Turn hindsight into foresight with proactive intelligence features in Tableau Next.
With data alerting, you stay on top of changes to your data, whether it’s progress to a goal,
month-over-month changes, or any change in your dataset. Data alerts help you monitor what you
know and care about while autonomous insights help you anticipate important events you might not
have been looking for—all while spending less time asking questions and searching dashboards for
answers.

Or create scheduled alerts for specific events from a Tableau Next metric.

Create alerts to monitor a metric’s progress towards a goal or threshold, to look out for unusual changes, or to watch period-over-period changes. When you create a metric alert in Tableau Next, notifications are sent to your email and appear under the notifications icon (bell) in Tableau Next.
- Get Custom Data Alerts in Slack with Agentforce in Tableau Next or Tableau Next MCP
Receive alerts about your queries for your data or for custom metric alerts by using Tableau Next Model Context Protocol (MCP) in Slack, or ask Agentforce to alert you when specific conditions are met. To create alerts for queries about your semantic data model (SDM), make sure that you have access to the SDM.
