The steps for connecting your data source will depend on your technology. See the following guides:
When defining models, 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.
- 1.From inside your Census account, navigate to the Models page.
- 2.Enter a name for your model. You'll use this to select the model later.
- 3.Enter your SQL query. If you want to test the query, use the Preview button.
- 4.Click Save Model.
The sync will move data from your warehouse to Sailthru. In this step, you'll define how that will work.
- 1.
- 2.Under What data do you want to sync?, choose your data warehouse as the Connection and your model as the Source.
- 3.Under Where do you want to sync data to?, choose Sailthru as the Connection and an Object from the Sailthru Supported Objects.
- 4.
- 5.Under How are source and destination records matched?, select a mapping key. See Supported Objects for details for options.
- 6.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.
- 7.Click Next. This will open the Confirm Details page where you can see a recap of your setup.
- 8.If you want to start a sync immediately, set the Run a sync now? checkbox.
- 9.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.
If everything went well, that's it! You've started syncing data from your warehouse to Sailthru! 🥳️
