How do I list Tableau views?

Short answer: You can list views in Tableau by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Tableau List Views action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Views.

What does the List Views action do in Tableau?
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.
What inputs does List Views require?
List Views has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Tableau returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Tableau returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List Views support batch operations?
Run List Views inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Tableau's rate limits.
