Inputs

  • Poll Times — Schedule timings specifying when the poll should occur, supporting modes like every minute, hour, day, week, month, custom cron, or every X minutes/hours.
  • Source (required) — Select the Tableau object to query each poll cycle: either a published datasource via VizQL Data Service or a Tableau view with CSV data.
  • View (required) — If 'View' is selected as source, specify the Tableau view to query by selecting from a list or entering its LUID.
  • Variable Filters — Optional variable filters (field name and value pairs) applied as query parameters to the view data retrieval.
  • Datasource (required) — If 'Datasource' is selected as source, specify the Tableau published datasource to query by selecting from a list or entering its LUID.
  • Query (required) — JSON query object for VizQL Data Service, defining fields, filters, and parameters to retrieve from the datasource.
  • Condition (required) — Condition type to decide whether data polling should fire: 'Any Rows Returned' or 'Row Count Threshold' comparing the row count with a numeric threshold.
  • Operator — Comparison operator for 'Row Count Threshold' condition, e.g., greater than, equal, less than, etc.
  • Threshold — Numeric threshold for row count comparison used when 'Row Count Threshold' condition is selected.
  • Emit (required) — Choose output format when triggering: emit one workflow item per returned row or a single summary item containing all rows and metadata.

Output shape

a list of workflow items representing the polled Tableau data rows or a single summary item containing row count and rows

Polling runs on configured schedule ('Poll Times'). Depending on 'Condition' and data returned from Tableau, the node triggers the workflow. Outputs vary by 'Emit' mode: either one item per row or one summary item containing all data under a "rows" key.
