Sharing data through an Action Hub

In addition to delivering content to Looker’s built-in destinations, you can use actions — also called integrations — to deliver content to third-party services integrated with Looker through an action hub server.

The Looker Action Hub

Looker hosts and provides a stateless server, the Looker Action Hub, which implements Looker’s Action API and exposes popular actions. Any data your users send using an action will be processed temporarily on the Looker Action Hub server rather than in your Looker instance.

Looker is already integrated with several services. See the Admin settings - Actions documentation page to learn how to enable these existing services.

Action Hub Requirements

To use Looker integrations, the Looker Action Hub must be able to communicate with the Looker instance and fulfill these requirements. Admins of customer-hosted instances may need to consider additional factors when choosing to enable Looker integrations from the Looker Action Hub, especially integrations that support streamed results or that use OAuth.

Requests to actions.looker.com resolve to a dynamic IP address. Outgoing requests from the Looker instance must be able to reach these endpoints:

actions.looker.com/
actions.looker.com/actions/<name>/execute
actions.looker.com/actions/<name>/form
