Text not shown in activator Alert msg

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 = 3

then 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 | LastRunTime

and 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.
