Salesforce and Tableau Integration
When we speak about Salesforce and Tableau Integration, in 2019, the two world-leading solutions Salesforce and Tableau, joined hands to help their customers see and understand their data better than ever before and help make more educated decisions by Integrating Tableau with Salesforce.
Since then, Salesforce and Tableau Integration has been evolving from the lens of better customer experience and making data more robust and actionable for businesses. From seamlessly syncing data between Salesforce and Tableau to visualizations that can help drive decisions at every phase of their value chain, users can also view these visualizations directly from within Salesforce CRM.
Read on to learn more about some of the most notable features of Salesforce and Tableau Integration and see how bringing these two tools together provides even more value.
