[Centercode Guides to Endpoint Specific Systems](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#centercode-guides-to-endpoint-specific-systems) # How to integrate Centercode reports with Tableau This article applies to **Team** and **Legacy** editions. *Note that while Centercode’s integration features are intended to be approachable by a Customer Validation Professional, you might need to enlist help from an internal technical resource and refer to our* [*vocabulary and troubleshooting documentation*](https://help.centercode.com/understanding-integration-terms-and-troubleshooting-status-codes?hsLang=en)*.* Through Enhanced Integrations, Centercode's Data Packages offer the ability to create and share custom datasets for consumption by third-party systems. This is perfect for injecting bulk data into systems like Tableau, Domo, or Google Sheets to take advantage of their extensive analysis and visualization capabilities. Leveraging the Centercode Reporting engine, data updates can even be set to auto-refresh at regular intervals. The principles included in this guide apply to any API-capable "business intelligence" endpoint or third-party system that has the ability to connect to API endpoints for data consumption. In this example, we’ll be providing report data to **Tableau** using Tableau's Centercode Data Connector. In this guide, you will: 1. Create (or identify) an API Key in ***Centercode*** 2. Create a Data Package Report in ***Centercode*** 3. Connect your report’s API Endpoint to your third-party system in ***Tableau*** In order to configure both sides of this integration, you will need: 1. Access to an existing API Key or Community Manager access to create a new one 2. Project Manager access in the project of your choice (or your project template) 3. Appropriate access to Tableau or assistance from a Tableau Administrator \- ### Preparing Centercode to create data packages #### 1.   Creating an API Key From the Centercode side, the first step in *any* API integration is to ensure that you have an API Key available within your Centercode Community. While this integration doesn’t use an API key, your integration features won’t be visible unless one is available. If necessary, create a Community API Key by following the steps [outlined here](https://help.centercode.com/creating-your-community-level-api-key?hsLang=en). \- #### 2.   Creating a Data Package Report All Report creation is done on a **single** **page** and shows your data in real-time. You’ll create a custom dataset to be placed in your third-party system. **From your Community or Project Reporting:** 1. Click Add Report Element 2. Select **Datasource** from Feedback, User, or Project Elements 3. Select your **Data**, adding any relevant fields via the **Add** **to** **view** button 4. *(optional)* Add a **Filter** to narrow the results to specific criteria 5. Select the **Data packages** report style 6. *(optional)* Set a custom **Key** to identify this report 7. *(optional)* Add **Notes**, and/or **Usage Instructions** 8. Select a **Return Format** **JSON** formatted content is required for Tableau **CSV** formatted content is great for Google Sheets 9. Select the appropriate **Community API key** 10. Copy / Save the **API Endpoint URL** to be used by your external system 11. Save this report element to an existing or new report to make the Data Package available via integrations (needed in Section 3 below) You’ve just created your Data Packages API Endpoint. #### 3.   Connecting your data package endpoint to other systems **From your Tableau instance:** 1. Click **Web data connector** from the left-hand menu 2. Enter the full URL for your Centercode Platform, followed by “/global/reporting/tableau/web-data-connector.html” *eg:* [*https://test.centercode.com/global/reporting/tableau/web-data-connector.html*](https://test.centercode.com/global/reporting/tableau/web-data-connector.html) 3. Enter an appropriate **Connection name** 4. Enter an appropriate **Table name** 5. Enter **Data Package API Endpoint** from step 2.12 above 6. Click **Load data package** ![](https://t.gyazo.com/teams/centercode/e88f47b5fe8b9a0561e419719a4cb57e.png) Congratulations! You’ve added your data to Tableau. ### Notes - With the appropriate refresh interval settings on the report containing your Data Package, the data available to Tableau can be kept consistently "fresh" - refreshing Tableau will pull the *current* data contained in your Centercode Report - For **Google Sheets**, select the CSV Return Format to import your custom Data Package into a spreadsheet using this formula: *=IMPORTDATA (“\”)* ![](https://learn2.centercode.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio70393330e851fac838239ecc7b7e33fd6fN-G8yqOq7HqnrvEHxZ9rn0Yb7wh9N1rtAi3gkVUknsB2nAy2psichImXQOc8JUNeAInYim3rWg2eWQ5cWHg.gif) - Once integrated, if date/time data is displayed as a numeric value, you’ll need to change that column format from Numeric to **Date** *(*[*screenshot*](https://centercode.gyazo.com/cfb6937bc3f69b96cd1c619d5a2063b9)*)* - Customized data will be **overwritten** with the Data Package when refreshed. When using Google Sheets (or similar), we recommend maintaining a tab for raw data and another for formatted data - Notes and Usage Instructions allow you to provide guidance to those who use the Data Package endpoint you've created   - [Customer Training & Centercode Basics](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Customer Video Training](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#customer-video-training) - [Centercode FAQs](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#centercode-faqs) - [Centercode Basics](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#centercode-basics) - [Community Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Initial Configuration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#initial-configuration) - [Community Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#community-administration) - [Project Setup & Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Project Creation](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#project-creation) - [Recruiting](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#recruiting) - [Project Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#project-administration) - [Macros and Automation](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#macros-and-automation) - [User Management](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Surveys](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#surveys) - [Content & Resources](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#content-resources) - [Tester & User Management](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#tester-user-management) - [Feedback Management](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/feedback-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Feedback Collection](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/feedback-management?hsLang=en#feedback-collection) - [Feedback Triage & Moderation](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/feedback-management?hsLang=en#feedback-triage-moderation) - [Reporting](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/reporting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Delta Dashboards](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/reporting?hsLang=en#delta-dashboards) - [Custom Reports](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/reporting?hsLang=en#custom-reports) - [Enhanced Integrations & APIs](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Integration Center Endpoints](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#integration-center-endpoints) - [Single Sign-On Integrations](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#single-sign-on-integrations) - [Centercode Guides to Simple API Integrations](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#centercode-guides-to-simple-api-integrations) - [Centercode Guides to Endpoint Specific Systems](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#centercode-guides-to-endpoint-specific-systems) - [Enhanced Integrations Troubleshooting](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#enhanced-integrations-troubleshooting) - [Troubleshooting & Miscellaneous](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/troubleshooting-miscellaneous?hsLang=en) - [Announcements and Releases](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#main-content) - [C17 - The Delta Release](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#c17-the-delta-release) - [Centercode's GoEarly Program](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#centercodes-goearly-program) - [Update Archive](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#update-archive) - [Centercode Blog](https://www.centercode.com/blog) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://learn2.centercode.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Centercode_Logo_Icon_M.png?width=48&height=48&name=Centercode_Logo_Icon_M.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.centercode.com?hsLang=en) Centercode Help Center Copyright © 2026, Centercode
