Jason Wang, a software engineer at Census, outlines how the integration of Census and Retool can facilitate rapid access to customer data through the use of the Census Entity API. Census, a data activation platform, enables data teams to sync data from warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift into SaaS applications without the need for custom pipelines, while Retool allows for the quick development of internal tools with minimal coding. The blog post provides a step-by-step guide for setting up real-time personalization in Retool apps using the Census Entity API, highlighting the ease of pulling customer data for ad hoc use cases and creating applications such as a Customer 360 dashboard. By enabling the Entity API and configuring Retool components, users can map, query, and display data efficiently, ultimately broadcasting Customer 360 data wherever needed.
