This guide shows you how to use Census to connect your Sailthru Account to your data warehouse and create your first sync.
Before you begin, you'll need the following:
Census account: If you don't have this already, .
Sailthru account: so that you can copy the API key.
Have the proper credentials to access to your data source. See our docs for each supported data source for further information:

Select Sailthru from the dropdown list.
Follow the Sailthru authentication flow, see below screenshots where to find your credentials.

The steps for connecting your data source will depend on your technology. See the following guides:
When defining datasets, you'll write SQL queries to select the data you want to see in Sailthru. This can be as simple as selecting everything in a specific database table or as complex as creating new calculated values.
From inside your Census account, navigate to the Dataset page.
Enter a name for your dataset. You'll use this to select the dataset later.
Enter your SQL query. If you want to test the query, use the Preview button.
Click Save Dataset.
The sync will move data from your warehouse to Sailthru. In this step, you'll define how that will work.
Under What data do you want to sync?, choose your data warehouse as the Connection and your model as the Source.
Under Which properties should be updated?, select the fields you want to update by mapping a field in Sailthru to a column in your model.
Click Next. This will open the Confirm Details page where you can see a recap of your setup.
If you want to start a sync immediately, set the Run a sync now? checkbox.
Click Create Sync.
When configuring your sync, the page should look something like this: 👇
Once your sync is complete, it's time to check your data. Open Sailthru and check that the records updated correctly.
