How do I list Tableau views?

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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List Views support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Views inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Tableau's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
