To correctly send your audience data from Adobe Experience Platform to the Braze destination, you need to go through the field mapping step.
Mapping consists of creating a link between your Experience Data Model (XDM) schema fields in your Platform account, and their corresponding equivalents from the target destination.
To correctly map your XDM fields to the Braze destination fields, follow these steps:
In the Mapping step, click Add new mapping.
In the Source Field section, click the arrow button next to the empty field.
In the Select source field window, you can choose between two categories of XDM fields:
Choose your source field, then click Select.
In the Target Field section, click the mapping icon to the right of the field.
In the Select target field window, you can choose between two categories of target fields:
lastName
XDM attribute to a custom Last_Name
attribute in Braze, will create the Last_Name
attribute in Braze, if it doesn’t already exist, and map the lastName
XDM attribute to it.Choose your target field, then click Select.
You should now see your field mapping in the list.
To add more mappings, repeat the previous steps.
Let’s say your XDM profile schema and your Braze instance contain the following attributes and identities:
XDM Profile Schema | Braze Instance | |
---|---|---|
Attributes |

Identities |

The correct mapping would look like this:
