Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and Tableau

Put Fishbowl Manufacturing's records into Tableau as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Tableau computes back where Fishbowl Manufacturing can use them.

Tableau is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Fishbowl Manufacturing, so Fishbowl Manufacturing always reflects the current state of Tableau — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether Fishbowl Manufacturing carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Tableau, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read site Users and their site roles for periodic access reviews and to reconcile Tableau accounts against an HR or IdP source of record.
  • 02 Read Databases, Tables, and Fields from the Metadata API to populate a data catalog with Tableau lineage and column definitions.
  • 03 Sync e-commerce orders into Fishbowl as sales orders and return fulfillment status and tracking numbers.
  • 04 Mirror on-hand inventory by location into sales channels to prevent overselling.

Common sync patterns

Where Fishbowl Manufacturing is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis

Worker and organization data from Fishbowl Manufacturing syncs into Tableau for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

Write-back where Fishbowl Manufacturing exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Tableau sync onto the matching records in Fishbowl Manufacturing, so operations act on what the analysis found.

Where Fishbowl Manufacturing holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data

Financial records from Fishbowl Manufacturing land in Tableau as they change, so revenue, margin, and spend dashboards read current figures rather than last night's export.

What you can sync between Fishbowl Manufacturing and Tableau

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Fishbowl Manufacturing objects Tableau objects How this pairing syncs
Locations Warehouses and location groups that partition inventory quantities. Views Worksheets and dashboards inside workbooks; their data and crosstab export as CSV via the REST query-view-data endpoint. Locations is specific to Fishbowl Manufacturing and Views to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Parts The inventory-tracked entity; stock levels and costing hang off parts. Projects Folders that organize content and set permissions; listed via REST to mirror the site's content hierarchy into a catalog. Parts is specific to Fishbowl Manufacturing and Projects to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products The sellable entity linked to parts; external SKUs usually map here. Users Site users with site roles and group membership; read via REST for access reviews and to reconcile identities against an HR or IdP source. Products is specific to Fishbowl Manufacturing and Users to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory Quantity by part and location, mirrored out to sales channels to prevent overselling. Databases and Tables External assets indexed by Tableau Catalog; queried via the Metadata API GraphQL endpoint for lineage and impact analysis. Inventory is specific to Fishbowl Manufacturing and Databases and Tables to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Created from commerce or CRM systems; fulfillment status syncs back. Extract Refresh Tasks Scheduled extract refreshes; status and history read via REST, with DatasourceRefreshSucceeded and Failed events delivered by webhooks. Sales orders is specific to Fishbowl Manufacturing and Extract Refresh Tasks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Pushed from procurement tools; receipts sync back on arrival. Fields and Columns Columns and calculated fields with their descriptions, exposed by the Metadata API; read to populate a data catalog with governed definitions. Purchase orders is specific to Fishbowl Manufacturing and Fields and Columns to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Fishbowl Manufacturing and Tableau

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Fishbowl Manufacturing Tableau Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Fishbowl Manufacturing for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-modified fields.

DeliveryTableau does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Tableau's output flows back as field updates on the originating Fishbowl Manufacturing records.

Tableau Fishbowl Manufacturing Sub-second propagation

DetectionTableau notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Fishbowl Manufacturing through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Fishbowl Manufacturing: Practical throughput is bounded by the Fishbowl server instance rather than a published quota.
  • Tableau: Tableau Cloud enforces per-site REST rate limits and returns HTTP 429; a PAT allows only one concurrent session and expires after 15 consecutive days of non-use.
