Tableau Overview#

The Tableau API allows you to tap into the robust data visualization and business intelligence capabilities of Tableau. Within Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate reporting, manage users, update data sources, and extract insights. This enables you to integrate Tableau's analytics with other services, streamlining your data workflows and ensuring your dashboards remain up-to-date with minimal manual effort.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/webhook.mjs";
import events from "../common/events.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "tableau-label-created-instant",
  name: "New Label Created (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a label is created in Tableau. [See the documentation](https://help.tableau.com/current/developer/webhooks/en-us/docs/webhooks-events-payload.html)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookName() {
      return "label-creation";
    },
    getEventName() {
      return events.LABEL_CREATED;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.resource_luid,
        summary: `New Label: ${resource.resource_luid}`,
        ts: Date.parse(resource.created_at),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Tableau	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Tableau app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Site ID	`siteId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Tableau uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Tableau account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Tableau and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Tableau API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Action Code#

import mysql from "../../mysql.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mysql-execute-raw-query",
  name: "Execute SQL Query",
  description: "Execute a custom MySQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.",
  type: "action",
  version: "2.0.1",
  props: {
    mysql,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description
    sql: {
      type: "sql",
      auth: {
        app: "mysql",
      },
      label: "SQL Query",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const args = this.mysql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
    const data = await this.mysql.executeQuery(args);
    $.export("$summary", `Returned ${data.length} ${data.length === 1
      ? "row"
      : "rows"}`);
    return data;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

Label	Prop	Type	Description
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
SQL Query	`sql`	`sql`

Action Authentication#

MySQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MySQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MySQL APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your MySQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
