Integration in Four Steps

Step 1: Connect dbt

Connect to your dbt repo, select a branch that you'd like to use, and tag your models with "census" to make them available.

Step 2: Connect LinkedIn Ads as a destination

You can connect to LinkedIn Ads by providing credentials to Census through an intuitive interface.

Step 1: Connect a single source of truth

Connect to your dbt data source using standard API or ODBC credentials.

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

Write a SQL Statement. Select the records you want to sync from your dbt data source. Census will match records based on the unique identifier you provide (like email or ID).

Step 4: Schedule your sync

Michael T

Business Operations

I used to develop reverse ETL systems with Python and Airflow for destinations like Eloqua, Mixpanel, Braze, Intercom, and Salesforce. Every destination requires different data types, formats, rate limits, and API requests. Census saves me from maintaining my custom code, so I can spend more time to optimize the system itself.

Frances Fang

Sr Data Engineer

Census takes what the analytics team does out of static dashboards and into tools that the rest of the company uses, allowing us to actually deliver on the promise of being “data driven”.

Matt Nicosia

Director of Growth

“My favorite tool in our martech stack!!”

Allison K

Growth Marketing Manager
