Integration
Connect Tableau and VideoDB
When New Data Source fires in Tableau, your agent runs Add Collection in VideoDB, or New Video Uploaded & Indexed in VideoDB to Run Extract Refresh Task in Tableau. 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 Tableau and VideoDB 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

Questions
Tableau and VideoDB, answered
What can start an automation from Tableau?
Any of Tableau's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Data Source, New Job, New Project and New User. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in VideoDB when something happens in Tableau?
Any of VideoDB's 21 actions, including Create Highlight Clip, Upload & Index Video, Add Collection and Add Overlay / Watermark. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from VideoDB to Tableau?
Yes. When something happens in VideoDB, your agent can act in Tableau too. This page covers both directions: VideoDB's triggers and Tableau's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Tableau or VideoDB?
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 Tableau and VideoDB 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.
