Subject: 403 Forbidden Error When Embedding Google Trends URL via Web Page Object in Tableau Cloud

Hi Team,

I am a Tableau Engineer currently developing a dashboard on Tableau Cloud. Our client has requested a feature to embed a specific Google Trends explore page directly within the dashboard layout using the "Web Page" object.

Target URL to Embed: https://trends.google.co.kr/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=spf30,spf40,spf50
Issue Encountered: When the dashboard renders, the Web Page object fails to display the Google Trends interface and instead throws a "403. That’s an error. Sorry, that page is not accessible." message.

[Our Assessment] We suspect this is caused by Google's server-side security policies (e.g., X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN or strict Content-Security-Policy directives) preventing their pages from being iframe-embedded into third-party domains like Tableau Cloud.

[Questions for Support]

Is there any native configuration or workaround within Tableau Cloud (such as Safe URL settings or custom extensions) that allows bypassing or resolving this 403 error for restricted external sites like Google Trends?
If direct embedding via the Web Page object is technically blocked by the target host's security headers, what is the officially recommended best practice for integrating live Google Trends data?
Would utilizing the Google Trends API via a Web Data Connector (WDC) or an External Authorization/Analytics Extension be the right architecture to fetch and visualize this data natively within Tableau?

Looking forward to your guidance on how to fulfill this client requirement.

Technical Feasibility and Embedding Issue for Multi-Site / Multi-Brand Tableau Cloud Dashboards into a Single Portal

Hi Team,

I am a Tableau Engineer designing an enterprise-level dashboard architecture for a client with multiple brands. I would like to consult on technical feasibility and a specific cross-site embedding issue we are facing.

[Current Scenario & Requirements]

Main Site: The core client has a primary Tableau Cloud site (Site A) and a centralized web portal.

Brand Expansion: The client wants to create completely separated Tableau Cloud sites for their individual sub-brands (Site B, Site C, etc.) for data isolation and independent governance.

The Goal: The client wants to embed dashboards from these disparate sub-brand sites (Site B, C) into the single portal hosted/authenticated primarily via the Main Site (Site A) environment, so users can view multiple brands' dashboards from one single pane of glass.

[Technical Issue Encountered]

Success Case: When I embed dashboards that belong to the same Tableau Cloud site as the portal's session context, it renders perfectly.

Failure Case: When I try to embed a dashboard originating from a different Tableau Cloud site (e.g., trying to render Site B's viz while authenticated on Site A's domain context), the viz fails to load, showing an "

prod-kr-a.online.tableau.com

에서 연결을 거부했습니다." error message.

[Questions for Support]

Does Tableau Cloud natively support embedding visualizations from multiple different sites/pods into a single web application page simultaneously?

Looking forward to your expert guidance.

Best regards,

I am not completely 100% sure, but you may give a try using Unified Access Tokens:

Embedding Tableau into Google Slides seems buggy

I have downloaded the Tableau extension and embedded my dashboard into my slides - I have tried using both the url and view feature - both are very slow and when use the data refresh button, it often fails. Is this a known issue? I really like the concept of the feature but in reality I am having a hard time getting it to work.

Also, I have set up a specific view that I want to embed but once it embeds it changes the axis - e.g I have set my axis to show the dates as Apr 26 etc but when it embeds it changes this to be April 26 and puts some of the longer dates across 2 lines - why does it do this?

thanks!

Hi,Eleanor Hunt

It seems that embedding Tableau dashboards into Google Slides isn’t very stable at the moment. I’ve seen similar reports where the extension loads slowly or the refresh action fails quite often. I’m not aware of any official statement calling this a known issue, but the behavior does feel inconsistent in practice.

Regarding the axis changing after embedding, this might happen because Google Slides adjusts the frame size, and Tableau then reflows the axis labels based on the available space. When the embedded view becomes smaller than the original dashboard, long date labels can wrap or shift unexpectedly.

Use a fixed-size dashboard in Tableau
Increase the frame size in Google Slides if possible
Shorten the date format (e.g., “Apr 26” instead of a long format)
If stability is important, consider embedding the view in a regular web page instead of Google Slides — that tends to behave more reliably
The concept of embedding into Slides is great, but in its current state it may still be a bit sensitive depending on the dashboard and environment.

Embedded Dashboards in an Iframe Don't Show on Sharepoint on Chrome

I've embedded a dashboard on our SharePoint site using an iframe

When using Chrome the dashboards don't show up at all. Looking at the developer console I see these errors. In IE they do show up fine.

Mixed Content: The page at 'https: //SHAREPOINTSITE/teams/TEAMSITE/SitePages/Tableau%20Challenge%20Page.aspx?PageView=Shared&InitialTabId=Ribbon.WebPartPage&VisibilityContext=WSSWebPartPage' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure frame 'http: //TABLEAUSERVER/vizportal/api/web/v1/auth/signin?path=%2Ft%2FSITE%2Fviews%2FWORKBOOK%2FDASHBOARD%3FiframeSizedToWindow%3Dtrue%26%3Aembed%3Dy%26%3AshowAppBanner%3Dfalse%26%3Adisplay_count%3Dno%26%3AshowVizHome%3Dno%26%3Aorigin%3Dviz_share_link&siteUrlName=THR-Tableau#1'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

and

Me and a coworker were editing the page, changing settings and ocassionaly the dashboards will load, but we couldn't ever figure out exactly what we were doing to cause them to load in Chrome.

I talked to our server admin and he says they're using SSL, but I'm not sure why the addresses in the error messages are returning http instead of https. Is that a problem, and if so how can it be fixed?

Thanks,

This is most likely an issue with a reverse-proxy (if you're using one) or Tableau's CORS settings. Chrome is absolutely a pain (i.e., strict) with cross-origin resources. You can ask your admin to configure CORS and add SharePoint to your allowlist, but it seems like this problem keeps recurring with Chrome updates.

@Tara Morton
Great review of details.

I am currently testing the Tableau MCP connector with Claude and wanted to document the issue we are experiencing and confirm the best supported path forward.

We have successfully added the official Tableau MCP connector/extension in Claude, and it works as expected in standard Claude Chat. However, when attempting to use Tableau through Claude Cowork, the Tableau tools are not available.

In Claude Cowork, we ran ToolSearch for the following terms:
Tableau
tableau-mcp
Tableau MCP
workbooks
datasources
published data sources
The result was that no Tableau tools were found. Claude Cowork also explicitly stated:
“I do not have Tableau MCP tools in my allowed tools list for this Cowork session.”
Based on feedback from Anthropic support, the likely reason is that the Tableau .mcpb Desktop Extension is designed for local Claude Desktop environments and cannot run in web-based Claude Cowork.

Please let us know the best supported implementation path, whether this is currently available, and any documentation or examples you can share.

Thank you in advanced.

Can I disable refresh button on Tableau toolbar (Salesforce embedded view)

Hi everyone/DataFam

Embedded a Tableau view (dashboard) into my org's Salesforce environment using LWC Seamless Auth method to enable the embedding.

Tableau dashboard successfully displays on the Salesforce Lightning page and in Salesforce App. Both locations include the Tableau toolbar which is needed for Exporting to Image/PDF/PowerPoint. However I want to disable Refresh/Undo/Redo buttons from the Tableau toolbar. Is this possible, or perhaps do I need to change my approach somewhere?

Reason I want to disable the refresh button is an automated filter is applied when the dashboard loads in Salesforce which filters the dashboard to the Salesforce record dashboard is being viewed from. Unfortunately the refresh button overrides the filter, causing the dashboard to become unfiltered to all records.

Hi, in this case, I would remove the toolbar, and I would add some buttons using the Download Object to allow the download of the image, pdf:

Something similar as this Tableau Public workbook:

Change the src dynamicalls for the tableau-viz component embed

I'm trying to work with the component embed for the component, but when the component first loads, i get the error:

A src needs to be set on the tableau-viz element. Skipping rendering.

But once the source is set, it never tries to re-render the element, if there a function I can call to rerender the element once the src has changed on the page?

@Eric Guerin

Hi, It seems you are trying to render the tableau-viz component without a src, and then you are trying to change the src.

What if you try to give first a src, that will render the iframe child object, and all the related code, and then you change the src.

If you are able to share your full code, we may have a better way to assist you.

How do I get all fields per workbook?

I would like to filter on a workbook and get all field names, regardless of field type (if the field is a calculation, get the formula too). The following GraphQL query doesn't work, but it is my best shot.

query bestattempt {
  fields {
    downstreamWorkbooks(filter: {name: "Random WB name"}) {
      name
    }
    name
    ... on CalculatedField {
      formula
    }
  }
}

Hi Caleb, try this:
query workbookFields {
workbooks(filter: {name: "testjuly19"}) {
name
sheets {
name
sheetFieldInstances {
name
... on CalculatedField {
formula
}
}
}
}
}
Use "datasourceFields" if you also want to include fields that were used in calculations but not actually on the worksheets.

How can I embed https://sample-website.com/#/home not the views pages in my website.

Hello Dear Community members,

I am newbie to Tableau, I am trying to learn how I can embed https://sample-website.com/#/home not the views pages in my website. I found share button in report/views but looking to show all the home icons in my website. Respective to what role or permission the user has the default home page / landing page icons should also be visible and they can traverse the respective reports.

Thanks in advance. I know Tableau gurus will help on this.

Regards

Pradeep

Hi there,
here is the Tableau Embedded Playbook.
Full documentation on how you can ebbed your dashboards in a website.
Here are few samples on how the variables for embedding can be changed (based on your shared code).
Here are the parameters for embed code.
For your example you need to embed this code:
<param name='toolbar' value='yes'/>
Values might be: yes; no; top

Not sure you can display them based on user access. But, if the website js can recognize the user you can programmatically change the value to 'yes' from 'no'.

Let me know if this was helpful and mark the answer.
thanks
Adrian
