Is there a way to auto refresh a dashboard after submitting a Looker action?

[Shaheer1]

We've been using Looker actions to update allow dashboard users to update some data in our database. However after this update, we need to manually clear cache and refresh Looker to see the updated data. Is there a way to force Looker to refresh the dashboard after a Looker action is submitted?

Hi Shaheer1

If you are using the native Looker UI, this is currently not possible, and I'd recommend training the users to always clear cache after using the action.

If you are embedding this dashboard in a custom web portal iframe, then this is possible using JavaScript event controls.

I hope this helps!
