12 Best Email Marketing Tools for Bubble Apps

14 min read

You built your app with Bubble because you wanted complex web applications without code limits. The platform handles ambitious projects that other no-code tools cannot. Now you need email that matches Bubble's capability for sophisticated workflows.

Bubble's plugin ecosystem includes email tools, but most lack marketing automation. Basic send-email plugins handle transactional needs, but for sequences, segmentation, and behavioral triggers, you need dedicated platforms. Your email tool should work with Bubble workflows to create sophisticated automation.

This guide covers 12 email marketing tools that integrate with Bubble applications. I focused on platforms with plugins or API integrations that work within Bubble workflows. If you are using a different no-code tool, check out our guides for Glide, Adalo, or FlutterFlow.

1. Sequenzy

Price: Free (100 subscribers) / $49/mo at 10,000 subscribers. Transactional emails included at no extra cost.

Bubble's plugin ecosystem includes basic email, but most lack marketing automation. Sequenzy's API can be called from Bubble workflows for both transactional and sequence emails. One API call adds a user to a welcome sequence. Another triggers a re-engagement campaign.

The visual sequence builder creates sophisticated onboarding, trial conversion, and churn prevention flows. AI generates complete campaigns from descriptions. At $49/mo for 10k subscribers, it is 67% cheaper than ActiveCampaign and 94% cheaper than HubSpot.

Revenue attribution connects emails to actual conversions. Stripe OAuth syncs payment data for MRR-based segments.

Integrate via Bubble's API Connector. Define Sequenzy endpoints, then call them from workflows.

Where it falls short: No Bubble plugin (yet). Requires API Connector setup.

Best for: Bubble builders who want advanced automation beyond basic plugins. Small founders get enterprise-grade features without enterprise prices.

Native plugins

SendGrid, Mailchimp, Postmark, Brevo have Bubble plugins. Install, configure API key, use in workflows.

API Connector

Bubble's API Connector calls any REST API. Define email platform endpoints, call from workflows.

// Example Sequenzy endpoint in API Connector
URL: https://api.sequenzy.com/v1/subscribers
Method: POST
Headers: Authorization: Bearer [API_KEY]
Body: {
  "email": "<email>",
  "attributes": { "name": "<name>" }
}

Zapier/Make

Connect Bubble to email platforms through automation tools.

The Bottom Line
