Why teams connect Braze and SendGrid

Stop re-entering the same information in Braze and SendGrid: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Campaigns, Canvases, Subscription Groups, Content Blocks in Braze with Single Sends, Unsubscribe Groups, Email Activity, Contacts in SendGrid in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync audience membership computed in the warehouse into Braze segments for targeting.
  • 02 Sync CRM and billing attributes onto Braze user profiles so lifecycle campaigns target accurate plan and status data.
  • 03 Reconcile transactional email activity with support tickets so agents see what a customer was sent
  • 04 Sync CRM contacts and their custom fields into SendGrid lists so campaign targeting reflects live sales data

Common sync patterns

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record

Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.

Where one tool produces events: mirror them in the other

Payments, replies, messages, or tickets created in one tool can create or update matching records in the other, keeping context in one place.

What you can sync between Braze and SendGrid

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 SendGrid objects How this pairing syncs
Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Segments Query-based contact groups whose membership SendGrid computes from contact fields. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Categories Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Custom Attributes is specific to Braze and Categories to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Senders Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Custom Events is specific to Braze and Senders to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Single Sends One-off marketing campaigns whose stats are read back for reporting. Purchases is specific to Braze and Single Sends to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting. Unsubscribe Groups Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Campaigns is specific to Braze and Unsubscribe Groups to SendGrid — 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. Email Activity Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Canvases is specific to Braze and Email Activity to SendGrid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braze and SendGrid

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

SendGrid Braze Sub-second propagation

DetectionSendGrid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Webhook posts delivery and engagement events (processed, delivered, open, click, bounce, spam report) to an HTTP endpoint.

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.
  • SendGrid: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; contact upserts are batched, asynchronous jobs rather than per-row writes.
