Authentication → Get Token
AI-generatedSummary
Authenticate to Tableau and return a sign-in token for subsequent Tableau operations. Choose Connected App (JWT) or Personal Access Token; Connected App authentication can optionally impersonate another user when permitted.
Inputs
- authentication (required) — Select Connected App (JWT) or Personal Access Token. Defaults to Connected App (JWT).
- impersonateUsername — For Connected App authentication only, optionally authenticate as this Tableau username. Requires site administrator privileges; leave blank to use the credential's default username.
- retryOnFail — As a node setting, optionally retry when the operation fails; available when used as an AI Agent tool.
- maxTries — Maximum retry attempts (2–5; default 3), shown when retry is enabled for an AI Agent tool.
- waitBetweenTries — Delay between retry attempts in milliseconds (0–60000; default 1000), shown when retry is enabled for an AI Agent tool.
- onErrorContinue — As a node setting, optionally return the error as output data instead of failing; available when used as an AI Agent tool.
