As you develop your Community Connector, you can use and test it in Looker
Studio using the Head Deployment.
Using Head Deployment
The Head Deployment is created by default in Apps Script and will always contain
the current working version of the code.
- In the Apps Script development environment, Click Deploy > Test
deployments to open the Test deployments dialog.
- Click Copy to copy the Head Deployment ID.
- To load your connector in Looker Studio, replace the
HEAD_DEPLOYMENT_ID
placeholder in the following link with your connector’s Head Deployment
ID and follow the link in your browser:
https://lookerstudio.google.com/datasources/create?connectorId=HEAD_DEPLOYMENT_ID
For more information on deployments, view the
Deploy a Community Connector guide.
Update your code for Head Deployment
As you update your code, saving your Apps Script project will also update the
Latest Version / Head Deployment.
