Hi ram142more,
have you checked the documentation here if it helps? Trigger Fabric Items - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
Another thing I can recommend checking is to open the tag button and see whats available. If nothing then you first need to define a new property to use it in the message.
Hope this helps, if so, consider leaving kudos or mark it as solution.
Best regards!

Hi Mauro89 ,
I think the document link share by you is to trigger another Fabric Activity not Activator.
As simple, we have 10 pipeline which are running in ADF and create view in databricks to see list of pipeline are failed or success. base on that view we want to create alert for failed pipeline. As i am able to create alert base on count of failed pipeline through realtime monitoring dashboard.
but won't show the pipeline name because Alert create only on KPI, cards.- Mauro89Super User
Hi ram142more,
as of my knowledge and what I have looked up in the docs this is not possible with the activator variant (alert) from visuals like cards. If you follow along this documentation you will get a information that you need to upgrade the alert to be able to mention properties in the message you wanna send.
Link to the doc: Create Power BI alerts and refine them in Fabric Activator - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
Hope this helps, if so, consider leaving kudos or mark it as solution.
Best regards!

Hi ram142more,
Mauro89's point makes sense for a KPI/card alert, but I think the important limitation is actually the data being passed into Activator.
When an alert is created from a Power BI visual, Activator uses the visual's underlying query and turns the returned dimensions/measures into objects and properties.
So if your card only contains something like:
Failed pipeline count = 3then PipelineName is not part of that query, which is why typing @Pipeline . . . does not offer it. Upgrading the alert in Activator cannot add a field that was not present in the original monitored data.
I would try changing the alert source rather than the message itself. Microsoft now supports Activator alerts on table and matrix visuals, with the rule evaluated per row.
For example, create a table containing:
PipelineName | Status | LastRunTimeand create the alert from that visual for rows where Status = Failed. PipelineName then becomes part of the data Activator is monitoring and can be included as context in the notification.
Activator actions support referencing available properties with @ in the message.
So I would keep the KPI card for the summary view, but drive the actual failure notification from a row/dimension-based visual or query that includes the pipeline name.

Hi ShivekMaharaj ,
Thanks for the response.
I am using
Alert not allowed to create based on Table as you mentioned where i have all 3 columns.
It only allowed from KPI card where it only picked up numeric number only parameter.
Please check in below screenshot.

PipelineName isn’t in the KPI/Card query, so Activator has no way to reference it. If you need PipelineName in the alert message, you have to create the alert from a table or matrix that actually includes PipelineName, Status, and LastRunTime. Use the KPI for the summary, and use the table for the alert. That’s the right setup.
