Google Analytics → Looker
AI-first ETL from Google Analytics into Looker. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Google Analytics into Looker
Datrise syncs Google Analytics's sessions, events, channels, conversions, and behavior cohorts into Looker as governed warehouse tables with LookML-ready naming. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns (nested fields expanded for modeling), and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/time dimension columns.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the underlying warehouse tables Looker explores, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned fact tables for PDT performance. Looker models live in LookML on top of SQL, so Datrise lands clean, stable column names rather than churn that would break your views.
Ideal for governed, version-controlled BI on a warehouse.
