Note: The below changes apply to all non-pro Looker Studio users and any non-pro assets that are still in “Owned by me.” If you are a Pro user with all your assets in Sandbox or Team Workspaces, these changes do not apply.
We're making changes to the email scheduling feature in Looker Studio (LS) to improve the reliability and efficiency of our email delivery system.
What's Changing:
- Removal of "Send Now": The ability to immediately send a report via email using the "Send Now" option will be removed.
- Removal of Custom Subject and Messages: The option to customize the email subject and message for scheduled emails will also be removed. Any custom messages in the existing schedules will be preserved, but you will no longer be able to edit them.
- Image in Preview: The preview of the report will not be added in the email and only the PDF file and link to the report will be sent.
What You Can Still Do:
- You can continue to schedule email reports to be delivered automatically at your desired frequency.
- This will ensure that your stakeholders continue to receive your reports on time.
Alternatives:
- For users who require immediate email delivery or custom messages, we recommend considering an upgrade to Looker Studio Pro. Looker Studio Pro provides enhanced features and flexibility to meet your reporting needs.
- Users can download a PDF of the report and send it via their own email client.
All non-pro Looker Studio users and any non-pro assets of pro-users that remain in “Owned by me” are now subject to these changes, effective immediately. For more information, please refer to our updated document
We appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the Looker Studio experience. Thank you for being a valued Looker Studio user.
