Create an Alteryx Connect Add-In for Tableau

Would be good to create an Alteryx Connect plugin for Tableau so that you can access Connect from Tableau?  Would improve user experience if the user can access the information catalog without leaving their BI tool.  So for example, have an Alteryx Connect sidebar in Tableau to allow you to search for a table or file then click and add as a data source and immediately start data discovery/analysis.

Isn't it something that should be rather developed in Tableau?

Connect's competitors, e.g. Alation, Waterline, have built add-ins for Tableau to do just this.  If Connect want to keep up they'll have to do the same.

Agreed, even Informatica  have a plug-in for Tableau that pulls up a side bar to the EDC glossary.  Definitely one that Altyerxy should be looking at

This is a great idea and will add so much value for users.

Hi, I'm moving this into Not Planned stage. We have done some research and found out that this is more of a "tech partner" specific request than a job for the Connect team. Connect provides APIs that could be utilised in this project.
