Set up a connection
This video demonstrates creating a Looker connection.
After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all the required * authentication settings:
| Setting | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Name your connection * | Enter a clear and distinguishable name. Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account. |
| Client ID * | Enter your Looker client ID. |
| Instance URL * |
Enter your Looker instance URL. |
| Client secret * | Enter your Looker client secret. Multiple layers of protection, including AES 256 encryption, are in place to keep your secret safe. When editing this connection, you must re-enter this value each time; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text. |
