Update Scheduled Plan

Version 4.0.24.14

Update a Scheduled Plan

Admins can update other users' Scheduled Plans.

Note: Any scheduled plan destinations specified in an update will replace all scheduled plan destinations currently defined for the scheduled plan.

For Example: If a scheduled plan has destinations A, B, and C, and you call update on this scheduled plan specifying only B in the destinations, then destinations A and C will be deleted by the update.

Updating a scheduled plan to assign null or an empty array to the scheduled_plan_destinations property is an error, as a scheduled plan must always have at least one destination.

If you omit the scheduled_plan_destinations property from the object passed to update, then the destinations defined on the original scheduled plan will remain unchanged.

Email Permissions:

For details about permissions required to schedule delivery to email and the safeguards Looker offers to protect against sending to unauthorized email destinations, see Email Domain Allow List for Scheduled Looks.

Scheduled Plan Destination Formats

Scheduled plan destinations must specify the data format to produce and send to the destination.

Formats:

format Description
json A JSON object containing a data property which contains an array of JSON objects, one per row. No metadata.
json_detail Row data plus metadata describing the fields, pivots, table calcs, and other aspects of the query
inline_json Same as the JSON format, except that the data property is a string containing JSON-escaped row data. Additional properties describe the data operation. This format is primarily used to send data to web hooks so that the web hook doesn't have to re-encode the JSON row data in order to pass it on to its ultimate destination.
csv Comma separated values with a header
txt Tab separated values with a header
html Simple html
xlsx MS Excel spreadsheet
wysiwyg_pdf Dashboard rendered in a tiled layout to produce a PDF document
assembled_pdf Dashboard rendered in a single column layout to produce a PDF document
wysiwyg_png Dashboard rendered in a tiled layout to produce a PNG image

Valid formats vary by destination type and source object. wysiwyg_pdf is only valid for dashboards, for example.
