SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires snowflake-snowpark-python, requests.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the manual bottleneck of exporting Tableau datasource extracts to CSV by hand, enabling automated, repeatable data pipelines directly into Snowflake.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct VDS Integration: Uses the VizQL Data Service API to pull data directly from published Tableau datasources into Snowflake tables.
  • Automated Scheduling: Supports Snowflake Tasks for recurring refreshes, ensuring your downstream Sigma workbooks always have fresh data.
  • Use Case: A data analyst needs to move a large, complex sales dataset from a published Tableau datasource into a Snowflake table for high-performance modeling in Sigma without manual CSV exports.

Quick Start

Use the tableau-vds-to-snowflake skill to extract the specified datasource from Tableau and load it into a new Snowflake table using the provided LUID and field configuration.
