Why teams connect Braze and MySQL

Mirror Braze's data into MySQL 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 MySQL.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Events, Purchases, Segments, Campaigns from Braze into Triggers, Databases (Schemas), Tables, Views in MySQL 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

  • Keep subscription and consent states consistent between Braze subscription groups and the CRM or CDP of record.
  • Export campaign and Canvas engagement data into a warehouse for cross-channel reporting.
  • Expose SaaS objects as MySQL tables so legacy internal tools built on MySQL can read live business data
  • Replicate ERP master data (customers, items, pricing) into the MySQL databases behind storefronts and portals

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.

Read Braze with a query

Records from Braze are ordinary rows in MySQL; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Braze from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in MySQL and Stacksync propagates the change into Braze, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Braze and MySQL

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 MySQL objects
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes.
Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems.
Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources.
Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values.
Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling.
Subscription Groups Channel-level opt-in states synced with consent records in other systems. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Braze or MySQL record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Braze ⇄ MySQL sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Braze and MySQL.

How the Braze and MySQL 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

MySQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (MySQL client/server protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials entered as a connection string or parameters, with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + SSH host)
Change detection
Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when binary logging is enabled)
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources
