Building accessible messages

Marketing content that excludes people with disabilities, even unintentionally, can prevent millions of people from interacting with your brand. Accessibility in marketing is about making it easy for everyone to experience your marketing, receive and understand your communication, and have the opportunity to invest in or become a fan of your product, service, or brand. Refer to Building accessible messages in Braze for guidance.

Query builder early access

With the query builder, you can generate reports using Braze data in Snowflake. The query builder comes with pre-built SQL query templates to get you started. Currently only the templated queries are allowed. Support for custom SQL queries will follow.

This feature is currently in early access. If you’re interested in participating in the early access, reach out to your customer success manager.

Feature flags beta

Feature flags allow you to remotely enable or disable functionality for a selection of users. They let you turn a feature on and off in production without additional code deployment or app store updates. This allows you to safely roll out new features with confidence.

This feature is currently in beta. If you’re interested in participating in the beta, reach out to your customer success manager.

SQL Segment Extensions early access

Segment Extensions allow you to generate a Segment Extension using Snowflake SQL queries of Snowflake data. SQL can help you unlock new segment use cases because it offers the flexibility to describe the relationships between data in ways that aren’t achievable through other segmentation features.

Pre and post-launch checklist for Canvas

Before and after you launch a Canvas, there are several details you should check:

  • Ensure that your messaging and send times align with your audience’s preferences
  • Account for variations in time zones, entry settings, and more
  • Review and adjust your Canvas in the event of discrepancies after launch based on these scenarios

Use this checklist as a guide to finetune these areas based on your use case to help contribute to the success of your Canvas.
