The Tableau Extensions API allows developers to create extensions for Tableau. Tableau extensions are web applications that can interact and communicate with Tableau. A dashboard extension can be placed in the dashboard like any other dashboard object. A viz extension creates new viz types that Tableau users can access through the worksheet Marks card.
