Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) - Braze Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Braze

1. Cart Abandonment and Browse Abandonment Recovery

Data flow: Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Braze

When a shopper adds items to a cart or repeatedly views products without purchasing, Salesforce Commerce Cloud can send event data to Braze in real time. Braze then triggers personalized email, push, or in-app messages with the exact products viewed, cart contents, pricing, and availability.

• Recover lost revenue with timely reminders
• Use product-level personalization and dynamic offers
• Coordinate messaging based on cart value, customer segment, or abandonment timing

2. Post-Purchase Cross-Sell and Replenishment Campaigns

Data flow: Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Braze

After an order is completed in Salesforce Commerce Cloud, order details can be passed to Braze to launch post-purchase journeys. These journeys can recommend complementary products, accessories, or replenishment items based on the purchased category, brand, or expected consumption cycle.

• Increase repeat purchase rates
• Drive relevant cross-sell and upsell offers
• Automate follow-up messaging based on order history

3. Personalized Promotions Based on Customer Behavior

Data flow: Bi-directional

Salesforce Commerce Cloud can share browsing, purchase, and loyalty behavior with Braze, while Braze can send campaign engagement data back to Salesforce Commerce Cloud. This allows commerce teams to tailor promotions on-site based on campaign response, such as suppressing offers for recently converted customers or highlighting products tied to a high-performing campaign.

• Align on-site merchandising with marketing engagement
• Avoid over-messaging customers who already converted
• Improve promotion relevance across channels

4. Real-Time Customer Segmentation for Commerce Journeys

Data flow: Braze to Salesforce Commerce Cloud

Braze can maintain dynamic audience segments based on engagement signals such as email opens, click behavior, push interactions, and lifecycle stage. Those segments can be synchronized to Salesforce Commerce Cloud to personalize storefront content, promotions, and product recommendations for specific customer groups.

• Show different offers to high-value, lapsed, or first-time shoppers
• Support targeted merchandising by audience segment
• Improve conversion through more relevant storefront experiences

5. Inventory-Aware Campaign Suppression and Substitution

Data flow: Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Braze

Salesforce Commerce Cloud can provide product availability, stock status, and regional assortment data to Braze so campaigns only promote items that are available for purchase. If an item is out of stock, Braze can automatically substitute a similar product or suppress the message for that SKU.

• Reduce customer frustration from unavailable products
• Protect campaign performance and conversion rates
• Support region-specific inventory and fulfillment constraints

6. Lifecycle Messaging for New Customers and Loyalty Members

Data flow: Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Braze

When a customer registers, makes a first purchase, or joins a loyalty program in Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Braze can initiate onboarding and retention journeys. These journeys may include welcome series, education on benefits, personalized product recommendations, and loyalty milestone reminders.

• Accelerate first repeat purchase
• Improve loyalty program adoption
• Standardize lifecycle communications across teams

7. Campaign Performance Feedback into Commerce Optimization

Data flow: Braze to Salesforce Commerce Cloud

Braze engagement metrics such as message opens, clicks, conversions, and audience response can be fed back into Salesforce Commerce Cloud analytics or merchandising workflows. Commerce teams can use this data to refine product placement, homepage banners, and promotional strategy based on what content drives the strongest engagement.

• Close the loop between marketing and commerce performance
• Improve merchandising decisions with engagement data
• Support more accurate attribution of campaign-driven sales

8. Regional and Channel-Specific Customer Engagement

Data flow: Bi-directional

For global retailers, Salesforce Commerce Cloud can provide localized storefront context such as language, currency, and market-specific catalog data, while Braze can deliver regionally tailored messaging based on customer preferences and channel behavior. This enables coordinated campaigns that match local commerce rules, payment methods, and product assortments.

• Deliver consistent experiences across markets
• Support localized promotions and messaging
• Align marketing execution with regional commerce operations
