Why teams connect Braze and Google Pubsub

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Braze to the systems engineering runs in Google Pubsub, kept current in real time and in both directions.

Braze is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Google Pubsub is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Custom Events, Purchases, Segments, Campaigns in Braze with Topics, Subscriptions, Messages, Schemas in Google Pubsub field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

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 Publish new and changed database rows as messages to a Pub/Sub topic so multiple downstream subscriptions consume the change stream independently.
  • 04 Consume messages from a subscription via StreamingPull and write them into a Postgres or warehouse table for durable, SQL-queryable storage.

Common sync patterns

Where Google Pubsub tracks engineering work: requests become issues

A ticket or request raised in Braze opens or updates a matching issue in Google Pubsub, and status, comments, and resolution flow back, so support and engineering work the same item instead of retyping it.

Where Google Pubsub moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream

Records created or changed in Braze publish to the queue or topic in Google Pubsub as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.

Where Google Pubsub is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in Braze stay matched to the users in Google Pubsub, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

What you can sync between Braze and Google Pubsub

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.

Braze objects Google Pubsub objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Snapshots Captured subscription state for seek/replay; lets already-acknowledged messages be redelivered from a point in time. Custom Events is specific to Braze and Snapshots to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Message attributes Up to 100 key-value pairs per message; carry routing metadata and drive subscription filter expressions. Purchases is specific to Braze and Message attributes to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Dead-letter topics Destination for messages that exceed a subscription's max delivery attempts; isolates poison messages for later handling. Segments is specific to Braze and Dead-letter topics to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting. Ordering keys Tag messages so those sharing a key deliver in publish order when message ordering is enabled; throughput capped at 1 MBps per key. Campaigns is specific to Braze and Ordering keys to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis. Topics Named resource publishers send to; Stacksync publishes each record change as a message to a topic for downstream subscribers to consume. Canvases is specific to Braze and Topics to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscription Groups Channel-level opt-in states synced with consent records in other systems. Subscriptions A stream of messages from one topic; Stacksync consumes here via StreamingPull or a push endpoint, acknowledging each message after a successful write. Subscription Groups is specific to Braze and Subscriptions to Google Pubsub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braze and Google Pubsub

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.

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

Google Pubsub Braze Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Pubsub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Consumes messages as they arrive on a subscription — StreamingPull (long-lived gRPC) or a push subscription delivering each message as an HTTPS POST.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Braze: Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request.
  • Google Pubsub: Per-region throughput quotas (publish up to ~4 GB/s in large regions); 10 MB max per message and per publish request, 1,000 messages per request, and 1 MBps per ordering key.
