Question

How can additional users be notified when an extract fails to refresh on Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server?

Environment

Tableau Cloud
Tablea Server

Answer

1. Vote on the Tableau Community Idea to have this important option in a future release.
2.  Use email rules to forward the notification to other users. For example, in Outlook, you could create a rule that is applied to messages you receive with specific words in the sender's address (no-reply@tableausoftware.com) and specific words in the subject (Extract Refresh Failed). The action would then be to have these messages forwarded to people or public group (desired recipients email address(es).
