Tableau Pulse FAQ

Tableau Pulse is a reimagined data experience for people who don’t typically spend their days in dashboards. Pulse provides business users with timely and relevant insights, enabling them to make informed decisions quickly. It sends personalised digests so they have the metrics and insights they need, when they need them. Tableau Pulse auto-generates natural language summaries of relevant trends, forecasts, and outliers in the business, and it helps business users understand the “why” behind a metric by allowing questions in a conversational UI.

Tableau Pulse makes insights available and understandable to everyone in the organisation—beyond just analysts and data scientists. It allows organisations to foster a thriving data culture and empower business users to make better decisions with data. Tableau Pulse transforms how people engage with their data, helping everyone integrate data into their everyday work in more meaningful ways. The AI analytics tool significantly helps users who don’t have time to learn new tools, need data at their fingertips to make decisions quickly, and want to go beyond the “how” and “what” of data to understand the “why.”

Instead of requiring people to search for metrics, Tableau Pulse’s ‘push’ delivery model enables business users to follow the metrics that matter to them and receive personalised, contextual, and smart content.

Organisations can use Tableau Pulse to answer their business users' common questions while keeping them in the loop on important changes to relevant metrics, driving better data-driven business decisions. This proactive approach helps drive the adoption of analytics above and beyond what can be accomplished by dashboards alone and increases data’s yield and impact on the business.

Tableau Pulse is generally available now in Tableau Cloud. Tableau Pulse is included out-of-the-box with all Tableau Cloud editions and Embedded Analytics. For customers on Tableau Server, we are committed to helping them manage migrations from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud smoothly and efficiently.

Pulse for Salesforce is an add-on that empowers organisations to get even more value from Salesforce with AI-powered insights infused in their CRM. It accelerates data-driven decision-making with purpose-built sales, service, and key CRM metrics to understand drivers, uncover trends, and discover opportunities. It enables business decision-makers to take action fast with AI-powered, personalised, and contextual insights directly in Salesforce when they need them. Only Pulse for Salesforce can shorten time to value with streamlined provisioning and configuration so you can start delivering insights to everyone.

Tableau Pulse makes it easier for business users to stay on top of their metrics, providing AI-powered insights to make data-driven decisions. If you have Tableau Cloud, you get Tableau Pulse in addition to the default capabilities of Tableau Cloud Platform.

If you want to quickly jumpstart your analytics journey, Pulse for Salesforce is a great entry point for the Tableau Pulse experience with pre-built Pulse metrics just for CRM. It offers a Lightning Web Components (LWC) wizard that automates Salesforce's integration with Tableau, a managed package so administrators can install, update, and manage Tableau Pulse, and out-of-the-box sales metrics. Pulse for Salesforce does not provide the access to create visualisations, dashboards, or the extensive analytics capabilities that comes with Tableau Cloud.
