Looker integration allows you to automate KRs, KPIs or create Insights in Quantive Results without writing a single line of code.
How to connect
In Quantive Results, navigate to Settings > Data Sources screen
Click the Add new data source button
From the Choose a connector dialog, select the BI and Analytics tab and then Looker.
Specify the name of the connection so that you can later distinguish your Looker connection.
More than one member of your organization can create Looker connections to be able to sync and use the data they have access to.
In order to connect your Looker account, you need to provide Domain (instance URL), Client ID, and Client Secret.
After the set-up is complete Looker appears as a data source with connection(s).
Troubleshooting
If you've automated KRs, KPIs, or created Insights with your data from Looker charts but you make changes to them or delete them, their sync breaks. You need to restore it by navigating to the broken entity/chart in Quantive Results, checking for a schema change, and clicking to update the schema ("Schema changes")
