Leverage the integration between Friendbuy and Braze to expand your email and SMS capabilities while effortlessly automating your referral and loyalty program communications. Braze will generate customer profiles for all the opted-in phone numbers collected via Friendbuy.
Installation Instructions
- Rest EndPoint is needed to integrate with Braze. This can be found here.
- Use the table provided on the API overview page to match the URL of the dashboard you use to the correct REST Endpoint.
- To find your URL, log into Braze, If the URL you see is https://dashboard-01.braze.com, the corresponding Rest Endpoint would be https://rest.iad-01.braze.com.
- If you need assistance, open a support ticket.
- Confirm your API-Key. In your Braze account, go to Settings > API Keys. A REST API key is required with every request to the Braze API. When generating a new API key, be sure to select User Data and Email permissions. The API Key gives you access to your data for a workspace.

Click Install Integration....

How customer data is sent to Braze
Customer data collected in your referral program will be added to the respective Braze profile after a customer interacts with your referral program widgets. Email is used as the identifier for creating and updating Braze profiles. Important to note, customer data will only be sent to Braze if the customer opts-in through the referral widget by selecting the opt-in boxes.
For example, if a customer enters both their email and phone number in the widget but only checks the opt-in box for email marketing (and leaves the SMS marketing opt-in box unchecked), then only the email address will be sent to Braze. If a customer submits their contact information without either opt-in box checked, customer data will not be sent to Braze since consent was not collected.
The opt-in checkboxes are required to collect consent from the customer indicating they would like to receive additional emails and/or SMS messages from your company. See an example referral widget below:
