Instagram Username into Profile
Hi all!
we are wondering what would be the best way to add the Instagram user name on a user profile in Braze.
Do you think it has to be a custom attribute? I see on the documentation https://www.braze.com/docs/user_guide/data_and_analytics/user_data_collection/user_profile_lifecycle/#user-aliases that the twitter user name can be added into the user profile. Does anyone has an idea?
Many thanks in advance and have all a good summer,
Carla
Hello carla_calleja
I have not needed to do this myself but looking at the list of Braze User Profile fields, I can see Facebook and Twitter but not Instagram. Makes me think it will need to be a custom attribute. I'd wait to see if others have solved this though. 😊
Braze User Profile FieldsHi carla_calleja ! From my understanding, there shouldn't be much of a difference at all whether the social media handles are reserved as standard attributes or custom-created as custom attributes. Custom Attribute is probably the way to go 🙂

Braze User Profile FieldsHi DavidO,
Thanks a lot for your answer. Yes good finding! I can see now Facebook and Twitter. I wonder why IG is excluded from Braze User Profile Fields...Thanks Allan!
