LATEST UPDATE (May 2026)
The Tableau add-on has been enhanced with an updated UI and now includes several key features:
* Tableau Data Integration for Google Sheets™: A new capability allows users to seamlessly move data back and forth between Tableau Cloud and Google Sheets™.
* Enhanced Multi-tenancy: To ensure data integrity, tenant information is now strictly isolated from others, excluding personal accounts.
* Global Accessibility: We have introduced localization support for 15 specific locales:
Europe: de_DE, en_GB, es_ES, fr_FR, it_IT, nl_NL, sv_SE
Americas: en_US, fr_CA, pt_BR
Asia-Pacific: ja_JP, ko_KR, th_TH, zh_CN, zh_TW

UPDATE (April 2025)
Originally, this add-on only supported link unfurling (Smartchips) in Google Docs™. That still works the same, but we’ve added the following additional features:
* Embed images of your Tableau content within Google Docs™ & Google Slides™
* Refresh tableau images within Google Docs™ & Google Slides™
* Link Unfurling (Preview Links) in Google Slides™
This includes a new OAuth scope “drive.file” which allows the add-on to insert/update content within specific docs and slides.

SUMMARY
This add-on enables users to discover and integrate Tableau content, such as views and Pulse metrics, directly into Google Docs™ and Google Slides™. You can search for specific content or paste a Tableau link into the search bar to see a preview and select an insertion point. Additionally, the add-on facilitates seamless data transfer between Tableau Cloud and Google Sheets™, allowing users to import data from views, custom views, dashboards, and data sources into their existing workflows.

HOW IT WORKS
This add-on works by using Tableau's REST API to fetch metadata from your Tableau Cloud or Server environment. In order to authenticate to Tableau and make those REST API calls, please follow the setup guide to create a Tableau Connected App and save the details using the Configuration button at the bottom of the add-on. You will need a Tableau Cloud admin to complete this setup, but once it's finished any licensed Tableau user can use the add-on. The add-on automatically signs into your Tableau environment using the email address of the logged in Google Workspace user, and inherits the existing Tableau site permissions provided to that user. Full details and links are available in the setup guide.

REQUIREMENTS
