Export user lists

Overview

In this destination service, DinMo will create lists of user and keep them up to date in Braze.

To do so, you will need to go through these three steps:

• Creating a Braze destination. Refer to the corresponding section for more info.

• Creating a user model or segment composed of all the users that will populate your list in Braze. Refer to this step-by-step tutorial to learn how to build segments without SQL in DinMo.

• Activating the segment to the Braze destination to start sending data. Refer to the corresponding section for more info. Due to a Braze limitation, DinMo will not directly create a list in Braze. Instead, it will create and update an attribute in the users table, which will be set to True for all the users who are part of the list.

• To finalize the list creation, navigating to the Braze interface, then creating a new list by filtering all the users where the attribute value is True.

Each time the activation will be running:

• Any new user entering your DinMo model or segment will have its attribute updated to True in Braze

• Any user leaving your DinMo model or segment will have its attribute updated to False in Braze

Note that only users who have an external ID linked to an existing Braze user will be considered by DinMo. In this destination service, DinMo will not create new user.

Destination setup

To start exporting lists, you are first required to create a Braze destination with the corresponding destination service.

Optional: Setup default activation settings

At the end of the destination creation, you will be proposed to setup Default Activation Settings. This step is optional, but is highly recommended to facilitate the activation process.

By configuring default settings, synchronizing all your contacts lists to Braze will just take one click. Without default settings, you will be required to go through the configuration each time you activate a new audience.

Note that even if you setup default settings, you will still be able to adjust activation settings for each of your activations if you wish to.

Refer to the Activation configuration section for more info about the default settings configuration process.

Activation configuration

Once the destination has been setup, and your DinMo model or segment created, you can create an activation to start sending data to Braze right away. The model or segment will be exported as an attribute value in Braze.

Audience Name

The audience name will be the name of the attribute that will be created in the users table in Braze. DinMo will replace spaces by underscores.

Make sure an attribute with the same name does not already exist.

Fields mapping

In this section, specify the DinMo field corresponding to the external ID that should be used by Braze to identify your users. This is the id that is defined in Braze in UUIDs and GUIDs format. Refer to this documentation if you want to learn more about Braze external user IDs.
