Accelerators and extensions can also be accessed from within Tableau Server and/or Tableau Desktop. Let us dive right into Tableau Exchange and see what it has to offer!

Tableau extensions

Extensions are the oldest product and are accessible from the Object pane on your Tableau dashboard. Basically, extensions allow you to use third-party tools directly in Tableau. Some selected extensions are available at https://extensiongallery.tableau.com, and the list is always growing.

Please be aware that Tableau does not provide support or guarantees/security measures for extensions. Those APIs are built by external parties and should be treated as such. Check with your IT security team first if you want to use them at work.
