Integration
Connect Outline and Tableau
When New Collection fires in Outline, your agent runs Run Extract Refresh Task in Tableau, or New Data Source in Tableau to Create Document in Outline. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Outline and Tableau to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.
Set it up in your client
Claude Code
Run this in the directory you want to work in.
claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Questions
Outline and Tableau, answered
What can start an automation from Outline?
Any of Outline's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Collection, New Comment and New Document. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Tableau when something happens in Outline?
Any of Tableau's 18 actions, including Create Project, Create Workbook Refresh, Update Project and Update User. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Tableau to Outline?
Yes. When something happens in Tableau, your agent can act in Outline too. This page covers both directions: Tableau's triggers and Outline's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Outline or Tableau?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Outline and Tableau without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
