Prefetching (3.36+)

Looker Q&A Looker

I saw the above comment that pre-fetch api is being deprecated and that scheduling with data groups is the suggested solution.

Is it possible to trigger a schedule with the api, so that we have the same side-effects as prefetching did, but not to actually generate a PDF/report or send it anywhere?

Btw the api demo super nifty to play around with, glad yall made it and hope it remains maintained:

So we ended up solving for the no-emailing, no sftp constraint by setting up a webhook to just listen and not do anything with the information it gets.

Hello Tommy_Wu, I hope you’re doing well.
Could you please give me some tips how to set up a webhook to just listen and not do anything with the information it gets ?
