Dataflow (deprecated)

In previous releases, you could configure the destination to use an Tableau CRM dataflow to combine multiple datasets together. However, using dataflows is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend configuring the destination to use the append operation to combine data into a single dataset.

An Tableau CRM dataflow includes instructions and transformations to combine datasets. Create the dataflow in Tableau CRM. Then when you configure the Tableau CRM destination, specify the name of the existing dataflow. The dataflow should not contain any content, as the Tableau CRM destination overwrites any existing content.

By default, a dataflow runs every 24 hours. However, you can configure the dataflow to run each time the destination closes and uploads a dataset to Tableau CRM. In Tableau CRM, you can run a dataflow a maximum of 24 times in a 24 hour period. So if you choose to run the dataflow after each dataset upload, make sure that the configured dataset wait time is more than an hour.

For more information about creating dataflows, see the Salesforce Tableau CRM documentation.
