Why teams connect Autopilot and Braze

Feed Braze's records into Autopilot for indexing, classification, and generation, then land the model's output back on those same records, in real time and in both directions.

Autopilot works on data it does not own. The records, conversations, tickets, messages, and events it needs to embed, classify, summarize, or answer questions about actually live in Braze, the tool the team uses every day. So the value of Autopilot depends on two flows that most teams stitch together with a custom script or a one-time export: getting Braze's data in, and getting the model's results back out to where people can act on them. When either flow runs on a batch or a stale snapshot, the model reasons over yesterday's data and its output never reaches the record it belongs to.

Stacksync syncs Segments, Campaigns, Canvases, Subscription Groups from Braze into Autopilot continuously, so the model always works from current records instead of a snapshot, and writes Smart Segments, Journeys (Triggers), Activities, Contacts, the scores, labels, summaries, drafts, and embedding metadata Autopilot produces, back onto the matching record in Braze. The sync is field-level and keyed on a stable identifier, so every output attaches to the exact record it came from and each system keeps its own extra fields untouched.

You decide the direction and the trigger conditions per field: pull records one way to build and keep a retrieval corpus current, push results the other way onto the operational record, or both.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream Activities into a warehouse so opens, clicks, and journey steps sit next to product and revenue data for lifecycle reporting.
  • 02 Upsert Contacts from a CRM or product database into Autopilot so new signups and profile changes flow into email and SMS journeys without manual CSV imports.
  • 03 Push product usage events from a database or warehouse into Braze to trigger onboarding and retention journeys.
  • 04 Keep subscription and consent states consistent between Braze subscription groups and the CRM or CDP of record.

Common sync patterns

Build a retrieval corpus from Braze's records

Records, tickets, messages, or events from Braze sync into Autopilot so they can be indexed, embedded, or retrieved as context, without a hand-built extraction job.

Keep the model's knowledge current

As records change in Braze, the synced copy in Autopilot updates within seconds, so retrieval and generation reason over live data rather than a stale export.

Where Autopilot classifies or scores: results land on the record

Categories, sentiment, priority, or scores produced by Autopilot write back onto the matching record in Braze, so the team acts on them in the tool they already use.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Braze

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Autopilot objects Braze objects How this pairing syncs
Lists Static contact lists; membership is readable per list and writable by adding or removing contacts. Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target. Lists is specific to Autopilot and Users to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields User-defined contact properties (string, number, date, boolean); discovered so field keys map cleanly to destination columns. Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Custom Attributes to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Custom Events to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journeys (Triggers) Automation journeys; a contact can be added to a journey via its trigger endpoint to start automated email or SMS sequences. Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Purchases to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Per-contact activity and event history (opens, clicks, journey steps); read-only feed used for engagement reporting. Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Activities is specific to Autopilot and Segments to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting. Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Campaigns to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Braze

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Autopilot Braze Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Autopilot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Braze through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Braze Autopilot Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Braze for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Braze Currents streams engagement events outward.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Autopilot through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Autopilot: The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.
  • Braze: Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request.

How the Autopilot and Braze connectors work

Autopilot

Integration surface
REST API (Autopilot v1); Autopilot rebranded to Ortto in 2021 and the newer Ortto API co-exists with the legacy Autopilot endpoints
Authentication
Per-account API key sent in the autopilotapikey request header (generated in account settings); requests use Content-Type application/json against https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1/
Change detection
No CDC; incremental sync polls the /contacts endpoint with bookmark cursor pagination and updated timestamps. Journey webhook actions can push specific contact events, but there is no general change-subscription webhook, so polling is the reliable path.
