## Overview

Looker is a business intelligence and data exploration platform built for data-driven organizations. Integrating Looker with your CRM, marketing tools, data warehouses, and communication platforms lets teams act on insights automatically rather than waiting for someone to check a dashboard. With tray.ai, you can build workflows that pull Looker data into operational systems, trigger alerts from dashboard anomalies, and keep your analytics environment in sync with the rest of your business.

## Use cases

### Automated Insight-to-Action Workflows

When a Looker Look or dashboard query returns results that hit a defined threshold — a spike in churn risk or a drop in conversion rate — automatically trigger downstream actions in Salesforce, Slack, or your CRM. This closes the gap between spotting a problem and doing something about it, without anyone having to manually check a dashboard first.

- Cut time-to-action on critical business signals from hours to seconds
- Replace manual dashboard monitoring with event-driven automation
- Notify the right teams and trigger workflows the moment data thresholds are crossed

### Scheduled Report Distribution and Data Delivery

Stop manually exporting Looker results and emailing them around. Automate extraction, transformation, and delivery of query results to stakeholders via email, Slack, Google Sheets, or cloud storage. Set any schedule you need and route data to the right destination based on content, team, or region.

- Stop manually exporting and distributing reports
- Stakeholders get up-to-date data at the right time, without anyone pushing it to them
- Route different report outputs to different destinations based on dynamic logic

### CRM and Sales Data Enrichment from Looker

Pull aggregated metrics and behavioral signals from Looker — product usage scores, revenue trends, pipeline velocity — and write them back into Salesforce or HubSpot as custom fields. Sales and customer success teams get the analytical context they need directly in the tools they're already working in.

- Give sales reps data-driven context without requiring them to log into Looker
- Keep CRM records enriched with the latest analytical scores and metrics
- Reduce data silos between your BI layer and your go-to-market tools

### Data Pipeline Monitoring and Alerting

Use Looker queries to monitor the health of your data pipelines and warehouse tables — checking for row count anomalies, null rates, or freshness gaps — and automatically alert data engineering teams via PagerDuty, Slack, or Jira when something looks off.

- Catch data quality issues before they impact downstream reports
- Automatically create incidents or tickets when monitoring queries fail thresholds
- Keep data engineering teams informed without building custom monitoring infrastructure

### Customer Health Scoring and Lifecycle Automation

Run Looker queries that calculate customer health scores based on product usage, support tickets, and engagement metrics, then sync those scores to your customer success platform or CRM. From there, trigger lifecycle automations like QBR scheduling, at-risk alerts, or renewal workflows automatically.

- Keep customer health scores current without manual refreshes or CSV exports
- Trigger automated playbooks in Gainsight or HubSpot based on Looker-computed scores
- Give customer success teams real-time visibility into account health changes

### Marketing Performance Sync and Campaign Optimization

Extract campaign performance metrics from Looker and push them into marketing platforms, spreadsheets, or executive dashboards. You can also trigger budget adjustment workflows or pause underperforming campaigns based on thresholds you define directly in Looker — no analyst required to kick things off.

- Automate weekly and monthly marketing performance report generation
- Connect Looker performance data to campaign management tools for closed-loop optimization
- Free analysts from manually compiling and distributing marketing reports

### Embedded Analytics and AI Agent Data Retrieval

Use Looker as a data retrieval layer for AI agents and chatbots, so conversational interfaces can query business metrics on demand. When a Slack bot or AI assistant needs to answer a question about revenue, churn, or pipeline, it can run a Looker query dynamically and return structured results.

- Power natural language data queries by connecting AI agents to Looker's governed metrics
- Back AI-driven answers with consistent, warehouse-level data definitions
- Let non-technical stakeholders get answers through conversational interfaces instead of digging through dashboards

Connectors used: Looker, Amazon S3

### AI Agent Query Router Using Looker Metrics

Lets an AI agent or Slack chatbot accept natural language questions, translate them into Looker API query parameters, run the query, and return a formatted answer with the metric results.

Connectors used: Looker, Slack, OpenAI

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Bridging the Gap Between Analytics and Operational Systems

Looker surfaces insights well, but getting those insights into the CRMs, ticketing tools, and messaging platforms where work actually happens requires custom scripting or manual exports. Teams end up copying data by hand or maintaining fragile one-off scripts.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai has pre-built Looker connector actions alongside connectors for Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, and hundreds of other tools, so you can build bi-directional data flows with a visual workflow builder without writing custom code.

### Managing Complex Looker API Authentication and Query Construction

The Looker API requires OAuth token management, nuanced query construction using the Looker query object model, and careful handling of rate limits and pagination. That's a lot of development overhead before you've written a single line of actual integration logic.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai handles Looker OAuth authentication natively and abstracts the query API into simple, configurable actions. You can run inline queries, retrieve Looks, and manage schedules without writing API boilerplate or managing token refresh logic.

### Keeping Downstream Systems in Sync with Evolving LookML Models

As LookML models evolve — fields get renamed, explores get restructured, new dimensions get added — hardcoded integrations that reference specific field names break silently, producing incorrect or missing data in connected systems.

**How Tray.ai helps:** When LookML changes, you update the affected workflow in one place rather than hunting down scattered scripts. Field mappings are managed visually, and workflow versioning lets you test against schema changes before pushing anything to production.

### Scaling Scheduled Delivery Beyond Looker's Native Scheduler

Looker's native scheduled plans have real limitations around conditional logic, multi-destination routing, and data transformation before delivery. Teams that need to send different data subsets to different tools based on dynamic rules tend to outgrow native scheduling quickly.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai workflows replace or augment Looker's native scheduler with full conditional branching, data transformation, and multi-connector routing. You can filter, reshape, and route Looker query results to any combination of destinations based on the content of the data itself.

### Enabling Real-Time Action Without Overloading Looker's API

Teams that want near-real-time automation based on Looker data often end up polling the API too frequently, burning query credits, and hitting rate limits — degrading performance for other users and driving up infrastructure costs.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai supports intelligent polling schedules, caching patterns, and webhook-based triggers that cut down unnecessary Looker API calls. Workflows can be designed to run only when data actually changes or when upstream pipeline completions signal that fresh data is available.

## Agent features

### Run Looker Looks (Data Source)

Execute saved Looks to retrieve pre-built query results and use the data as context for analysis or decision-making. An agent can surface specific business metrics without constructing queries from scratch.

### Query Explores Directly (Data Source)

Run ad hoc queries against Looker Explores to retrieve tailored datasets based on dynamic conditions. An agent can answer specific business questions by pulling only the relevant dimensions and measures.

### Fetch Dashboard Data (Data Source)

Pull all tiles and underlying data from a Looker dashboard for a full snapshot of business performance. Agents can use this to write summaries, spot anomalies, or kick off downstream workflows based on what the dashboard shows.

### Look Up User and Group Information (Data Source)

Retrieve details about Looker users, groups, and their assigned roles or permissions. Useful for agents managing access control workflows or auditing who has visibility into specific data.

### Retrieve LookML Model Metadata (Data Source)

Access metadata about LookML models, Explores, dimensions, and measures to understand how available data is structured. Agents can use this to point users toward the right data sources or validate query parameters before running them.

### Monitor Scheduled Deliveries (Data Source)

Fetch details about scheduled data deliveries and reports configured in Looker. An agent can use this to audit delivery status, catch failures, or confirm that critical reports are going out on time.

### Create and Update Looks (Agent Tool)
