Improve Collaboration with the Tableau Add-on for Google Workspace

Learn how the enhanced integration enables you to easily embed Tableau insights within Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Sheets.

In today’s digital world, collaborative, data-driven decision-making is essential for successful business outcomes. Many organizations rely on Tableau for analytics and Google Workspace for collaboration, but jumping between applications can be cumbersome and inefficient. Manually exporting visuals and updating slides or documents slows down the ability to track and take action on key insights.

During Devs on Stage at Tableau Conference 2025, we introduced a new integration between Tableau and Google Workspace that makes it easier than ever to bring data and insights to daily business workflows.

Tableau integrated directly within Google Workspace

The Tableau Add-on for Google Workspace is available today for free in the Google Workspace Marketplace! It unlocks the ability for customers to embed Tableau Pulse metrics and dashboards directly within Workspace apps. It’s available today for Google Slides and Google Docs, with Google Sheets slated for a future release.

Simplified data access for every user

The new Tableau integration for Google Workspace empowers users across all skill levels to seamlessly access critical insights directly within Google Sheets and Google Slides. Whether it’s executives reviewing their daily Tableau Pulse metrics, analysts crafting comprehensive briefings, or business users making decisions in the field, this integration democratizes data access by enabling everyone to browse, discover, and embed Tableau content natively within their everyday workflows.

The embedded insights are powered by Google's Smartchip technology, which creates a powerful feedback loop allowing users to transition effortlessly from Google Workspace back to Tableau when deeper analysis is needed.

Real-time insights where work happens

The native integration streamlines analytics workflows by eliminating the traditional barriers between the two platforms. With the powerful one-click refresh feature, all embedded Tableau dashboards and Pulse metrics are updated on demand, ensuring decisions always reflect the latest data without platform switching or manual updates. This seamless experience bridges the gap between analytics and action, empowering teams to collaborate with trusted, data-driven insights.

Streamlined data governance & security

Users can authenticate with Tableau directly within Google Workspace, creating a personalized user experience that respects existing security protocols, while eliminating app friction. The app leverages Tableau permissions, ensuring users only see the content relevant to them. This eliminates risky workarounds like screenshots or manual exports that potentially expose sensitive data, resulting in a secure analytics experience that maintains data integrity. With secure, seamless, and real-time insights, the Tableau App for Google Workspace makes data more accessible at the point of decision making.
