Nice to meet you. I want to connect Airtable data to Tableau using Tableau’s Web Data Connector.
However, the following message is displayed and it is not working.

An error occurred while communicating with the data source
The web data connector returned invalid data.
Error code: 95BE3012
An error occurred while creating the object for class TableInfo. The input data for any of the contained objects is invalid. Either invalid data are present or required fields are empty for class ColumnInfo. Required fields and each data types are: {(Name:‘id’, Type: QString, IsRequired: true),
(Name:‘dataType’, Type: QString, IsRequired: true),
(Name:‘alias’, Type: QString, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘hidden’, Type: bool, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘description’, Type: QString, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘isPrimaryKey’, Type: bool, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘foreignKey’, Type: QVariantMap, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘columnRole’, Type: QString, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘columnType’, Type: QString, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘aggType’, Type: QString, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘geoRole’, Type: QString, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘defaultFormat’, Type: QVariantMap, IsRequired: false),
(Name:‘filterable’, Type: bool, IsRequired: false)
}

If you know the solution, please let me know.
What I did was try to connect based on the following URL.

I’m using Tableau’s Public Edition.

Thank you.

Hey @kenta_tanaka!

Welcome to the Airtable community.

Working through the API to connect Airtable to Tableau can be a little tricky. You might find our tool helpful here →

It turns Airtable into a Postgres database so you can connect your data to Tableau using Tableau’s first class SQL connector.
