Tableau api integration

Hey everyone! I was wondering if there’s anyone else interested in integrating Tableau with n8n.

My personal need is that i would like to download a PDF of a specific Dashboard on a daily basis and then send it by email to a list of people. However, tableau is quite rigid in that sense, so automating it with n8n would be awesome.

There’s a similar feature un Google’s Looker Studio to send reports on a specific schedule, to understand the need.

Thanks yo everyone who reads this!

@Sebastian_Arias,

That would be an interesting feature. For now, do you use a custom python script? You can run it from n8n if you self host.

Best,

Hi Robert, thanks for the reply.

n8n has been my first option, so now i guess i’ll have to develop a custom python script for it.

Another cool thing would be to be able to run python scripts as nodes. The feel should be like running them on VS Code, just like any other IDE.

Do you have any resources to run python scripts locally? I’m hosting n8n via Hostinger’s VPS and I don’t have any experience with this.

Thanks!!

Sebastian

Hi @Sebastian_Arias
There is a node called “Execute Command” on the self hosted version. Save a .py file on the local machine and run it as a step.

Best,

Robert
