    Recognizing that brands have different technologies and workflows in their marketing tech stacks – we’ve built the Braze Data Platform with flexibility and extensibility in mind. We categorize new and existing product and partner integrations into 3 pillars:

    Data Unification: Ingest and consolidate first-party data from any source through direct integrations with your data warehouse, CDPs, digital properties, backend systems, and other software investments—all with ultra-low latency.

    • Braze SDKs: Automatically collect essential and custom app or web data to enable communication with Braze services.
    • Braze APIs: Record custom events, user attributes, and purchases for users with the /users/track API endpoint.
    • Cloud Data Ingestion (CDI): Directly connect, sync, and delete user data (user attributes, events, purchases) and Catalog data from the leading data warehouses.
    • Data Transformation: Send data from any SaaS tool into Braze using webhooks.
    • Catalogs: Access data from imported CSV files and API endpoints to enrich your messages, similar to custom attributes or custom event properties through Liquid
    • Partner integrations: Directly ingest data into Braze from your CDPs, marketing analytics, or other platforms with 150+ pre-built integrations
