Finally, users must select the Analytics and Visualization agent from Agentforce in Tableau Next. Then to create an alert, open a Tableau Next metric, and open the Agentforce panel by clicking the Agentforce icon. Using natural language, ask Agentforce to send you an alert when a specified metric meets a certain condition, for example “Send me an alert when this metric reaches 10,000.”
