## Overview

Tableau Software is an interactive data visualization provider that allows users to query relational databases, online analytical processing cubes, cloud databases, and spreadsheets to generate graph-type data visualizations.

The Tableau activities enable you to automate interactions with your Tableau application. Using the [Tableau API](https://help.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api.htm), this activities package gives your UiPath robot(s) the ability to execute functions and actions.
