Why teams connect Braze and IBM AS/400

Mirror Braze's data into IBM AS/400 so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Braze through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM AS/400.

Stacksync mirrors Campaigns, Canvases, Subscription Groups, Content Blocks from Braze into Physical files (tables), Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records in IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Braze, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Export campaign and Canvas engagement data into a warehouse for cross-channel reporting.
  • Sync audience membership computed in the warehouse into Braze segments for targeting.
  • Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
  • Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.

Automate Braze from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM AS/400 and Stacksync propagates the change into Braze, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Braze arrive as row changes in IBM AS/400, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Braze and IBM AS/400

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 IBM AS/400 objects
Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations.
Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads.
Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources.
Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs.
Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access.

How the Braze and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Braze

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
REST API keys scoped to specific endpoints, issued per workspace
Change detection
Braze Currents streams engagement events outward; profile reads otherwise rely on export endpoints and polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request

IBM AS/400

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC to Db2 for i (for example the JTOpen/jt400 driver), alongside native record-level access
Authentication
IBM i user profile credentials (database credentials)
Change detection
Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files; polling as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
