# Trigger Census Syncs

> Automatically trigger Census syncs after successful dbt jobs

Learn how to automatically trigger Census syncs when your dbt™ runs complete successfully in Bolt. This integration helps data teams maintain synchronized data by sending fresh data to operational tools immediately after successful pipeline runs.

### What You'll Get

When a run succeeds, Bolt automatically triggers your Census sync:

* Census receives the webhook
* Sync process begins immediately
* Fresh data flows to your operational tools

  **Key Benefits for Data Teams**

  * Automatic Census sync triggering after successful Bolt runs
  * Real-time data synchronization with operational tools
  * Streamlined workflow between dbt™ pipelines and data syncs
  * Faster time-to-value for fresh data

<Warning>
  **Prerequisites for Census Integration**

  * Existing [Bolt schedule](https://app.paradime.io/bolt)
  * Census account with configured syncs
  * Census Sync Trigger API URL

### Setup Guide

Set up Census sync triggering for successful runs. Follow the steps below, and watch our [interactive tutorial](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/templates/reverse-etl-templates/trigger-census-syncs#step-3-test-the-integration).

#### Step 1: Get Your Census Sync URL

1. Open [Census](https://app.getcensus.com/) and navigate to your syncs
2. Find and select the sync you want to trigger
3. In the Sync Trigger section, copy the API URL

#### Step 2: Configure the Webhook

1. From the [Bolt](https://app.paradime.io/bolt) home screen, go to [Templates](https://app.paradime.io/bolt/templates)
2. Click **Reverse ETL** and use the "Trigger Census Sync" template
3. Enter your Census Sync URL.

```title="Example Sync URL: " theme={"system"}
https://bearer:secret-token%3AqhvcTdAX5tLV3J4JLUAVigdD@app.getcensus.com/api/v1/syncs/2511163/trigger
```

4. Click "Connect"

</Frame>

#### Step 3: Test the Integration

1. [Run a Bolt schedule manually](/products/bolt/managing-schedules/schedule-configurations#trigger-a-run-manually) (the webhook triggers only on successful runs)
2. After the run succeeds:
   * From the Bolt homescreen, go to [Webhooks](https://app.paradime.io/bolt/webhook)
   * Select your Census Sync Webhook
   * Check the Endpoints tab to verify the webhook triggered
