LookML to Looker Studio Integration
AI-first ETL from LookML into Looker Studio. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads LookML into Looker Studio
Datrise syncs LookML's models, explores, views, dimensions, measures, and joins into Looker Studio as warehouse tables Looker Studio connects to. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for chart fields, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date dimension columns.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the connected tables, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned tables to keep extract refresh fast. Looker Studio performs best on pre-aggregated tables, so Datrise lands tidy, report-shaped tables rather than raw API payloads.
Ideal for free, shareable dashboards on Google data sources.
Endpoints

FAQ
How does Datrise handle LookML's custom fields in Looker Studio?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns for chart fields, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Looker Studio types.
How does the LookML to Looker Studio sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental refresh of the connected tables.
