Tableau release notes:

"You can run your flow from the command line to refresh your flow output instead of running the flow from Tableau Prep Builder. You can run one flow at a time using this method. This option is available on both Windows and Mac machines where Tableau Prep Builder is installed."

In this video, I show you how to do this for three different scenarios.
