April 1, 2025 release

Updates to Braze navigation

The updated navigation in Braze is designed to help you efficiently access features and content across devices. Note that the option to switch between navigation versions is no longer available. Learn more at our dedicated Navigating Braze article.

Developer Guide detangle

Previously, many platform-level tasks were split across multiple pages, such as integrating the Swift SDK being split across six pages. Additionally, shared features were individually documented for each platform, meaning searching for a topic like “Setting Up Push Notifications” would return 10 different pages.

Before:

The previous Swift documentation located in the Platform Integration Guides section.

Now, platform-level tasks have been merged into single pages and shared SDK features now exist on the same page (with the help of our new SDK-tabbing feature). For example, now there’s only one page for Integrating the Braze SDK, where you can switch between platforms by selecting a tab at the top of the page. When you do, even the in-page table of contents will update to reflect the currently-selected tab.

After:

The updated Swift documentation located in the Swift tab of the Integrating the SDK article.

The updated Android documentation located in the Android tab of the Integrating the SDK article.

Contributing to Braze Docs

If you didn’t know, our docs are fully open-source! You can learn how in our Contributing Guide. This month, we documented some site functionality, like forcing sections to auto-expand and rendering API-generated content.

Data flexibility

Update to Canvas entry properties

Canvas entry properties are now part of Canvas context variables. Each context variable includes a name, data type, and a value that can include Liquid. For more information, refer to the Context component.

Updates to segmentation filters for phone number filters

Segmentation filters have been updated to reflect changes to two phone number filters:

  • Unformatted Phone Number (formerly Phone Number): Segments your users by their unformatted phone number.
  • Phone Number (formerly Sending Phone Number): Segments your users by the E.164 formatted phone number field.

Delete custom data

As you build targeted campaigns and segments, you may find that you no longer need a custom event or custom attribute. You can now delete this custom data and remove its references from your app.

Import users with email addresses and phone numbers

You can now use an email address or phone number to import users and omit an external ID or user alias.

Service Provider initiated login troubleshooting

Service Provider (SP) initiated login now has a troubleshooting section to help you work through issues with SAML and single-sign on issues.

User import troubleshooting

The User Import troubleshooting section has new and updated entries, including how to troubleshoot missing rows in your imported CSV files.

Frequently asked questions for Segment Extensions

Check out our frequently asked questions for Segment Extensions, including how you can create a Segment Extension that uses multiple custom events.

Personalized and extended delays

Early access

You can set up a personalized delay for your users and use this with a Context step to select the context variable to delay by.

You can also now extend Delay steps up to two years. For example, if you’re onboarding new users for your app, you can add an extended delay for two months before sending a Message step to nudge the users who haven’t started a session.

Default user profile attributes for Snowflake

Beta

There are now three default user profile attributes in Snowflake. Each view is designed for a specific use case with its own performance considerations. For example, you can be provided a periodic snapchat of a user profile’s default attributes.

Robust channels

Messaging fundamentals

Messaging Fundamentals is a new section in Engagement Tools that houses the shared concepts and terms for campaigns and Canvases, such as archiving and localizing messages.

WhatsApp custom domains

You can now assign custom domains to one or multiple WhatsApp subscription groups.

Triggered in-app messages for Canvas

You can now select a trigger for your in-app messages to be triggered on session start, or by custom events and purchases. After any delays pass and the audience options are checked, in-app messages are set to live when a user reaches the Message step. If a user starts a session and performs the trigger event for the in-app message, the user will see the in-app message.

Limit entrance volume for Canvas

You can limit the number of people who would potentially enter this Canvas by a selected cadence (daily, lifetime of the Canvas, or every time the Canvas is scheduled). For example, you can set the entry controls to allow the Canvas to only send to 5,000 users per day.

New use case: Booking reminder email system

Learn how you can use Braze features to build a booking reminder email messaging service. The service will allow users to book appointments and will message users with reminders of their upcoming appointments. Though this use case uses email messages, you can send messages in any, or multiple, channels based on a single update to a user profile.

You can turn off click tracking for specific links by adding HTML code to your email message in the HTML editor or to components in the drag-and-drop editor.

Dynamic Apple Push Notification Service gateway management

Dynamic APNs gateway management enhances the reliability and efficiency of iOS push notifications by automatically detecting the correct APNs environment. Previously, you would manually select APNs environments (development or production) for your push notifications, which sometimes led to incorrect gateway configurations, delivery failures, and BadDeviceToken errors.

Flutter support for Banners

Early access

Banners now support Flutter. Additionally, all Banner documentation has been overhauled for easier usability. Check out the following articles to get started:

WhatsApp click tracking

Early access

Click tracking lets you measure when someone taps a link in your WhatsApp message—giving you a clear view into what content is driving engagement. Braze shortens your URLs, adds tracking behind the scenes, and logs click events as they happen.

Frequently asked questions for push

Check out our new Push FAQ article that addresses some of the most frequently asked questions that arise when setting up push campaigns.

Push troubleshooting

Push troubleshooting provides a number of steps to help you navigate delivery challenges with push notifications. For example, if you’re experiencing delivery challenges with push notifications, we’ve compiled steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.

SDK updates

The following SDK updates have been released. Breaking updates are listed below; all other updates can be found by checking the corresponding SDK changelogs.

March 4, 2025 release

Deferrals

Braze has updated our definition for what is a soft bounce and is sending a new event called deferrals starting February 25, 2025 at 10 am EST.

For Sendgrid customers, we made a change to separate out deferral events from our soft bounce events. We count deferred events as a soft bounce event. This impacts any Sendgrid customer using Currents, Query Builder, SQL Extension, Snowflake Data Sharing, or our Transactional Email product.

Prior behavior

Before February 25, 2025, a deferred event for an email address on a campaign or Canvas logs a soft bounce event every time. As a result, deferrals are included as part of soft bounce data. This can result in a user or a campaign reporting more soft bounce events than expected.

New behavior

Starting February 25, 2025, a deferred event will no longer log a soft bounce event every time. Instead, we’ll log a soft bounce event once per send for the email address, no matter how many times the email is retried or deferred.

What this means

You’ll notice a sizable drop in the volume of soft bounce events starting on February 25, 2025, resulting in the following potential changes:

  • Decrease in soft bounces for any reports built using Query Builder
  • Smaller segment size using SQL Extensions if you’re targeting users that have soft bounced X times over Y period
  • Drop in the number of soft bounce events delivered using Currents and any of our features using Snowflake
  • Drop in the number of soft bounces for Transactional Email product

For Sparkpost customers, there is no impact on your soft bounce event data, instead you’ll start receiving a new email event, deferral, in Currents and Snowflake.

Developer Guide detangle

Identical content that’s shared across multiple SDKs are starting to be merged together using the docs site’s new SDK tabbing feature. This month SDK integration, SDK initialization, and Content Cards were combined. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.

Data flexibility

Braze IDs for user profiles

A user profile now includes a Braze ID. You can use this when searching for user profiles.

Deferrals

Braze has updated our definition for what is a soft bounce and is sending a new event called deferrals, which is when an email was not immediately delivered, but Braze will retry the email for up to 72 hours after this temporary delivery failure to maximize the chances of successful delivery before attempts for that specific campaign are stopped.

Snowflake entity relationships

We’ve mapped the raw table schemas for Snowflake and Braze entity relationships to a new user-friendly docs page. It includes a breakdown of the USER_MESSAGES tables belonging to each channel, as well as descriptions for each table’s primary, foreign, and native keys.

Identity management for external IDs

Using an email address or a hashed email address as your Braze external ID can simplify identity management across your data sources; however, it’s important to consider the potential risks to user privacy and data security.

Unlocking creativity

Liquid tutorials

Added three Liquid tutorials about how to use operators in the following scenarios.

Context steps for Canvas

Early access

Use Context steps to create or update a set of variables that represent the context of a user (or insights into that user’s behavior) as they move through a Canvas.

Personalized delay

Early access

You can set up a personalized delay for your users by selecting the Personalize delay toggle in your Delay step. You can use this with a Context step to select a context variable to delay by.

When setting up a Delay step in your Canvas user journey, you can now create a delay up to 2 years.

Reverting automatic synchronization

When composing an email message, you can revert to automatic synchronization in the Plaintext tab by selecting the Regenerate from HTML icon, which only appears if the plaintext isn’t synchronizing.

The revert button for automatic synchronization in Braze.

Robust channels

Android Live Updates

Although Live Updates won’t be officially available until Android 16, our Live Updates for Android page shows you how to emulate their behavior, so you can display interactive lock-screen notifications similar to Live Activities for the Swift Braze SDK. Unlike official Live Updates, this functionality can be implemented for older Android versions.

Copying campaigns with feature flags across workspaces

You can now copy campaigns with feature flags across workspaces. To do so, make sure the destination workspace has a feature flag experiment configured with an ID that matches the feature flag referenced in the original campaign.

New WhatsApp message types supported

WhatsApp messages now support video, audio, and document outbound messages. Contact your Braze account manager if you’re interested in participating in the early access.

Right-to-left messages

Creating right-to-left messages covers best practices for crafting messages in languages that read right-to-left so that your messages display accurately as much as possible.

AI and ML automation

Item recommendations

Using item recommendations in messaging covers the product_recommendation Liquid object and includes a tutorial to help you put that knowledge into practice.

New Braze partnerships
