Tableau Prep is a powerful tool for cleaning, structuring and preparing data for analysis in Tableau Desktop. The Tableau Prep Builder software provides the ability to create data workflows which can be run manually. That's fine when data is updated infrequently, but it doesn't work well when data needs to be refreshed every day or every hour.
The good news is that you can set up your Tableau Prep Flows to run automatically! It's going to require pointing the output to Tableau Server, publishing the flow to Tableau Server, and connecting your Tableau Workbooks to the Server-based data source.
