Analytics React Native Braze Middleware Plugin

Braze(link takes you to an external page), formerly Appboy, is an engagement platform that empowers growth by helping marketing teams to build customer loyalty through mobile, omni-channel customer experiences.

Braze's middleware plugin code is open source and available on GitHub. You can view it on GitHub in the @segmentio/analytics-react-native(link takes you to an external page).

The Braze middleware plugin is a BeforePlugin used to debounce identify events for Braze(link takes you to an external page). This Plugin should be used with a Cloud Mode connection to Braze. To connect to Braze with a Device Mode connection use the Braze Destination Plugin(link takes you to an external page) instead. It is not possible to use both plugins in one Analytics React Native instance.

In your code where you initialize the analytics client call the .add(plugin) method with an BrazeMiddlewarePlugin instance:

import { createClient } from '@segment/analytics-react-native';

import { BrazeMiddlewarePlugin } from '@segment/analytics-react-native-plugin-braze-middleware';

const segmentClient = createClient({

  writeKey: 'SEGMENT_KEY'

segmentClient.add({ plugin: new BrazeMiddlewarePlugin() });

Once enabled, this plugin will make it possible to use Braze with a Cloud Mode connection while limiting the number of identify calls from the client.
