Configure CORS in Salesforce.com for Einstein Discover Integration in Tableau Server

In version 2021.1.0 the ability to integrate Einstein Discovery predictions into Tableau Dashboards was added. You can do this using the Einstein Discovery dashboard extension. A prerequisite for this is configuring Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in the Salesforce org that hosts Tableau CRM and includes the model and predictions that are going to be used.

This procedure explains how an administrator in a Salesforce.com organisation would do this configuration. You can find more information about CORS in the Salesforce documentation, Configure Salesforce CORS Allowlist(Link opens in a new window).

  2. In the left navigation column, search for "cors" and select CORS .

  3. In CORS, in the Allowed Origins List section, click New.

  4. In CORS Allowed Origin List Edit, enter the URL of your Tableau server, beginning with "https://".

    For more information about the URL pattern, see the Salesforce developer documentation: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-gb.chatterapi.meta/chatterapi/extend_code_cors.htm(Link opens in a new window)
