Why teams connect Box and Braze

Land the records and documents that build up in Braze into Box as they are created, and surface Box's file details on the Braze records that point to them, without an export job to maintain.

Braze and Box hold different kinds of data. Braze carries records and the activity around them — the tickets, messages, orders, or issues a team works through, often with documents attached. Box holds files and the metadata that describes them. Where the two meet is narrow but real: much of what Braze produces has to be kept somewhere durable, and many of the files Box stores are the very documents Braze's records point to.

Stacksync syncs Purchases, Segments, Campaigns, Canvases in Braze with Groups, Tasks, Events, Files in Box in real time. Records and attachments created in Braze are written into Box as objects or files within seconds of being created. In the other direction, the metadata Box keeps about those files — name, location, owner, modified date — flows back onto the matching record in Braze, so people see the current document without leaving the tool. Field-level mapping controls exactly what crosses over and in which direction, so you keep a durable copy of what matters without an extract to schedule or a nightly dump that leaves the copy a day behind.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync CRM and billing attributes onto Braze user profiles so lifecycle campaigns target accurate plan and status data.
  • 02 Push product usage events from a database or warehouse into Braze to trigger onboarding and retention journeys.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.

Common sync patterns

Where Braze generates attachments: keep the files in Box

Documents attached to records in Braze land in the storage system automatically, with the source record holding a link back, so files live in one governed place instead of inside the tool.

Where Box holds the source documents: file details on the record

A file's name, location, owner, and modified date from Box sync onto the matching record in Braze, so whoever is working there sees the current version without switching tools.

A copy that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Box preserves records and documents even as they age out of Braze or get changed inside it, so history stays intact and reachable.

What you can sync between Box 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.

Box objects Braze objects How this pairing syncs
Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns. Collaborations is specific to Box and Content Blocks to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Groups is specific to Box and Custom Attributes to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Tasks is specific to Box and Custom Events to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds. Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Events is specific to Box and Purchases to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Files is specific to Box and Segments to Braze — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box 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.

Box Braze Sub-second propagation

DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.

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

Braze Box 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 Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
  • Braze: Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request.
