How do I list Tableau views?
Short answer: Drop the "Tableau → List Views" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Filter filter | string | Optional | Tableau filter expression |
Page Size page_size | number | Optional | Max views per page |
Sample request
{"filter": "workbookName:eq:Sales","page_size": "{{trigger.page_size}}"}
Returns
{"views": {"view": [{"id": "view-123","name": "Q3 Revenue","workbook": {"id": "wb-123"},"contentUrl": "SalesDashboard/sheets/Q3Revenue"}]}}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

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.

Action
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.
ActionList 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.
ActionList 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.
ActionPublish 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.
ActionRefresh 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.
