Extensions API
With our Extensions API, developers can create dashboard extensions that enable customers to integrate and interact with data from other applications directly in Tableau.
Use Cases:
- Create an extension that has write-back functionality, so users can modify data in a viz and have that change automatically update the source data in the data base or web application
- Build custom viz and interactivity types such as a filter replacement with a custom interface and network diagram
- Integrate 3rd party functionality inside the dashboard
Benefits:
- Interact with data from other business applications directly in Tableau
- Customize Tableau's Desktop environment for a specific team's workflow
Level of Support: Tableau-supported once released
