  • Manage External Client Apps Directly in Tableau Next
    Create and manage External Client Apps (ECA) directly in the flow of your Tableau Next work. Reduce workflow friction by managing the authentication settings necessary for external embedding without leaving your Tableau Next admin flow. For example, quickly generate and copy a new client secret needed to embed a dashboard into your third-party app.
  • Embed the Analytics and Visualization Agent in Your External Apps
    Use the AnalyticsAgent component in the Tableau Next Embedding SDK to embed the Analytics and Visualization Agent in your third-party web apps. This agent helps your users see and understand data with conversational analytics. The agent generates natural language insights, visualizations, and proactive alerts in your flow of work. For example, a customer service agent working in an external help desk system can ask, “Show me the average handle time for escalated cases this month,” and receive an immediate chart without leaving the app.
