FAQ

Questions about Create Contact.

What does the Create Contact action do in Brevo?

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.

What inputs does Create Contact require?

Required: Email. 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 Create Contact support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Contact inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Brevo's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
