Connect to Census

Census is a reverse ETL platform that syncs customer data from you lakehouse into downstream business tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, and Google Ads.

You can integrate your Databricks SQL warehouses and Azure Databricks clusters with Census.

Connect to Census manually

This section describes how to connect an existing SQL warehouse or cluster in your Azure Databricks workspace to Census manually.

Requirements

Before you connect to Census manually, you need the following:

• A cluster or SQL warehouse in your Azure Databricks workspace.

  • Compute configuration reference.
  • Create a SQL warehouse.

• The connection details for your cluster or SQL warehouse, specifically the Server Hostname, Port, and HTTP Path values.

  • Get connection details for an Azure Databricks compute resource.

• An Azure Databricks personal access token. To create a personal access token, follow the steps in Azure Databricks personal access tokens for workspace users.

  Note

  As a security best practice, when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.

Steps to connect

To connect to Census manually, follow Databricks in the Census documentation.
