separate entry — do NOT comma-separate them inside one value. |
Sample request
{"list_id": "e.g. 2","emails": "[\"john@example.com\", \"jane@example.com\"]"}
Returns
{"contacts": {"failure": [],"success": ["john@example.com"]}}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Add Contact to List.
What does the Add Contact to List action do in Brevo?
Adds an existing contact to a specific Brevo list. If the contact isn't in the account, this fails — use Create Contact first or the upsert pattern. List membership drives campaign targeting.
What inputs does Add Contact to List require?
Required: List ID, Email Addresses. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Brevo returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Add Contact to List support batch operations?
Yes. Run Add Contact to List inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Brevo's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
More actions
Other Brevo actions.
Action
Create Contact
Creates or upserts (when updateEnabled=true) a contact with email, attributes, and initial list memberships. The base hook for "form submission → push to Brevo" sync workflows.
ActionDelete Contact
Hard-deletes the contact and history. Irreversible — for GDPR right-to-erasure compliance workflows. For soft removal that preserves engagement history, unsubscribe or move to a suppression list instead.
ActionGet Contact
Returns the contact by email or ID with all attributes and list memberships. The standard lookup for enrichment workflows or for resolving "is this email in Brevo already" before downstream decisions.
ActionList Contacts
Paginated contacts with filters by list, segment, modified date. For sync workflows that mirror Brevo into a warehouse, paginate with the modifiedSince filter to incrementally pull only touched records.
ActionList Brevo Lists
Returns every list in the connected account with name, contact count, folder. Useful for populating list-pickers at workflow setup or for inventorying audience structure.
ActionRemove Contact from List
Removes a contact from a specific list while preserving the contact record overall. Useful for "campaign ended → remove from the campaign list" lifecycle hygiene workflows.
