If you’re looking to automate your email marketing on a Hostinger website, adding an autoresponder using Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is a smart move. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to set it up from scratch.
Step 1: Create Your Brevo Account
Go to Brevo’s website, click Sign Up, and register using your email or Google account. After verifying your identity via SMS, choose the free plan, which allows you to send up to 300 emails per day.
Step 2: Set Up Your First Automation
Once logged in:
- Click on Automation → Create Automation
- Choose a template (e.g., “Welcome Message”)
- Set the trigger: “When a contact is added to a list”
- Select your target list and timing delay
- Begin crafting your first email
You can customize the email using Brevo’s drag-and-drop editor. Insert personalized fields like the subscriber’s first name for better engagement.
Step 3: Create a Subscription Form
Navigate to Contacts → Forms, then choose between a popup, embedded, or full-page form.
- Customize the fields (name, email, etc.)
- Design the button and thank you page
- Set up a double opt-in confirmation email for deliverability
- Save and copy the embed code
Step 4: Embed the Form in Hostinger Website Builder
- Open your Hostinger Website Builder dashboard
- Navigate to the section where you want the form
- Add a new HTML element
- Paste the Brevo embed code
- Save and preview the site
Step 5: Test the Flow
After submitting the form, check for:
- A confirmation email

This ensures your automation is functioning properly.
