In short

How do I find the Looker dashboards nobody uses anymore?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Looker, reads content usage across your dashboards and Looks, and lists everything nobody has viewed in months with its folder and owner. It texts each internal owner a summary through Twilio and posts the full archive shortlist to Telegram, so stale content gets retired.

  • Stale dashboards surface every Monday instead of piling up for a year
  • Every unused item arrives with a named owner to archive or hand over
  • The folder your team browses stays the one that is actually maintained

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it delete or archive anything in Looker?

No. WebRun only reads content usage and reports what it finds. Archiving, moving, and deleting stay manual, so nothing disappears from a folder without a person deciding it should.

Who gets the text message?

Only the internal owners whose numbers you saved. WebRun texts your own team through Twilio and never contacts anyone outside the list you set up.

How does it decide something is unused?

It reads the content usage figures Looker already records and flags anything with no views in the window you choose, 90 days by default. You can widen or tighten that.

Put this on autopilot.
