Summary

Receive and process POST requests from the Autom8 Tableau dashboard extension, outputting the included data for use in downstream workflow nodes.

Inputs

  • Authentication — Choose 'Bearer Token' to require a Bearer token on incoming requests for authentication, or 'None' for no authentication.
  • Webhook Path (required) — Define the unique URL path segment that Tableau will POST its data to.
  • Respond (required) — Select when and how to respond to Tableau: immediately upon request receipt or after the last node finishes, returning the last node's first entry JSON.
  • Include Metadata — Optionally include request metadata (dashboard_name, dashboard_id, timestamp, user) as fields on every output item.
  • Pass Through Raw Body — If enabled, output the full unmodified request body as a single item instead of processed rows, useful for debugging.

Output shape

a list of JSON items representing the rows of data received from Tableau, each with keys converted to snake_case; or a single JSON item with the raw request body if pass-through raw is enabled.

Output includes additional metadata and additional_data fields flattened and merged if 'Include Metadata' is enabled. Respond option controls when the webhook sends a response back to Tableau. If authentication is set to Bearer Token, the incoming request must include a matching token or the request is rejected with a 401 Unauthorized status.
