# Braze Email Integration with Novu

> Connect Braze to Novu to send transactional emails through workflows. Store your Braze API key, REST endpoint, and app ID in the Novu dashboard.

You can use [Braze](https://www.braze.com/) to send transactional emails through Novu. Novu calls Braze's messaging API and maps recipients by email address to Braze external user IDs.

## Getting started

You need a Braze account, a REST API key with messaging permissions, your Braze REST endpoint (base URL), and an app ID from your Braze workspace.

## Generating an API key

1. [Sign up](https://www.braze.com/) or log in to Braze.
2. Go to **Settings > APIs and Identifiers** (wording can vary slightly by Braze dashboard version).
3. Create an API key with permission to send messages.
4. Copy the key and store it securely.

## Finding your base URL and app ID

1. Use the [Braze REST endpoint](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/basics/#endpoints) that matches your Braze instance (for example `https://rest.iad-01.braze.com`).
2. Copy an **App Identifier** from **Settings > APIs and Identifiers**. Novu sends this as `app_id` on each email message.

<Note>
  Recipients must already exist in Braze with an email address Novu can resolve to a Braze `external_id`. If Braze cannot map the email, the send fails.
</Note>

## Creating a Braze integration with Novu

1. Visit the [Integrations](https://dashboard.novu.co/integrations?utm_campaign=docs-braze) page on Novu.
2. Click **Add a provider**.
3. Locate **Braze** under the Email section and click **Connect**.
4. Enter your:
   * **API Key**
   * **Base URL** (Braze REST endpoint)
   * **App ID**
   * **From email address**
   * **Sender name**
5. Confirm **Active Integration** is on. New integrations start active by default.
6. Click **Create Integration**.

You can now send transactional email with Braze through Novu.
