Looker Setup Guide Lite

Follow our setup guide to connect Looker to Fivetran.

Prerequisites

To connect Looker to Fivetran, you need a Looker account with Admin role.

Log in to your Looker account.
Find the subdomain in your Looker URL and make a note of it. For example:
- If your URL is https://fivetrandemo.looker.com/folders/home, then your subdomain is fivetrandemo.looker.com.
- If your URL is https://fivetrandemo.cloud.looker.com/folders/home, then your subdomain is fivetrandemo.cloud.looker.com.

On the navigation menu, click Admin and then go to the Users tab.
Select your user and then click Edit.
In the API3 Keys section, click Edit Keys.
Click New API3 Key. Make a note of Client ID and Client Secret. You will need them to configure Fivetran.

In the connection setup form, enter your chosen Destination schema name.
Enter the Subdomain you found in Step 1.
Enter the Client ID and Client secret you found in Step 2.
(Hybrid Deployment only) If your destination is configured for Hybrid Deployment, the Hybrid Deployment Agent associated with your destination is pre-selected in the Select an existing agent drop-down menu. To use a different agent, select the agent of your choice, and then select the same agent for your destination.
Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync data from your Looker account.
