The Challenge
Looker dashboards are your source of truth—but they only deliver value when someone is watching them. In practice:
- Monitoring is reactive, not proactive — Teams check dashboards after problems are reported, not before
- Manual investigation is slow — When a dashboard shows a drop, someone has to manually dig into related queries to understand root causes
- Alert fatigue is real — Basic metric alerts generate noise without the context needed to act
- Stakeholder communication is delayed — Findings are shared only after a human has reviewed, analyzed, and summarized the data
The gap between “the dashboard shows a problem” and “the business takes action” is filled with manual effort—and that gap costs time, money, and customer satisfaction.
The Autohive Solution
Autohive’s GoogleLooker integration brings your dashboards to life by turning them into triggers for automated workflows. Instead of waiting for someone to notice a performance issue, your automated agents monitor dashboard data, investigate root causes by executing related queries, and alert stakeholders with actionable context—all automatically.
Dashboard Data Access
Retrieve comprehensive dashboard information programmatically—including elements, filters, layout configurations, and underlying data. Build workflows that respond to what dashboards show, not just what humans notice.
Automated Root Cause Investigation
When a dashboard signals an issue, automatically execute follow-up queries to investigate. Pull comparison data, trend analysis, or related dimension breakdowns—delivering context alongside the alert rather than requiring manual follow-up.
Intelligent Stakeholder Alerting
Generate rich, context-aware alerts that include the data behind the issue. Instead of “metric dropped,” stakeholders receive “revenue is down 12% vs. last week, primarily driven by a 30% decline in the enterprise segment”—automatically.
Benefits
- Proactive issue detection — Problems are caught and investigated before stakeholders ask questions
- Faster response times — Automated investigation means context is available immediately when an issue is flagged
- Richer alerts — Stakeholders receive data-backed summaries, not just threshold notifications
- Consistent monitoring — Dashboards are checked on schedule regardless of team capacity or time zones
- Closed-loop analytics — Data insights automatically trigger business actions, creating a genuinely reactive organization
How It Works
- Define your monitoring criteria — Specify which dashboard elements to watch and what conditions should trigger action
- Schedule your monitoring cadence — Set Autohive to check dashboard data at the interval that matches your business rhythm
- Configure investigation queries — For each trigger condition, define the follow-up queries that provide root cause context
- Set stakeholder routing — Determine who gets notified, with what data, through which channels (Slack, email, CRM, etc.)
- Deploy your reactive system — Activate your workflow and let Autohive monitor, investigate, and alert automatically
