How to Get Access Token

How to Get Access Token

An access token functions like a password, allowing the Tableau Connector to retrieve data from the monday.com API.

monday.com provides 2 types of tokens: an App token, which is the regular access token you get once you start using Tableau Connector for monday.com, and a Personal token, which helps accelerate data export.

When exporting a large amount of data, you may encounter an errors or a slowdown in the export process due to API rate limits. To increase the API rate limit, you need to obtain a Personal token.

Even if you obtain a Personal token, to connect to Tableau Software, use your App (access) token.

How to Get Personal Token

Despite being called a Personal token, it actually functions as an account token since all users on the instance can use it. Therefore, if two users are exporting a large amount of data simultaneously, the data export process might slow down.
