API Campaign Setup

Setting up an API Campaign in Braze allows you to send transactional messages by generating a campaign_id for use in your API calls. This process involves creating the campaign in the Braze dashboard and then using the campaign_id in your API requests to send messages. Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up an API Campaign:

Access the Braze Dashboard:

  1. Log in to your Braze account. Navigate to the Messaging section and select Campaigns.

  2. Create a New Campaign: Click on Create Campaign.Choose API Campaigns as the campaign type.

  3. Configure the Campaign: Name the Campaign: Provide a descriptive title to easily identify the campaign later.

    • Add Message: Click on Add Message Select the message types (channels) you intend to use (e.g., Email, SMS, Push Notifications). This action will generate a campaign_id and a message variation ID for each channel.

  4. Optional - Add Conversion Events: If you wish to track specific user actions as conversions, you can add a conversion event to the campaign.

  5. Save the Campaign: After configuring the necessary settings, click on Save Campaign.

  6. Implement the API Campaign: Retrieve the campaign_id: After saving, note the campaign_id generated for your campaign.

    • Prepare Your API Request:
      • In your API request, include the campaign_id in the appropriate field as specified in Braze's Send Messages Endpoints documentation.
      • For each platform included in the campaign, provide the corresponding message variation ID within the message object.

You are all set with Braze!
