Shopify catalogs
Shopify catalogs allow you to import your products from your Shopify store into a Braze catalog, automating the process to bring in product data for deeper personalization of your messages. You can enrich your abandoned cart, order confirmation, and more with the most up-to-date product details and information.

In the Deliverability Center, you can now view and monitor your domain reputation to help avoid being filtered into a spam folder.
Customization guides
We’re excited to introduce a reorganization of the Developer Portal. Now, customization options for our SDKs, starting with Content Cards, are consolidated into dedicated customization guides. This change streamlines your access to detailed instructions, making it easier to tailor experiences to your specific needs.
Card creation in Canvas
You can choose when Braze evaluates audience eligibility and personalization for new Content Card campaigns and Canvas steps by specifying when the card is created.

Copying to workspaces
Copying campaigns across a workspace allows you to get a jumpstart on your message composition by starting with a copy of a campaign in a different workspace. This copy will remain as a draft until you edit and launch, helping you keep and build off your successful messaging strategies.
Copying campaigns across workspaces is currently in early access. Contact your Braze account manager if you’re interested in participating in this early access.
