Hi All,
I have Tableau Server version 2025.3.5 installed on a Linux server. From the dashboards, I can see that it is possible to create a subscription and receive an email with a PDF or image attachment containing a snapshot of the dashboard.
Is it possible to receive the same email with the dashboard snapshot attached in PowerPoint (.pptx) format instead of PDF or image format?
I do not want to perform this task manually. Instead, I would like to receive the subscription email with the dashboard snapshot automatically attached as a PowerPoint (.pptx) file.
Also, if this functionality is not currently available, do you know whether support for PowerPoint attachments is planned for a future Tableau Server release?
Hey @Tommaso Scarlato,
As far as I know, Tableau Server subscriptions currently support PNG images and PDF attachments, but not PowerPoint (.pptx) attachments. I haven't seen a native option for delivering subscription emails with a .pptx file.
If PowerPoint output is a requirement, a common approach is to use the Tableau REST API or another automation tool to export the workbook and generate a .pptx outside the subscription framework.
I also haven't come across any public roadmap or announcement indicating that .pptx attachments are planned for future Tableau Server releases, so that would likely require a custom solution for now.
