Tableau Refresh Failure Agent with Hermes

This is a read-heavy job with one short write at the end: two fetches, a site-wide query, and a Slack note in four named sections. Hermes offers capable general reasoning over real connected tools, and the reasoning asked of it is modest, namely deciding which of the failures in that window belong to a single cause.

Live demo

Watch it work before it's live

Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

  3. Escalation rules

    Which dashboards the business actually watches and who to tell when they go stale - your critical projects and the teams behind them, your quiet hours, and the first check you want suggested for credential failures and timeouts.

  4. Runs on Hermes

    Preselected for this page — connect your Hermes account during setup, or switch to NoClick's built-in models with one click.

  5. Watch it handle a test run

A considered pairing

Why Hermes for this agent

Grouping is the thinking

Concluding that eight datasources share a connection and one does not is the only inference in the run. Everything either side of it is fetching and formatting.

Reads wide, writes once

The agent changes nothing in Tableau and posts a single message. A wide read with a narrow write is a shape any capable general agent handles.

Good to know

Before you fork

Does anything about our data leave Tableau?

It reads job records and datasource metadata, which means names, projects, owners, connection details and error strings. It never opens an extract or reads a row of your data. What reaches Slack is the note itself, so the sensitive part is usually the connection string, which is an argument for pointing the escalation rules at a private channel.
