What Makes Tableau Pulse Essential for Salesforce Admins?

You should subscribe for the full episode, but here are a few takeaways from our conversation with John Demby.

Getting to know Tableau Pulse and Tableau Einstein

John leads a team of demo engineers for Tableau. What that means is they get their hands on all the new solutions and products ahead of time, and use them to make cool things. And two of the coolest, newest things out there are Tableau Pulse and Tableau Einstein.

Tableau Einstein takes all of the goodness of Tableau, the powerful features of Data Cloud, a new semantic layer called Tableau Semantics, and brings that into Salesforce. There's also a Tableau Agent, allowing you to open up the power of business intelligence and analytics to everyone on your team through Agentforce.

Introduction to Tableau Pulse

"We started thinking about how people consume data," John says, "and I think it's changed." People want to consume data within the flow of their work. They don't want to have to go looking around for things, or sift through multiple dashboards to figure out what information is relevant.

That's where Tableau Pulse comes in. It provides contextual, relevant insights from your data directly into Salesforce. With a simple KPI scorecard, you and your users can see what metrics are up, what metrics are down, and get insights about the next steps you should take.

AI-infused and ready to share

The scorecards Tableau Pulse provides are just the beginning because you can also ask it questions. Pulse is AI-infused, meaning you can ask plain language questions to generate specific insights about your data. It's also built for collaboration, so it's easy to take these insights and start a conversation with anyone else in your organization.

Getting Tableau Pulse is as easy as installing a managed package in your Salesforce instance. "We've made it really for a Salesforce Admin to set this up with little to no Tableau experience," John says. There are nine premade dashboards to get you started, and it's easy to customize things to get something that works for you.

John shares a lot more great stuff about Tableau Pulse and Tableau Einstein, so be sure to take a listen. And don't forget to subscribe to the Salesforce Admins Podcast so you never miss an episode.
