Route Transactional Email Through Mailgun From Brevo

Neotask splits your email by type so time-sensitive transactional sends go through Mailgun while Brevo handles all your marketing campaigns.

Split Email Infrastructure

Transactional emails use Mailgun delivery while marketing campaigns stay inside Brevo where they belong.

Unified Bounce Management

Hard bounces from Mailgun sync back to Brevo contacts so your lists stay clean across both platforms.

Pre-Send List Validation

Validate new Brevo contacts through Mailgun before your next campaign to protect sender reputation.

What You Can Automate

Transactional Email Routing

Order confirmations and password resets route through Mailgun automatically while Brevo handles newsletter sends.

Delivery Rate Monitoring

Pull Mailgun delivery events and update Brevo contact records with deliverability status for each address.

Hard Bounce List Sync

When Mailgun reports a hard bounce, Neotask removes or tags the matching contact in Brevo immediately.

Contact List Validation

Validate every new Brevo subscriber through Mailgun before they enter an active campaign sequence.

Cross-Platform Delivery Comparison

Compare open and delivery rates between Brevo and Mailgun sends to identify which infrastructure performs better.

Re-Engagement Campaign Routing

Send re-engagement emails to dormant Brevo contacts through Mailgun to keep marketing sender scores separate.

How It Works

Step 1

Tell Neotask how to route your emails - for example, 'Route order confirmations through Mailgun, keep newsletters in Brevo'

Step 2

Neotask connects to both APIs and sets up routing logic so each email type goes to the right platform based on its trigger or category

Step 3

Mailgun handles transactional delivery while Brevo manages marketing sends, and Neotask syncs bounce data between them to keep contacts clean

Brevo and Mailgun: Right Email, Right Infrastructure

Not all emails should travel the same path. Marketing campaigns and transactional messages have different delivery requirements, different compliance implications, and different sender reputation considerations. Routing everything through one platform means your newsletter bounce rate can hurt your transactional delivery - and vice versa.

Neotask connects Brevo and Mailgun so each type of email uses the infrastructure best suited to it.

What You Can Automate

Transactional routing handles time-sensitive system emails. When your application triggers an order confirmation, password reset, or account alert, Neotask routes that through Mailgun's delivery API. Marketing campaigns - newsletters, product announcements, drip sequences - stay inside Brevo where segmentation and design tools live.

Bounce synchronization keeps lists consistent. Mailgun tracks hard bounces from transactional sends. Neotask pulls those bounce events and removes or suppresses the matching contacts in Brevo so your marketing list does not accumulate bad addresses from transactional traffic.

Pre-campaign validation reduces risk. Before a large Brevo send, Neotask can validate the contact list through Mailgun's email verification API, filtering out addresses likely to bounce before they affect your sender score.

Why Separate Infrastructure Matters

Transactional emails are high-priority and time-sensitive - a delayed password reset costs you a user. Marketing emails are high-volume and tolerance for slight delays is higher. Mixing them on one sending domain means a bad marketing batch can delay critical transactional sends. Splitting delivery by purpose isolates the risk.

Pro Tips

Tip

Use separate sending domains for Mailgun transactional and Brevo marketing sends to fully isolate their sender reputations.

Tip

Run a Mailgun validation pass on your Brevo list quarterly to catch stale addresses before they hurt deliverability.

Tip

Log Mailgun event webhook data to a database so you can track long-term deliverability trends by contact segment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Neotask know which emails to route through Mailgun versus Brevo?

You define the routing rules in plain language - for example, 'all order and account emails go through Mailgun, all newsletters stay in Brevo' - and Neotask applies them.

Will bounce data sync in real time or on a schedule?

Neotask can sync bounce data on a schedule you define - hourly, daily, or triggered manually. Real-time sync depends on Mailgun webhook availability.

Does this require changes to my application code?

Not for list management and validation tasks. For routing application-triggered emails through Mailgun, you would point your app at Mailgun's SMTP or API instead of Brevo.

Can Neotask validate contacts before a specific Brevo campaign?

Yes. Tell Neotask which Brevo list and campaign to validate before sending, and it will run the addresses through Mailgun's verification API and filter out risky ones.

What counts as a hard bounce for sync purposes?

Mailgun classifies hard bounces as permanent delivery failures - invalid addresses, non-existent domains, or explicit rejections. Soft bounces like full mailboxes are excluded by default.
