Connect to Tableau

Determine the domain and site content URL

  1. Log in to Tableau and navigate to the homepage.
  2. Note the full URL in your browser address bar. It should have the following format: https://<domain>/#/site/<site_content_URL>/home
  3. Enter the domain (ex. abc.tableau.com) and site_content_URL values into their respective text boxes.
    1. If you are on the default site (i.e. the URL looks like https://<domain>/#/site/#/home), leave site_content_URL empty.
  4. The text box for the webhook base URL should already be populated. Verify that it looks correct.

Generate a personal access token

Note: these steps must be done from an account with the Server Administrator, Site Administor Creator, or Site Administator Explorer site role.

  1. In Tableau, navigate to My Account Settings and then to the Personal Access Tokens section of the Settings tab.
  2. Create a new token. Save the token secret somewhere secure since it is only displayed once in the Tableau UI.
  3. Enter the token name and token secret into their respective text boxes.
  4. Click Save in Glean. You’re all set! If you would like to connect additional Tableau sites with Glean, please contact the Glean engineer helping you with your deployment for assistance.
