The Actions page in the Platform section of the Admin menu lets you enable services that are integrated with Looker. For information on how to build and test actions to request to add to the Looker Action Hub or to add to your own private action hub server, see the Sharing data through an action hub documentation page.
Requirements
To access the Actions page in the Platform section of the Admin menu, your user must have the Admin role.
Enabling an action
Prompt Looker to check the Looker Action Hub server for new actions by selecting Refresh at the top of the actions list.
Each service that is integrated into Looker's Actions page has its own requirements. The list of integrations later on this page has a table of all the available services. See the How to use this integration column for links to articles about setting up and using each service.
First perform any setup steps required on the integrated service. Then enable the integration in Looker, specifying any required information for that service.
To enable an integration, perform the following steps:
On the Platform page of the Admin, select Actions.
Find the service that you want to enable, and select the Enable button to the right of the service.
Looker then displays the enablement page for the selected service.
If applicable, enter the required information to configure this action. You should be able to gather this information from your account with the service that you're enabling.
Turn on the Enabled switch. Looker automatically tests the action's configuration and displays an error if the action is configured incorrectly. Once you've made changes, select Test Again to retest the action's configuration.
Select Save to save the action's configuration and close the action enablement page. The action is now available as a destination in the Looker Scheduler.
List of integrated services
The following list shows the services that are are available in the Looker Action Hub.
Here is how to use the list:
- The URLs that are shown in the Link to README file column provide instructions for enabling and configuring the integrated service to work with Looker.
- The URLs that are shown in the How to use this integration column provide instructions for how to send data from Looker to the integrated service. Some of these articles also contain enablement instructions.
- Required LookML tags lists any required tags that must be used with the
tagsparameter in the content's underlying model. - Action type indicates what level of data the integrated service is sending: field, query, or dashboard. A field-level action sends the value of a single, specified cell in a data table. A query-level action sends the results of an entire query, such as all rows in an Explore or a Look. A dashboard-level action sends an image of a dashboard.
- Content available for scheduled deliveries indicates what type of Looker content this integrated service can send as an ad hoc or scheduled content delivery.
- Uses Google OAuth authentication indicates whether the integrated service uses Google OAuth credentials for authentication. Customer-hosted instances may be unable to enable actions from the Looker Action Hub that use Google OAuth. See the Sharing data through an action hub documentation page for suggested solutions to this potential issue.
- Uses data streaming indicates whether the integrated service supports streamed query results. Customer-hosted instances may be unable to enable actions from the Looker Action Hub that stream results. See the Sharing data through an action hub documentation page for suggested solutions to this potential issue.
- Minimum supported Looker version provides the earliest Looker version that your instance must be using in order to use this integration.
