Braze Integration
With Braze Integration, you can send data from Voucherify API to Braze. This allows you to trigger messages to be sent using Action Based Delivery. Additionally, you can synchronize Braze audience IDs to Customer metadata. This feature allows the creation of promotions targeted at specific customer groups segmented in Braze.
The integration with Braze consumes API limits for Connected Content and webhook limits for sending codes to Braze with custom attributes.

How does it work?
The Inbound integration enable you to send Voucherify events to Braze.
First, connect your Voucherify account with Braze.
- Copy the REST API Key from your Braze account (it should at least have a permission 'users.track')
- Go to the Integrations directory in your Voucherify dashboard, find Braze and choose Connect.
- Paste the copied API Key from Braze and choose Connect:
Events Sent to Braze
The following list portrays the list of events sent to Braze.
EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REDEMPTION.SUCCEEDED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REDEMPTION.ROLLBACK.SUCCEEDED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REDEMPTION.FAILED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REDEMPTION.ROLLBACK.FAILED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REWARD_REDEMPTIONS.CREATED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REWARD_REDEMPTIONS.COMPLETED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.PUBLICATION.SUCCEEDED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.PUBLICATION.FAILED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REWARDED.MAIN EVENTS.CUSTOMER.REWARDED.LOYALTY_POINTS EVENTS.CUSTOMER.VALIDATION.SUCCEEDED EVENTS.CUSTOMER.VALIDATION.FAILED
Tracking Events
Historical Search
Track events taking place in Braze by heading to Data → Custom Events in your Braze account or Analytics → Custom Events Report in the new view. Example of such an event would be action-based delivery.
Select the period of time and events that interest you from the available list (events that you send to Braze are automatically added to the search list).
Customer Specific Events
It is also possible to take a closer look at the actions performed by a specific user rather than general statistics by heading to Users → User Search or Audience → Search Users in the new view.
Action Based Delivery
Trigger notifications to be sent based on custom events. In the second step of the campaign creation process, Schedule, you can select action-based delivery. This type of campaign lets you use your custom events. From the list select Perform Custom Event and add it as a trigger.
Then another list will pop up with events that you have sent to Braze. Below you can see a screen shot showing three different events.
You can, as an example, send new codes to all customers who failed to redeem their vouchers and try to make up for their disappointment.
Note, that campaigns may use Connected Content script to publish a unique coupon code and send it in the Braze message. More information about it in this article.
Update Voucherify Customer Segments
The Braze Outbound Integration allows for one-way customer data synchronization from Braze to Voucherify with Braze Canvas Webhooks. You can create promotions targeted at specific customer groups segmented in Braze.
This integration is based on a call to a dedicated URL on Voucherify’s side and will bring the customer's audience_id
