Why teams connect Braze and Ldap

Connect the tickets, records, and events in Braze to the systems engineering runs in Ldap, 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. Ldap 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 Attributes, Custom Events, Purchases, Segments in Braze with Schema (subschema subentry), Entries, Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user), Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) in Ldap 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 Write user entries and group memberships into an LDAP directory from an HR system of record to drive downstream application access.
  • 04 Read person, group, and organizationalUnit entries into a warehouse for periodic access reviews and audit evidence without LDIF exports.

Common sync patterns

One shared record across both systems

Where both systems keep records for the same contacts, items, or users, a correction in either updates the other, ending dual maintenance and keeping IDs aligned for every other flow.

Where Ldap tracks engineering work: requests become issues

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

Where Ldap moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream

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

What you can sync between Braze and Ldap

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 Ldap objects How this pairing syncs
Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis. Schema (subschema subentry) The objectClass and attribute-type definitions the server exposes; read to validate that written attributes exist and are single- or multi-valued as expected. Canvases is specific to Braze and Schema (subschema subentry) to Ldap — 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. Entries The fundamental unit of an LDAP directory, each addressed by a distinguished name (DN) and typed by its objectClass; synced two-way as records, with the DN driving upserts and attribute-level updates. Subscription Groups is specific to Braze and Entries to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns. Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) People held under objectClasses such as inetOrgPerson, person, or Active Directory user; synced two-way to create accounts and update attributes like mail, cn, and telephoneNumber. Content Blocks is specific to Braze and Person entries (inetOrgPerson / user) to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target. Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) Group entries whose member or uniqueMember attributes list DNs; synced two-way to add and remove membership as teams and entitlements change. Users is specific to Braze and Groups (groupOfNames / posixGroup) to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Organizational units (ou) Container entries that structure the DIT and scope which subtree a sync reads or writes; used to limit a sync to a branch such as ou=People,dc=corp,dc=com. Custom Attributes is specific to Braze and Organizational units (ou) to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Attributes The typed name/value pairs on each entry (cn, mail, memberOf, objectClass); the schema defines which attributes each objectClass allows, and mappings are built per attribute. Custom Events is specific to Braze and Attributes to Ldap — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braze and Ldap

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

Ldap Braze Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Ldap for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No universal native change feed.

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.
  • Ldap: LDAP defines no request quota; throughput is bounded by the server's sizelimit and timelimit administrative limits, connection and thread caps, and the CPU/IO it shares with live authentication traffic, so large syncs can contend with production lookups and must page results.

Ldap

Integration surface
LDAPv3 protocol (RFC 4511) over TCP, typically LDAPS on port 636 or StartTLS on 389; reaches any LDAPv3 directory server - OpenLDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, 389 Directory Server, Oracle Unified Directory, PingDS/ForgeRock, NetIQ eDirectory, Apache Directory.
Authentication
A bind DN and password (simple bind), typically over TLS, using a service account with rights to the target subtree. SASL mechanisms - GSSAPI/Kerberos, DIGEST-MD5, or EXTERNAL with a client certificate - are available where the server supports them.
Change detection
No universal native change feed. Incremental sync polls the modifyTimestamp operational attribute (or entryCSN / uSNChanged on servers that expose them) for entries changed since the last cursor; detecting deletes needs a server changelog or tombstones because a plain search cannot see removed entries. Some servers add Persistent Search or RFC 4533 content-sync (syncrepl), but that support is server-specific. No webhooks.
