Analytics Embedding SDK
Use the Analytics Embedding SDK to embed Tableau Next analytical components in any web page. This SDK supports typescript, javascript and HTML formats.
This version of the SDK is compatible with Salesforce API v65.0 and above.
Install
npm install @salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk --save
Usage
Note: The orgUrl parameter must be the Lightning URL (e.g., https://yourorg.lightning.force.com), not the my.salesforce.com domain URL.
TypeScript
import {AnalyticsDashboard, initializeAnalyticsSdk, type AnalyticsSdkConfig} from '@salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk';
const config: AnalyticsSdkConfig = {
authCredential: "<%- auth-credential %>",
orgUrl: "<%- org_url %>" // Must be Lightning URL
};
await initializeAnalyticsSdk(config);
// parentIdOrElement is the target container (ID or element) and idOrApiName is the identifier or API name of the component to embed.
const dashboard: AnalyticsDashboard = new AnalyticsDashboard({parentIdOrElement: 'embed-here', idOrApiName: 'My_Sales_Dashboard'});
dashboard.render();
JavaScript
import {initializeAnalyticsSdk, AnalyticsDashboard} from '@salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk';
const config = {
authCredential: "<%- auth-credential %>",
orgUrl: "<%- org_url %>" // Must be Lightning URL
};
await initializeAnalyticsSdk(config);
// parentIdOrElement is the target container (ID or element) and idOrApiName is the identifier or API name of the component to embed.
const dashboard = new AnalyticsDashboard({parentIdOrElement: 'embed-here', idOrApiName: 'My_Sales_Dashboard'});
dashboard.render();

AnalyticsDashboard: custom views and dashboard actions
Custom view ID (customViewId)
You can pass an optional custom view ID so the embedded dashboard opens with the
same saved filter state (custom view) as in Tableau Next. This aligns with share
links that include a customViewId query parameter, and helps preserve dashboard
interactivity when embedding in other surfaces (for example Slack).
TypeScript / JavaScript — set customViewId on the dashboard props (or assign
dashboard.customViewId after construction):
const dashboard = new AnalyticsDashboard({
parentIdOrElement: 'embed-here',
idOrApiName: 'My_Sales_Dashboard',
customViewId: 'f5f0e1234aabcde67890'
});
await dashboard.render();
HTML — use the custom-view-id attribute on <analytics-dashboard>:
<analytics-dashboard
id-or-api-name="My_Sales_Dashboard"
custom-view-id="f5f0e1234aabcde67890"
height="500px"
></analytics-dashboard>
If your app parses a dashboard URL, read the customViewId query parameter and pass it
through as shown above.
Dashboard button actions
Configure actions on the dashboard in Tableau Next using
Salesforce Help: add actions to a dashboard.
Dashboard actions (buttons configured on the dashboard) are supported in third-party
embedding. That includes actions such as Salesforce Flows, page navigation, and
URL navigation, consistent with the embedded dashboard experience in Tableau Next.
AnalyticsAgent
The AnalyticsAgent component embeds your Analytics and Visualization agent powered by Agentforce. It helps users understand data through natural language insights, visualizations, and proactive alerts.
The agent supports two operating modes:
- Single-context mode — Provide
contextConfig to bind the agent to a specific dashboard, metric, or semantic model.
- Multi-component mode — Omit
contextConfig to automatically track all embedded AnalyticsDashboard and AnalyticsMetric components on the page.
TypeScript
import {
AnalyticsAgent,
AgentContextType,
initializeAnalyticsSdk,
analyticsEventTarget,
EventName,
type AgentProps,
type AnalyticsSdkConfig
} from '@salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk';
const config: AnalyticsSdkConfig = {
authCredential: '<%- auth-credential %>',
orgUrl: '<%- org_url %>'
};
await initializeAnalyticsSdk(config);
const agentProps: AgentProps = {
parentIdOrElement: 'agent-container',
idOrApiName: '<%- agent-id %>',
contextConfig: {
contextType: AgentContextType.DASHBOARD,
contextTypeIdOrApiName: 'My_Sales_Dashboard'
},
showHeader: true,
showHeaderActions: true,
agentName: 'Sales Insights',
welcomeText: 'Ask me anything about your sales data.'
};
const agent: AnalyticsAgent = new AnalyticsAgent(agentProps);
agent.render();
JavaScript
import {initializeAnalyticsSdk, AnalyticsAgent, AgentContextType} from '@salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk';
const config = {
authCredential: '<%- auth-credential %>',
orgUrl: '<%- org_url %>'
};
await initializeAnalyticsSdk(config);
const agent = new AnalyticsAgent({
parentIdOrElement: 'agent-container',
idOrApiName: '<%- agent-id %>',
showHeader: true,
showHeaderActions: true,
agentName: 'Sales Insights',
welcomeText: 'Ask me anything about your sales data.'
});
agent.render();

AgentContextType
The AgentContextType enum specifies the type of analytics asset to bind the agent to:
AgentContextType.DASHBOARD | Dashboard context |
AgentContextType.METRIC | Metric context |
AgentContextType.SDM | Semantic Model context |
Styling with AgentStyleTokens
Use the styleTokens property to theme the agent UI:
const agent = new AnalyticsAgent({
parentIdOrElement: 'agent-container',
idOrApiName: '<%- agent-id %>',
styleTokens: {
containerBackground: '#faf5ff',
headerBackground: '#ede9fe',
headerBlockTextColor: '#5b21b6',
messageBlockInboundBackgroundColor: '#ede9fe',
messageBlockOutboundBackgroundColor: '#7c3aed',
messageBlockOutboundTextColor: '#ffffff',
messageInputFooterSendButton: '#ec4899'
}
});
agent.render();
Restarting the Agent Session
Call startNewAgentSession() to programmatically restart the conversation:
await agent.startNewAgentSession();
Multi-org Support
The SDK supports embedding components from multiple Salesforce orgs in a single application. Use orgConfigs instead of a single orgUrl and authCredential:
import {
initializeAnalyticsSdk,
AnalyticsDashboard,
AnalyticsVisualization,
AnalyticsAgent,
AgentContextType
} from '@salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk';
const initPayload = {
orgConfigs: [
{
orgUrl: 'https://org1.lightning.force.com',
authCredential: 'https://org1-frontdoor.salesforce.com/...'
},
{
orgUrl: 'https://org2.lightning.force.com',
authCredential: 'https://org2-frontdoor.salesforce.com/...'
}
]
};
const response = await initializeAnalyticsSdk(initPayload);
const dashboard = new AnalyticsDashboard({
parentIdOrElement: 'container1',
idOrApiName: 'Dashboard1',
orgUrl: 'https://org1.lightning.force.com'
});
dashboard.render();
const visualization = new AnalyticsVisualization({
parentIdOrElement: 'container2',
idOrApiName: 'Viz2',
orgUrl: 'https://org2.lightning.force.com'
});
visualization.render();
const agent = new AnalyticsAgent({
parentIdOrElement: 'container3',
idOrApiName: 'Agent1',
contextConfig: {
contextType: AgentContextType.DASHBOARD,
contextTypeIdOrApiName: 'Dashboard1'
},
orgUrl: 'https://org1.lightning.force.com'
});
agent.render();
Note:
- The
orgUrl is required when creating components in a multi-org scenario, to ensure your component connects to the correct org.
Adding Orgs Dynamically
You can add new orgs or retry failed orgs after initial SDK initialization using retryOrAddOrgs:
import {retryOrAddOrgs} from '@salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk';
const newOrgs = [
{
orgUrl: 'https://org3.lightning.force.com',
authCredential: 'https://org3-frontdoor.salesforce.com/...'
},
{
orgUrl: 'https://org4.lightning.force.com',
authCredential: 'https://org4-frontdoor.salesforce.com/...'
}
];
const response = await retryOrAddOrgs(newOrgs);
console.log(response.status);
The retryOrAddOrgs function returns the same BootstrapResponse format as initializeAnalyticsSdk.
Response
The initializeAnalyticsSdk function returns a BootstrapResponse object:
const response = await initializeAnalyticsSdk(config);
{
"message": "Sdk Initialize Complete",
"status": "Success",
"orgStates": {
"https://org1.lightning.force.com": {
"state": "INITIALIZATION_SUCCESS",
"reason": ""
},
"https://org2.lightning.force.com": {
"state": "INITIALIZATION_SUCCESS",
"reason": ""
}
}
}
console.log(response.status);
console.log(response.message);
if (response.orgStates) {
response.orgStates.forEach((state, orgUrl) => {
console.log(`Org ${orgUrl}: ${state.state}`);
});
}
Sample response:
{
"message": "Sdk Initialize Complete",
"status": "Success",
"orgStates": {
"https://org1.lightning.force.com": {
"state": "INITIALIZATION_SUCCESS",
"reason": ""
},
"https://org2.lightning.force.com": {
"state": "INITIALIZATION_SUCCESS",
"reason": ""
}
}
}
Status values:
Status.SUCCESS - All orgs initialized successfully
Status.PARTIAL_SUCCESS - Some orgs initialized successfully (multi-org only)
Status.FAILURE - Initialization failed
MFA and password reset (auth redirect)
For a single org or multiple orgs, Salesforce may require an extra step before the session is valid—such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) or a forced password reset. In that case initializeAnalyticsSdk can return a non-success overall status while the affected org appears in response.orgStates with:
state: AUTH_REDIRECT (see OrgStates.AUTH_REDIRECT when importing the enum)
redirectUrl: org-provided path (often relative)
redirectOrigin: origin to combine with redirectUrl
What to do
- For each org entry in
AUTH_REDIRECT, send the user to the challenge UI, typically by opening ${redirectOrigin}${redirectUrl} in a new window or tab (popups may be blocked; fall back to a full tab).
- After the user finishes MFA or password reset and the browser session is established for that org, resume the SDK by calling
retryOrAddOrgs for that org.
Credentials when retrying
- Normal retry: pass a fresh frontdoor URL (or equivalent session credential) as
authCredential together with the same Lightning orgUrl.
- After MFA / password reset: once the session exists in the browser, you can retry with the Lightning org URL as the credential:
{ orgUrl, authCredential: orgUrl }, without generating a new frontdoor URL first. If that retry does not succeed, obtain a new frontdoor URL and retry with it.
The retryOrAddOrgs response uses the same BootstrapResponse shape as initializeAnalyticsSdk, so you can inspect orgStates again for any remaining AUTH_REDIRECT or errors.
Logout
The SDK provides a logout function to log out from Salesforce orgs. The function returns a LogoutResponse with the same structure as BootstrapResponse.
import {logout} from '@salesforce/analytics-embedding-sdk';
const response = await logout();
const response = await logout(['https://org1.lightning.force.com', 'https://org2.lightning.force.com']);
console.log(response.status);
console.log(response.message);
Sample response:
{
"message": "Log out for all orgs complete",
"status": "Success",
"orgStates": {
"https://org1.lightning.force.com": {
"state": "LOGGED_OUT",
"reason": ""
},
"https://org2.lightning.force.com": {
"state": "LOGGED_OUT",
"reason": ""
}
}
}
