Reverse ETL

Definition

The process of syncing data from a data warehouse back into operational tools like CRMs, marketing platforms, and customer success systems.

Reverse ETL closes the loop in the modern data stack by pushing enriched, transformed data from the warehouse into the tools where revenue teams work. For example, syncing a product usage score from the warehouse into Salesforce so AEs can see it on the account record. Tools like Census, Hightouch, and Polytonus specialize in Reverse ETL, enabling operational analytics without requiring teams to log into BI dashboards.
