Braze

Braze is an analytics and marketing automation product. You can track Rover events into Braze to use it for either or both using the following sample integration. You may need to customize it to get the best value out of the tool.


Sending Rover events to Braze

After integrating both the Rover and Braze SDKs into your project, your goal will be to send all the Rover events to Braze as Braze custom events.


Conversion Tracking

A method for including the Rover conversion tracking tags is to continually append them to a Braze custom attribute array. Braze arrays are ordered sets with a size limit that act as a FIFO (first-in, first-out), and so old conversion tracking tags will eventually rotate out of the Braze array, which typically have a limit of 100.
