Connect to Looker Studio

Connect DataHawk to Looker Studio via your BigQuery database for live reports and dashboards.

Looker Studio is Google's free dashboarding tool. DataHawk connects to Looker Studio via your BigQuery database, giving you a live link between your DataHawk data and your reports.

Prerequisites

Before connecting Looker Studio, make sure you have:

A DataHawk BigQuery database: Activated in your DataHawk App. If you haven't set one up yet, see Send data to your tool.
Data sources connected: Your Amazon and/or Walmart accounts are connected and collecting data. If not yet, see Set up data first.
Your Google email registered on the BigQuery access list: Go to Setup → Destinations → BigQuery → Access in the DataHawk App and add your email. DataHawk uses this to share access to templates.

Option 1 — Use a DataHawk template

DataHawk provides a ready-to-use Looker Studio template called Analytics Essentials, covering product, keywords, advertising, sales, finance, traffic, and inventory views; all pre-built and connected to your BigQuery data.

To request access:

Open Report Templates

In the DataHawk app, go to Report Templates.

Request the template

Find the Looker Studio template and click Request Access.

A DataHawk team member will share the template to your Google email.

Open the report

You will receive an email invitation. Accept it to open the report in Looker Studio.

See Looker Studio Template for the full template guide.

Option 2 — Connect manually to BigQuery (for custom reports)

If you want to build your own Looker Studio reports from scratch, you can connect directly to your DataHawk BigQuery database using Looker Studio's native BigQuery connector.
