## Why Discord Communities Need an Email List Discord is a great place to build a community, but you don't own it. If the platform goes down, your bot gets rate-limited, or a member disables notifications, you lose that connection. **An email list is the only audience you fully control.** The problem is that Discord doesn't give you member emails. There's no export button, no built-in way to collect them. Community managers have tried everything from manual Google Forms to sketchy scraping tools, and none of it scales or feels right for participants. Giveaways solve this naturally. When someone enters a giveaway, they're already motivated to complete tasks. Adding an **email collection step** feels like part of the flow, not an intrusion. Participants give their email willingly because they want to win. You get a growing contact list of people who are genuinely engaged with your community. The missing piece was always the sync. Collecting emails in a giveaway dashboard is useful, but manually copying them into your marketing tool every week is not. That's what the Brevo integration fixes. --- ## What the Brevo Integration Does ScopliDrop now connects directly to [Brevo](https://www.brevo.com/) (formerly Sendinblue), so every email collected during a giveaway entry is **automatically synced to your Brevo contact lists**. No exports, no Zapier, no manual work. Here's what happens behind the scenes when a participant submits their entry: 1. The participant completes a task that collects an email (either the built-in "Collect Email" task or a custom task with an email field). 2. ScopliDrop reads the task's Brevo sync settings: which list to add the contact to and which fields to include. 3. The email, Discord username, Discord user ID, and any custom fields you've marked for sync are sent to Brevo's API. 4. The contact appears in your chosen Brevo list with all attributes populated. This entire process is **fire-and-forget**. It happens in the background after the entry is submitted. If Brevo is temporarily unreachable or your API key expires, the giveaway entry still goes through normally. Email sync never blocks or delays participation. The Brevo integration is a **Business plan** feature. Once a server is activated by a Business subscriber, all users with dashboard access can configure and use the integration. --- ## How to Set Up Brevo on ScopliDrop Log in to your [Brevo account](https://app.brevo.com/) and go to **Settings > SMTP & API > API Keys** ([direct link](https://app.brevo.com/settings/keys/api)). Click **Generate a new API key**, give it a name like "ScopliDrop," and copy the key. It starts with `xkeysib-`. Go to your [server dashboard](https://www.scoplidrop.com/servers), select the server you want to connect, and click **Integrations** in the sidebar. Paste your Brevo API key in the input field and click **Connect**. ScopliDrop validates the key with Brevo before saving it. If the key is valid, the status badge switches to "Connected" and your key is encrypted and stored securely. Once connected, a dropdown appears with all your Brevo contact lists. Select the list where you want new contacts to land by default. You can override this per giveaway task later. That's the full setup. Your API key is encrypted with **AES-256-GCM** before it touches the database. ScopliDrop never stores or displays the raw key after you connect. If you need to change it, click **Replace** to enter a new one, or click the trash icon to disconnect entirely. Brevo's [free plan](https://www.brevo.com/pricing/) includes up to 100,000 contacts and 300 emails per day. You don't need a paid Brevo account to use this integration for contact syncing. --- ## Collecting Emails in a Giveaway To collect emails from Discord members, add an email collection task to a giveaway. When participants enter, they submit their email as part of the entry flow. This works because members are already motivated to complete tasks for a chance to win, so opt-in rates are naturally high compared to standalone signup forms. There are two ways to collect emails that sync to Brevo: the built-in **Collect Email** task and **custom tasks** with email fields. Both support the same Brevo sync toggle. ### Option 1: The Collect Email Task The simplest path. Add the "Collect Email" task to your giveaway template. It shows participants a single email input with built-in validation. To enable Brevo sync, open the task's settings in the template builder. You'll see an **Integrations** section with a "Sync to Brevo" toggle and the Brevo logo. Turn it on, optionally pick a specific list (or leave it on the server default), and you're done. Every email collected by this task will be synced automatically. ### Option 2: Custom Tasks With Email Fields If you're already using [custom tasks](https://www.scoplidrop.com/blog/scoplidrop-custom-tasks-guide) to collect data from participants, you can sync those fields to Brevo too. This is more flexible because you control exactly which fields get synced and which stay local. When you add an **email-type field** to a custom task, that field becomes the contact's primary email in Brevo. Any other fields you add (text, URL) can be synced as **Brevo contact attributes**. Each field has its own Brevo toggle, so you choose exactly what gets sent. For example, a custom task called "Join our newsletter" could have: - An **email** field (becomes the Brevo contact email) - A **text** field labeled "First Name" (synced as a `FIRST_NAME` attribute in Brevo) - A **text** field labeled "Country" (synced as a `COUNTRY` attribute) Field labels are automatically converted to uppercase attribute names in Brevo. "First Name" becomes `FIRST_NAME`, "Favorite Game" becomes `FAVORITE_GAME`, and so on. If the attribute doesn't exist in your Brevo account yet, ScopliDrop creates it automatically. --- ## What Gets Synced to Brevo Every contact synced from a giveaway entry includes the email plus a set of attributes. Here's the full picture. | Data | Source | Brevo Field | Always Included | |------|--------|-------------|-----------------| | Email address | Email task or email-type custom field | Contact email (primary) | Yes (required) | | Discord username | Participant's Discord account | `DISCORD_USERNAME` attribute | Yes | | Discord user ID | Participant's Discord account | `DISCORD_USER_ID` attribute | Yes | | Custom text fields | Custom task fields with Brevo toggle on | Uppercase attribute (e.g., `FIRST_NAME`) | Only if toggled on | | Custom URL fields | Custom task fields with Brevo toggle on | Uppercase attribute (e.g., `PORTFOLIO_URL`) | Only if toggled on | **Discord username and user ID are always sent** alongside the email. This lets you identify which Discord member submitted which contact in Brevo, even if their email doesn't match their Discord identity. If a contact with the same email already exists in Brevo, their attributes are updated rather than creating a duplicate. This means a participant who enters multiple giveaways will have their latest Discord username and custom field values reflected in Brevo. ### List Override Per Task Each task with Brevo sync enabled can target a **specific Brevo list**, overriding the server default. This is useful when you run different types of giveaways for different audiences. For example, your server default list might be "General Newsletter," but a product launch giveaway could sync emails to a "Product Launch Leads" list. A community event giveaway could target an "Event Attendees" list. You configure this directly in the task's Integrations section in the template builder. --- --- ## Start Syncing Emails From Your Giveaways If you're already running giveaways on ScopliDrop, the Brevo integration turns every entry into a potential subscriber. Connect your API key in [Integrations settings](https://www.scoplidrop.com/servers), enable "Sync to Brevo" on any task that collects an email, and your contact list grows on autopilot. New to ScopliDrop? The [free tier](https://www.scoplidrop.com/pricing) includes 55+ built-in tasks. The Brevo integration and custom tasks are available on the [Business plan](https://www.scoplidrop.com/pricing).
