You can connect Tableau to your Via Kondado destination through Kondado's PostgreSQL endpoint (kdb.kondado.io). You use Tableau's native PostgreSQL connector and your destination token as the password. Once connected, your destination tables are available to build data sources, sheets and dashboards.

Before you start

• You need an active Via Kondado destination in your account. If you don't have one yet, see how to create Via Kondado.
• Have your destination's access token ready — it will be used as the connection password. It is the same token used for the other access methods. See how to get your token.
• Use Tableau Desktop (Windows or macOS). Tableau uses the PostgreSQL connector; on some versions you may need to install Tableau's PostgreSQL driver (Tableau shows the download link if it is missing).

Connection details (keep these for the steps below): Connector: PostgreSQL • Server: kdb.kondado.io • Port: 5432 • Database: kdb • Username: any value (e.g. kondado) • Password: your Via Kondado destination token • SSL: required (check “Require SSL”).

Step by step

1. In Tableau, on the Connect pane, under To a Server, choose PostgreSQL. If it isn't listed, click More….

2. Fill in the connection dialog exactly like this:

• Server: kdb.kondado.io
• Port: 5432
• Database: kdb
• Authentication: Username and Password
• Username: any value, e.g. kondado
• Password: your Via Kondado destination token
• Check the “Require SSL” option — the SSL connection is required

3. Click Sign In. Tableau opens the Data Source page, showing the public schema and your destination tables on the left.

4. Drag a table onto the canvas and click Update Now to preview the data. We recommend using a Live connection to query the source directly.

5. That's it! Go to a Sheet and drag dimensions and measures to build your visualizations.

After connecting

• All of your destination tables appear in the public schema. Your Via Kondado saved queries also appear as tables.
• You can build sheets and dashboards, create calculated fields, apply filters, aggregations (SUM/COUNT/AVG), date bucketing (year/month), JOINs/relationships across tables and TOP N. To exercise filter pushdown to the source, prefer the Live connection.
