What problem does it solve?

This skill helps engineers and integrators diagnose and resolve programmatic issues with Braze, including API errors, webhook and Connected Content failures, user deletion and blocklisting decisions, and data schema or identifier mismatches across Liquid, REST API, and Currents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Webhook & Connected Content Troubleshooting: Interpret HTTP error codes, unhealthy host detection, retry behavior, and actionable steps to fix authentication, payload, or endpoint issues.
• User & Custom Data Management: Explain consequences of deleting vs blocklisting attributes/events, how to change custom data types safely, and how deletions affect downstream exports and counts.
• Identifier & Dispatch Tracing: Map campaign/canvas attribute names and IDs across Liquid, REST API, and Currents; explain dispatch_id behavior for scheduled vs triggered sends and how to template it.
• Use Case Example: Given a failing Connected Content call that returns 598 and high 5xx rates, use this skill to determine whether the target host is unhealthy, recommend retry or :retry usage, and point to the appropriate Help Center articles.
