# Braze

The Braze and Open Loyalty integration allows you to sync loyalty data—such as points balance, tier changes, and expiry warnings—directly into Braze in real-time. This enables you to trigger personalized messages (Email, Push, SMS) immediately when a user's loyalty status changes.

### About this integration

This integration uses **Braze Data Transformations** to capture webhooks from Open Loyalty and map them to Braze User Profiles.

* **Real-time Updates:** Push loyalty events (Points Earned, Tier Upgrades) to Braze instantly.
* **Personalization:** Use loyalty attributes (Current Balance, Next Tier Name) in your Braze templates.
* **Bi-directional:** Update Open Loyalty customer custom attributes based on Braze engagement data.

### Limitations

**Braze**

Using Braze Data Transformations involves specific rate limits, allowing up to 1,000 incoming requests per minute per workspace. This limit can be increased under a paid plan.&#x20;

**Open Loyalty**

Open Loyalty imposes its own rate limits (usually around 1,500 incoming requests per second), which are detailed further in [environments-capabilities](https://help.openloyalty.io/technical-guide/api-fundamentals/environments-capabilities "mention"). It's essential to consider these limitations when planning an integration to ensure efficient data flow and prevent disruptions.
