Frequently asked
questions.

What could an Ambacti integration do with Tableau?

The documented operations include Authentication: Get an authentication token; Authentication: Sign out; Data Source: Delete a data source; Data Source: Download a data source.

Could I keep a workflow read-only?

For a read-only workflow, limit account permissions to reading data and exclude actions that create, update, or delete records.

Will every action run automatically?

Choose which steps could run on their own and which should pause for review. Changes should follow the permissions and approval rules you set.

Do I need to review actions in Tableau?

Decide which work could run on its own and which steps need your review.
