Connections

Tableau Token Connection

Authenticates requests to Tableau using a token

This component uses token authentication to interact with the Tableau API.
To generate a token:

  • Log in to Tableau
  • Click the user icon in the top right, and click My Account Settings
  • Under Personal Access Tokens, type in a Token Name and select Create new token.
    Take note of the Token Name and Token Secret - you'll enter those in a moment
  • Look at your Tableau URL.
    It'll look like https://10ay.online.tableau.com/#/site/MarketingTeam/workbooks.
    You'll use the 10ay.online.tableau.com portion as your Host Name, and MarketingTeam as your Site ID.

Now, add a Tableau step to your flow.
This will automatically create a Tableau connection config variable.
Fill in the config variable with the Token Name, Token Secret, Host Name and Site ID that you noted above.

For additional information regarding authentication, please refer to the Tableau docs.
