Why teams connect Braze and MotherDuck

Get the data locked inside Braze into MotherDuck as live tables, and send results back where Braze can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Braze is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Content Blocks, Users, Custom Attributes, Custom Events from Braze into tables in MotherDuck continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in MotherDuck can also be written back into fields in Braze where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Sync audience membership computed in the warehouse into Braze segments for targeting.
  • Sync CRM and billing attributes onto Braze user profiles so lifecycle campaigns target accurate plan and status data.
  • Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Braze's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Braze accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in MotherDuck sync back onto records in Braze, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in MotherDuck preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Braze or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between Braze and MotherDuck

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.
