Google’s Looker Studio lets you to tell powerful data stories to support informed data-driven decisions. Now, imagine a world where you can instantly integrate real-time Blackbaud data directly into Looker Studio dashboards without the intermediary spreadsheets! This world exists, but getting there can feel like navigating an obstacle course with an unreadable map. Often, the alternatives include manually pulling CSV files from Blackbaud lists and pasting them into a Google Sheet (which results in stale data) or using scripting to automate the data pulls from the SKY API® into a Google Sheet (which keeps the data fresh, but requires an extra step and expertise). Google offers documentation on creating your own Custom Connector to achieve this integration. Join me as I share the resources available to make this happen, along with a proof of concept project to spark your inspiration. While implementing this solution requires some solid coding skills, this session is open to anyone who is looking to learn and connect with like-minded folks.
