Google Looker Studio integration

Google Looker Studio (formerly known as Data Studio) allows you to create custom dashboards and reports for data visualization. Using CallRail’s integration with Google Looker Studio, you can use the contents of your Call Attribution report to infuse your custom dashboard with your call data. 

Getting started

Your integration with Google Looker Studio is available at the company or agency level. By setting up this integration, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Four CallRail connectors are available for sending your data and can be used simultaneously. Use the links below to navigate directly to one or more of these within Google Looker Studio's gallery.

- The Call Time Series connector shows call data over a selected time period.

- The Call Summary connector shows summary call data grouped by various metrics.

- The Call Details connector shows full, detailed data for individual calls.

- The Form Summary connector shows summary form data grouped by various metrics.

The Call Summary and Form Summary connectors can provide the following fields as "Group By" categories within Google Looker Studio:

- Source.

- Keyword.

- Campaign.

- Referrer.

- Landing Page.

- Company.

Adding your call data to Google Looker Studio

After selecting one or more connectors as described in the previous section, follow the steps below to customize your report.

Note: If you are using multiple connectors, you will need to complete the following steps for each connector you choose.

1. Select Authorize to implement the use of this Community Connector for both CallRail and Google Looker Studio. 
   
   
2. You'll reach a screen where you can configure your custom report. For any data connector you choose, select your Account from the dropdown. Configure the other fields as they are listed for your chosen connector to begin the setup of your report. 
   
   
3. If you'd like to pull data only from a specific company, select that company from the drop-down menu in the second field. If no company is chosen, Looker Studio will pull all calls from your account at the agency level (calls meeting the criteria you select here from every company in your account).
   
   
4. After you've set your dimensions in Looker Studio to your personal preferences, click Connect at the top of the page.
   
   
   
   
5. You'll be taken to a page where you can add additional configurations for your report. Click Add to Report when you're ready to finish your report setup.
   
   
   
   Tip (optional): If you've selected Average Duration as one of your data points, Google recommends changing the "Type" on this page to "Duration (sec.)" within the Numeric section of the drop-down.
   
   
6. Click Create Report at the top of the page when finished.
   
   
7. You'll be redirected to a new screen where your report will be built. Click Add to Report to add your data source.
   
   
8. Customize your report by choosing the graphs, colors, layout, and themes you'd like to apply to your report. 
   
   
9. When finished, click View at the top of the page to see your report.

FAQs

Can I use the Google Looker Studio integration on my white label account?
At this time, Google Looker Studio isn't available for white-labeled accounts. 

I've set up my Google Looker Studio integration but it doesn't show as active
Don't worry! Your integration is active. Due to the authorization Google Looker Studio uses, we can't mark the integration icon as active.

Why I don't see any calls in the "Opportunity Tagged Calls" in the Calls Details template?
Our report template for Call Details includes a table with call data. We added a filter to that table to demonstrate setting up a report filter in Google Looker Studio. However, the filter may cause you not to see any data in the table, especially if none of the calls are tagged with “Opportunity.”

To remove the filter, you can click on the table, which will open the edit pane for the table. On the Data tab, there is a Filter section. You can click on the pencil icon next to the filet to edit the filter, and hovering over the filter gives you the option to delete it.
