In this on-demand webinar, our client Nutanix, enterprise cloud computing leader, gives a first-hand account of how it is able to progress and close opportunities faster by embedding Tableau visualizations directly into Salesforce. Combining data from both Salesforce and external data sources, the embedded Tableau vizzes give the Nutanix sales team at-a-glance access to customer insights without ever leaving the Salesforce UI.
We demo how
- You can embed Tableau securely directly into Salesforce
- Tableau allows you to bring any data back into Salesforce
- Users maintain context while navigating Salesforce screens, such as accounts and opportunities
Your sales team lives in Salesforce. Learn how to give them access to all the important data they need using interactive visualizations appearing directly within their favorite tool.
On September 22, 2020, Salesforce released the Tableau Visualization Lightning Web Component. This easy to configure Salesforce app enables the same functionality as the legacy approach, but in a vendor supported implementation package.
Below is the legacy approach to implementing a Tableau and Salesforce integration before those two companies merged. This page is provided for legacy reference purposes.
