# Integrate Tableau analytics

Zilliant allows you to embed Tableau analytics for a Zilliant product into any end user system. After [prepping](/v1/docs/prep-for-analytics-integration), follow one of two approaches for the analytics integration:

- [Configure Zilliant’s **Visual Analytics Dashboard** Lightning component](/v1/docs/integrate-tableau-analytics#integrate-with-the-visual-analytics-dashboard) to display Tableau analytics on any page. Perform this during integration into Salesforce.
- [Integrate with Zilliant’s Report API](/v1/docs/integrate-tableau-analytics#integrate-with-report-api) to return the web address for a Tableau view with a one-time trusted ticket.

## Integrate with the Visual Analytics Dashboard

During integration into Salesforce, you can choose to configure the **Visual Analytics Dashboard** Lightning component to display Tableau analytics on any page. Each instance of this Lightning component in a page includes the following configuration parameters:

- **Workbook**—Name of the Tableau workbook. Must not include spaces.
- **View**—Name of the Tableau view. Must not include spaces.
- **Dashboard Parameter 1-3**—Field or parameter name in the Tableau workbook.
- **sObject Field 1-3**—API name of the sObject field passed into the corresponding **Dashboard Parameter**. This only applies when using the component on a Salesforce page.
- **Dashboard User Info Parameter 1**—Field or parameter name in the Tableau workbook.
- **User Info Field 1**—API name of the sObject field passed into **Dashboard User Info Parameter 1**. This name varies based on the user currently viewing the page.
- **Height**—Height of the Tableau dashboard when rendered on the page. Measured in pixels.

For example, if a record page contains:

- The field “zpf__CustomerId__c” with a value of *3000519*
- The field “Name” with the value of *Printer Paper | Heavy Weight Paper*

Then configure the **Visual Analytics Dashboard** Lightning component with:

- The **Workbook** value of *SalesIQActionAnalytics*
- The **View** value of *XSWSMoneyMap*
- The **Dashboard Parameter 1** value of *CustomerId*
- The **sObject Field 1** value of *zpf__CustomerId__c*
- The **Dashboard Parameter 2** value of *ProductGroupParameter*
- The **sObject Field 2** value of *Name*

Zilliant then constructs the following web address to return the corresponding view from the Tableau server:

`https://<server_name>//trusted/<trustedticket>/t/<sitename> /views/SalesIQActionAnalytics/XSWSMoneyMap?:embed=yes&:refresh&:toolbar=no&:tabs=no&CustomerId=3000519&ProductGroupParameter=Printer+Paper+%7C+Heavy+Weight+Paper&noUserParameters`

## Integrate with Report API

During integration into any end user system, Zilliant allows you to request the Report API to return the web address for a Tableau view. This address comes with a one-time use trusted ticket.

The basic syntax for a GET request to the Report API is:

```
GET {{ApiUrl}}/platform/Report/v1/[workbookName]/[viewName]?[queryParameters]
```

Replace `[workbookName]`, `[viewName]`, and `[queryParameters]` (including brackets) with the desired workbook name, view name, and query parameters.

          For example,

          

The GET request: `GET {{ReportApiUrl}}/platform/Report/v1/SalesIQActionAnalytics/XSWSMoneyMap?:embed=yes&:toolbar=no&:tabs=no&CustomerId=3001119`

Returns the web address: `https://<server_name>//trusted/<trustedticket>/t/<sitename>/views/SalesIQActionAnalytics/XSWSMoneyMap?:embed=yes&:refresh&%3Aembed=yes&%3Atoolbar=no&%3Atabs=no&CustomerId=3001119`
