Hey guys,
I’m using this automation, but it doesn’t work. I can confirm that it works when I execute it manually, but the automation itself is not working. Do you have any idea?
Also, can I ask you how I can send an email via Brevo to all current subscribers (I have only 1 list), because in the “TO” field I can only add email address manually? I can’t map the list from Brevo. Thank you in advance!
Hi @Z_Z,
Welcome! Can you share some more info about your scenario and where you get stuck? Screenshots, blueprints and screen recordings are very helpful.
The Brevo app only has the option to send transactional emails, which by definition is not the same as a campaign that you would send to subscribers. If you want to send a bulk email, you should create an email campaign first and then send it via: Send an email campaign immediately, based on campaignId
Or use this batch email endpoint: Send an email campaign immediately, based on campaignId
Cheers,
Henk
Hey there Henk!
OK, no problem - we can use the batch email endpoint. Do you have a suggestion on how to do this in Make?
As to the automation - is not working at all. I create a blog post, I publish the post and then the automation is not activated. I recorded a video. Could you please help me with this?

Looking forward to hear back from you, Henk!
Hi @Z_Z,
The scenario is not automatically started, because the trigger remodel is not an instant trigger like a webhook is. It ‘Watches Posts’, but only when the scenario is executed, like a polling trigger. You can execute the scenario manually or on the interval you scheduled the scenario on.
Here is more information on the types of modules: Types of modules - Help Center
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Henk
Hey again Henk,
Even though I set up a trigger, the automation is not working - there’s a blog post, but is not working. Could you please help?
The scenario will only fetch the blog posts when the scenario is run, that is the way a polling trigger works. It is not instant.
But still not wokring, even if it’s not instsant, that’s what I’m trying to explain here.
Did the video not show that you created a test blog post and that you fetched it when you started the scenario manually? Maybe I do not understand what you mean to happen, can you clarify what is not working?
Yes, it fetched the blog post, but there’s no email sent by Brevo.
ah ok, so the automation IS activated. But it doesn’t do what you expect.
I see you clicked ‘run once’ and it fetched the post. Then the trigger stores the last updated/created date of that post and if you run it again, it wil fetch all the posts FROM that date. So the same post is never fetched twice. So in the second run, it doesn’t find any post and because of that doesn’t process any bundles in Brevo.
Try choose were to start to reset the FROM date and run the scenario (in full) again:
What do I need to select for that DATE?
The date FROM which you want to fetch new blog posts. You can set a date and time
I don’t understand….The whole idea of the automation is to fetch new blog posts automatically, not to select a date to fetch blog posts from. Can you elaborate on this?
A polling trigger with fetch new post each time te scenario runs, instead of instantly. It is still automatic, only you set the interval of the scheduling yourself.
I advice to read about the different triggers and to follow the Make academy:
Cheers,
Henk
