What do custom attributes of the 'Time' data type store in Braze?

Custom attributes of the 'Time' data type in Braze are designed specifically to store timestamp information, which allows marketers to track when certain actions occurred. The option indicating "the last time a specific action was taken" aligns perfectly with this definition. By storing timestamps, marketers can analyze user behavior and determine the recency of interactions, which is crucial for effective targeting and personalization in marketing campaigns.

For instance, understanding when a user last engaged with a campaign can help in re-engaging them or sending follow-up content. The data stored can lead to actionable insights, enabling marketers to refine their strategies based on user activity over time. This utilization of time-based attributes enhances segmentation and targeting efforts, making campaigns more efficient and effective.

In contrast, birthdays, durations of engagement, and timestamps of marketing emails do not fit the specific focus of the 'Time' data type in Braze as closely as the last action taken does. Each of these options involves different types of information that may require other data types or attributes for accurate storage and analysis in the Braze platform.
