Components in Looker platform (no embed)

[Arnaud]

Hi Everyone!

How is it possible to add buttons, combo box and more generally different user interactive fields on the platform (meaning, NOT embedding looker in HTML/iframe)

Second, how an I relate, say, a button to an action (submit → send data to GCP for instance)

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

It is currently not possible to add components to the Looker UI.    In order to achieve a custom looker ui, you could utilize the extension framework, but it sounds like this would be a heavy lift, since you're looking to maintain the current UI and add to it.  Using the extension framework, you'd be re-creating the entire UI utilizing the LookerAPI in a standalone application, and then can add any elements to this app that you like.  

Regarding your second question,  we do have Looker Actions that you could utilize. This is a list of the currently supported integrated service destinations. 

Best,
