How to integrate Airtable to Tableau (detailed guide)
Log into your Coupler.io account or create one. Then, build the Airtable Tableau integration flow by setting up an importer. Note that each importer can export a single view from Airtable.
The good news is that importer creation and subsequent setup procedures take only several minutes in Coupler.io. Just proceed with the three-step detailed instructions provided below.
Step 1: Get a share link to your Airtable view
First of all, you will need to get a link to the Airtable view. For that, click Share and sync in your Airtable account.
In the Coupler.io importer, during the source settings stage, insert this link to the Shared URL field. If your Airtable view is password-protected, you’ll need to enter it in the corresponding field.
Once all the settings for the Airtable source are configured, click FINISH & PROCEED to go to the next step.
Step 2: Organize & transform data
Your Airtable data isn’t 100% ready for analysis after extraction. So, you might apply some transformations on data before loading it into Tableau.
Coupler.io has a built-in transformation module with a variety of options for data manipulation and management:
The transformation functions are available to users with any subscription type. You can apply these data management and manipulation options for any integration scenario.
Step 3: Load and schedule refresh
Before loading your Airtable data to Tableau, you’ll need to take some actions in the destination settings within Coupler.io importer and Tableau itself.
Open the Tableau desktop application, and go to More... -> Web Data Connector. Type https://app.coupler.io/tools/tableau in the Web Data field.
In the Destination tab of Coupler.io importer, generate the integration link and copy it.
In the Tableau desktop, enter this integration URL in the respective field. Click Get Data and see how your Airtable data flows to Tableau.
It also makes sense to set up an automatic refresh schedule to automate the Airtable Tableau integration. This way, you can minimize manual intervention and ensure your reports are always up-to-date.
