Summary

Publish a Tableau Prep flow file (.tfl or .tflx) from an input item's binary data to a specified project. The operation supports Connected App (JWT) or Personal Access Token authentication; Connected App authentication can optionally impersonate a user.

Inputs

  • Authentication — Choose Connected App (JWT), the default, or Personal Access Token.
  • Impersonate User — For Connected App authentication, optionally authenticate as another Tableau user. The UI notes that this requires site administrator privileges.
  • Input Binary Field (required) — Binary property containing the flow file to upload; defaults to data.
  • Flow Name (required) — Name to assign to the published flow.
  • Project ID (required) — LUID of the Tableau project to publish into.
  • Description — Optional flow description.
  • File Name — Optional upload filename override; include a .tfl or .tflx extension. The UI says it defaults to the binary field's filename.
  • Overwrite — Whether to replace a flow with the same name in the same project; defaults to false.

Output shape

A single record or records representing the published flow.

The supplied source pack does not include the publish implementation body, so the precise returned fields and whether output is one record per input item cannot be confirmed.
