How do Tableau URL Actions work? Let's dive into how they work, what they can do and some creative ways you can customize them.

URL Actions in Tableau provide the ability to open a tab in a browser based on a user selection. There are loads of ways to set them up too. You can reference a full URL field from your data source, you can append a field to the end of a static URL slug, heck you can even generate a form email from within Tableau using fields in your data source!
