Tableau
Tableau Server / Online dashboard automation
Tableau on Tiny Command exposes the Tableau Server / Tableau Cloud REST API — the side of Tableau that handles content management and refresh orchestration, not the in-dashboard analytics surface (which lives behind the Tableau Embedded Analytics surface). Six actions, no triggers: List Workbooks, List Views (the individual sheets/dashboards within workbooks), List Projects (Tableau's folder structure), Get View Image (renders a view as PNG/PDF at the current parameters — the right action for "send the daily KPI dashboard as a PNG to Slack"), Publish Workbook (upload a .twbx file to the server), and Refresh Datasource (kick off an extract refresh on a published data source). The connection uses Tableau personal access tokens (PAT) or a username + password, plus the server URL (e.g., 10ax.online.tableau.com for Tableau Cloud, or your on-prem Tableau Server URL). PAT is preferred — tokens expire on a 1-year-no-use cycle and can be revoked individually. Tableau's sign-in step exchanges credentials for a session token that the runtime caches and refreshes.
Do anything Tableau can do, from a workflow.
Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Get View as Image | Renders a Tableau view (worksheet or dashboard) to a PNG image at the requested resolution. Great for embedding dashboards in emails, Slack posts, or PDF reports without exposing the live workbook. |
| List Projects | Lists the projects (folders) on a Tableau site, the containers that hold workbooks and datasources. Typically used to build a project picker before publishing. |
| List Views | Lists views (individual worksheets and dashboards) across the Tableau site, with their parent workbook IDs. Use this to enumerate dashboards before exporting images or building catalog UI. |
| List Workbooks | Lists every workbook on the Tableau site with its project, owner, and tags. The standard starting point for any Tableau automation that operates on workbooks. |
| Publish Workbook | Uploads a .twb or .twbx workbook to a Tableau site under the chosen project. Useful for CI/CD pipelines that promote workbooks from dev to prod without manual upload. |
| Refresh Datasource | Triggers an extract refresh for a Tableau datasource so dashboards pick up the latest data. Common pattern: kick this off from your ETL pipeline once the underlying warehouse load is complete. |

Three things worth knowing.
Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.
Connect Tableau once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.
Every Tableau field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
