Embed dashboard with parameter

[MariosLiodakis]

I have created a dashboard and I want to embed a specific page (the 3rd page) in another web application with a parameter. On this page, I have a filter (a dropdown list control) that allows single selection with names. I want to pass the selected name as a parameter in the other application so that end users only see data and information related to this name. The control field is named 'Name_of_the_lead_implementing_', which I have renamed to 'Grantee'. An example of a value in this dropdown list is 'The Green Road'.

I made some attempts like this:

- lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/myreport/page/p_gcxggzq6hd?params=%7B%22 Name_of_the_lead_implementing_%22:%22The%20Green%20Road%22%7D

Hello @MariosLiodakis did you find any solution for this ? am running into the same issue

[MariosLiodakis]

Hello @DZlAmir , yes, I found a solution. You need to go to the tab 'File' -> 'Report Settings' and check the box for 'Enable viewer filters in report link.' This will include the parameter in the URL. I also hid the control filter and sent a specific link to each end user.

I see you've sent a different link to each user, do you know if it is possible, as you've mentioned before, to create an embedded dashbaord that is filtered automatically by passing lets say the username as a parameter so the dashbaord is dynamically filtered to show the user only his relevant data

the only way i found to do this, is without embedded links

in the data source, you join it with another access table (that has each email and filter value from there you can use the looker studio email address parameter to check if the user in the table or not

Have you found a way to embed filtered reports?

First, sign in to Looker Studio and open your report in edit mode. Then go to File > Report Settings, and under Custom Bookmark Links, enable the option "Enable viewer settings in report link."

In my case, I use a hidden filter with only one selection available in view mode—based on the ID of each organization. When you select an ID, the URL changes to include that ID. This allows me to share a unique link for each organization.

For example, here are two different links for two organizations with IDs 56 and 43. You can see the ID values at the end of each URL:

- ...page/p_gcxggzq6hd?pli=1&params=%7B%22df205%22:%22include%25EE%2580%25801%25EE%2580%2580IN%25EE%2580%258056%22%7D

- ...page/p_gcxggzq6hd?pli=1&params=%7B%22df205%22:%22include%25EE%2580%25801%25EE%2580%2580IN%25EE%2580%258043%22%7D

The rest of the URL is automatically generated by Looker Studio.

Hi there,

Thank you for the explanation — that approach works perfectly when sharing the report via direct links.

However, the challenge I’m facing is when embedding the report into a WordPress page. Unlike sharing the URL directly, the embedded report doesn’t retain or dynamically apply the filter parameters (like the organization ID) through the embed code.

In other words, while the URL updates correctly when using direct links, I haven’t found a way to pass those dynamic parameters into the iframe embed on my website. My goal is to have a single embedded report that automatically filters based on the organization viewing it, just like the URL method allows.

Do you know if there’s a supported way to achieve this with embedded reports?

Or would this require a different approach, like using the Looker Studio API or embedding per organization manually?

Thank you for your help!

Regards,

Andre

Unfortunately, it is not possible to adjust the filters in the embedded reports,  this is what I found in the Looker Studio documentation.
