Connect Tableau to Google BigQuery

Move data between Tableau and Google BigQuery the moment it happens. Build the flow visually, or let AI write it for you, then run it on our cloud or your own infrastructure.

What you can build with Tableau and Google BigQuery

A few flows teams run between Tableau and Google BigQuery. Use one as a starting point, or build your own from scratch.

  • Workbook Event in Tableau creates Run a Query in Google BigQuery

    Triggers when a workbook event occurs (created, updated, or deleted)

  • New Row in Google BigQuery creates Download View in Tableau

    Triggers when a new row is added to a BigQuery table. Polls every 5 minutes by comparing the latest value in a sort column against the previous check.

  • Workbook Event in Tableau creates Create Row in Google BigQuery

    Triggers when a workbook event occurs (created, updated, or deleted)

  • New Row in Google BigQuery creates Run Extract Refresh Task in Tableau

    Triggers when a new row is added to a BigQuery table. Polls every 5 minutes by comparing the latest value in a sort column against the previous check.

  • Workbook Event in Tableau creates Create Rows in Google BigQuery

    Triggers when a workbook event occurs (created, updated, or deleted)

  • New Row in Google BigQuery creates Refresh Workbook in Tableau

    Triggers when a new row is added to a BigQuery table. Polls every 5 minutes by comparing the latest value in a sort column against the previous check.

Questions, answered

No. Pick a trigger on either piece and an action on the other, map the fields, and turn the flow on. Add a code step later only if you want to.

Yes. Build one flow that starts in Tableau and acts in Google BigQuery, and a second that runs the other way, in the same project.

On our EU cloud in Frankfurt, or self-hosted on your own infrastructure with Docker or Kubernetes. The MIT-licensed core means there is always an exit.
