Overview

Authorizing an Account

The first time you add a Tableau card to a Flow, you need to set up a configuration for that Connector. Setting up a configuration will allow you to connect to your Tableau account, save the information, and reuse that configuration next time you build a Flow with the connector. That way, you don’t have to sign in every time you want to build a Flow with this Connector. After you’ve set up one configuration, you can choose to use that configuration again, or set up a new one.

You can set up and save multiple configurations and share them with your teammates. Here’s how to set up a new configuration in Tableau:

  1. Add the Tableau card you would like to use to your Flow. If you already have configurations set up, you will have to select Add Account to create a new configuration. If you don’t have any configurations set up, you will automatically be taken to the next step.
  2. Choose a nickname for your configuration. Choose something unique, since you may need to be able to tell multiple configurations apart in the future.
  3. Enter the email and password of your Tableau account.
  4. Enter the name of your site. This needs to be a single string, i.e., ‘alexandriassite’ for ‘Alexandria’s Site’.
  5. Click Next.
