Looker Studio Alerts [Can You Set Up Them?]

What are Looker Studio alerts?

These are notifications that should be triggered based on changes in Looker Studio metrics.

How to start using these alerts?

Alerts aren’t available in Data Studio yet. But this feature is the most popular request among all requests users published in Looker Studio features backlog.

When this feature will be launched?

Due to data from a backlog the feature has already been assigned to a responsible person or department. But there is no strict deadline for when it should be available for users. So, visit this issue page and vote for this feature to demonstrate how important alerts are for you. To vote click on the star.

Why Looker Studio alerts feature is so popular?

It is so popular, because:

Most data sources have no alerting feature. Google Analytics has it, but others don’t.
Looker Studio has the ability to create custom metrics and blend data from different sources. It helps to monitor important data and get valuable insights that you can get in a specific data source itself. So, even if a specific data source has an alerting feature, you can’t get notifications by metrics that are available in Looker Studio only.

I believe that the Looker Studio team is actively working on alerting functionality and will release it soon. You can monitor their product updates here. By the way, there are many valuable updates for the first quarter of 2022.
