@jlwasmer At this time we cannot have the “View this data in Looker” link removed or disabled from scheduled emails. I will provide your feedback to our Product Team.


Best!

Thanks @jesus.cruz, that will be great!


We have customers asking for their credentials! 😕


Cheers,

also would be good to remove the “unsubscribe” link for internal mails, specifically where a user can unsubscribe on behalf of a whole distribution list address.

Hi - I am also hoping to remove the “View this data in Looker” link from scheduled emails. Has there been any change on this since last summer?

Hi @wleftwich, yes it is possible to remove the links from scheduled emails. This option has been introduced in Looker 4.20, you can find the relevant release notes here.


You can also find out more about advanced scheduling options in our documentation here.

Hi @IanT,


This option is still not available but our product team is looking into it. Unfortunately I can’t give you a timeline when it will be available.


Best.

Also wanted throw my hat in the ring. We’ve started using groups for emails distribution more frequently and was thrown when it stopped sending all of a sudden. Traced it back to what must have been someone unsubscribing.


Would love to remove the unsubscribe option to avoid this issue in the future!

+1 I still don’t have this option in my looker instance. Chat support told me that it’s a white label feature. Is this true? I’m happy to include any sort of Looker branding in the email, but I don’t want external people asking for credentials/don’t want to send out an effectively broken hyperlink in every email.

I don’t believe this is a white label feature, actually. You might be looking in the Admin panel for the setting, when actually, it’s in the schedule modal itself:

The feature did come out in 4.20, so if you’re on a previous version, you wouldn’t see it.

Hey Izzy! I’m on a Looker hosted instance (6.6.14) and this option isn’t available to me under advanced options in the schedule modal. Any thoughts?

I was actually just peering over @deepika.raghavan’s shoulder at your conversation, but I ran away like a coward since I didn’t have any thoughts.


I’ll play around with this a bit more and give an update.

An incredibly minimal amount of digging by me (really all of the work done by @molly.lippsett ) has revealed the fact that this is the result of a bug! We’ve already fixed it but that fix hasn’t yet been rolled out to you.


Enjoy your shiny new Entomologist badge I’ve granted you for finding this 🐛. I’ll pop back with more on when exactly you’ll get that fix.

@Nathan_Meyers, I can confirm this fix will be present in Looker 6.8, which you are scheduled to receive 1 week from today (next Wednesday, the 20th). If you need it to land earlier, let me know and I can start to get that ball rolling.

Thank you! Looking forward to it.

@izzy +1 for the unsubscribe removal feature. We leverage Looker completely for embedded so would prefer to not have our external customers be routed to the Looker hosted application directly. I didn’t see a feature request so put this one in here - Remove Unsubscribe Link from Scheduled Emails

Gomez

Has there been any update on this?

mlc44

@izzy wondering if there has been any progress made on removing the “unsubscribe” button in the emails? Also, is there a way to know if someone has clicked unsubscribe?

 

Thanks,

For all our really important stuff we schedule via the api as a run once every time we want to send anything. If someone receiving as part of a distro list unsubscribes they do it on behalf of the whole list so no one gets it next time…you are probably aware of this already tho hence your question!

+1 on getting rid of the unsubscribe link. The looker reports are set to email groups, and if anyone in that even accidentally clicks on the link the reports just stop getting sent entirely. 

 

Thanks
