Why teams connect Tableau and Unleashed Software

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

Tableau is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Unleashed Software, so Unleashed Software 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 Unleashed Software 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 Databases, Tables, and Fields from the Metadata API to populate a data catalog with Tableau lineage and column definitions.
  • 02 Mirror the Projects and Workbooks content hierarchy into an internal catalog so teams discover dashboards from a central index.
  • 03 Push Sales Orders from a storefront or CRM into Unleashed for fulfillment without re-keying.
  • 04 Keep Products and pricing aligned between Unleashed and accounting or PIM systems.

Common sync patterns

Write-back where Unleashed Software exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

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

Where Unleashed Software holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data

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

Where Unleashed Software runs order-to-cash: customer and account analytics

Orders, invoices, and account records from Unleashed Software join the behavioral and usage data Tableau already tracks, so customer analysis spans activity and dollars in one view.

What you can sync between Tableau and Unleashed Software

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.

Tableau objects Unleashed Software objects How this pairing syncs
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 Inbound supply orders synced for procurement visibility. Fields and Columns is specific to Tableau and Purchase Orders to Unleashed Software — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Published Data Sources Published data sources (.tdsx); their underlying rows are read via the VizQL Data Service, and refresh state is tracked through content webhooks. Customers Buyer records with pricing tiers and delivery addresses. Published Data Sources is specific to Tableau and Customers to Unleashed Software — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workbooks Workbook content and metadata read via the REST and Metadata APIs; create, update, and delete events fire webhooks for change detection. Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. Workbooks is specific to Tableau and Suppliers to Unleashed Software — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Worksheets and dashboards inside workbooks; their data and crosstab export as CSV via the REST query-view-data endpoint. Warehouses Stock locations that scope inventory quantities and order fulfillment. Views is specific to Tableau and Warehouses to Unleashed Software — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Folders that organize content and set permissions; listed via REST to mirror the site's content hierarchy into a catalog. Stock Adjustments Manual quantity or value corrections synced for audit and reporting. Projects is specific to Tableau and Stock Adjustments to Unleashed Software — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Bills of Materials Production definitions used by assemblies; relevant for manufacturers syncing production data. Users is specific to Tableau and Bills of Materials to Unleashed Software — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Tableau and Unleashed Software

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.

Tableau Unleashed Software 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 Unleashed Software through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Unleashed Software Tableau Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Unleashed Software for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with modified-date filters on list endpoints.

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 Unleashed Software records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Unleashed Software: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; paginate list endpoints and batch where possible.
