# Braze Cohorts Destination

## About this integration

The Braze Cohorts destination helps you send `group` calls to Braze as cohorts. Cohorts provide a scalable solution to storing subscription preferences and other data, eliminating the need to store group data as user-level attributes in Braze.

Braze Cohorts

## Getting started[](#getting-started)

1.  Go to **[Data & Integrations > Integrations](https://fly.customer.io/workspaces/last/journeys/integrations/all/directory)** and select the **Braze Cohorts** entry in the *Directory* tab.
    
2.  (Optional) Select the data sources that you want to connect to your outbound integration. You can always connect data sources later. We’ll only show you data sources that work with your integration.
    
3.  Configure your integration.
    
    1.  **Client Secret**: Data Import Key for the client whose cohort this belongs to. Also known as customer key.
        
    2.  **Endpoint**: Your Braze REST endpoint. [See more details](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/basics/#endpoints)
        
4.  Click **Enable Destination**.
    

The setup is complete and the Audience will start syncing to Braze Cohorts. We create a new cohort (if one does not already exist for the *Audience Key*) and add/remove users to/from the cohort accordingly. The audience will appear in your Braze account under *Engagement > Segments*.

If you add multiple actions in your Braze Cohorts destination, we recommend changing the trigger for your actions `Event Property audience_key = <your_audience_key>`. This ensures that each action maps specifically to the cohort you want to target in Braze.

## Actions[](#actions)

When you’re done setting things up, you can go to the *Actions* tab to see how we map incoming data to your integration.

You may need to add actions for this integration

While we often have default triggers for actions, we don't always add those actions as defaults. You may need to add actions to make sure that you're sending all the data that you want to send to your integration. See our [actions](/integrations/data-out/actions/) page for help setting up actions.
