Integration in Four Steps

Step 1: Connect Heroku Postgres

Connect Postgres with standard ODBC credentials.

Step 2: Connect Custom Destination as a destination

You can connect to a Custom Destination by providing credentials to Census through an intuitive interface.

Step 3: Define the core data that matters for your business

Write a SQL Statement to select the records you want to sync from Heroku Postgres. Census will match records based on the unique identifier you provide (like email or ID).

Step 4: Schedule your sync

Choose your sync frequency with options to transfer data in real time, on a schedule, or triggered via our API.

Objects and Fields

Every Census connector has a schema, which is made up of Objects and Fields. Objects are roughly analogous to tables in a database, whereas fields are like columns.

Advantages of Census

Build once. Reuse everywhere.

Once you define your models in dbt or in Census, you can sync them to all your tools, so every team is using the same data to achieve their goals.

No more CSV files & Python scripts

Focus on improving data quality and collaboration, not writing custom code to integrate with Go-t0-Market tools. Census takes care of getting the data into the hands of your business team. No engineering favors required.

It just works. At scale.

Whether you sync 100 records or 100 billion, we will keep your data in sync across your warehouse and your business tools. Census automatically navigates API failures and monitors errors to keep you aware of worst case scenarios.

Data Activation Use Cases

Syncing from Heroku Postgres

Heroku Postgres is a managed SQL database service provided directly by Heroku. You can access a Heroku Postgres database from any language with a PostgreSQL driver, including all languages officially supported by Heroku.

Now you can use the data in Heroku Postgres for more than just analytics and BI. With Amazon Heroku Postgres you can operationalize your data across your entire customer data stack.

Syncing to Custom Destination

Our Custom Destination API allows you to "bring your own" SaaS connector to Census. As a use case example, if you have a SaaS tool or a private API that we currently don't support, you can use our Custom Destination API to easily configure and start sending data to that tool.

Learn how to use Census with 👉 our Custom Destination docs

Census connects to Heroku Postgres and syncs data to Custom Destination. With 200+ integrations (and counting!) and transparent pricing, it's never been easier to start operationalizing your data. This is what we like to call Reverse ETL.
