Ability to send mail alerts using custom visual
I suppose that is possbile to implement but you must use some 3rd party library to connect to email server.
Please note such feature would work if and only if the report is opened.
As an alternative, you might subscribe any dashboard and get email once the data is changed (documentation).

Thanks for the reply v-viig. I think we have to set the data refresh frequency in subscriptions to once every hour or once a day. Will it be possible to do something which can send an alert for data changes in real-time? Also, if I create a custom visual can I get real-time data changes by just opening the report and not refreshing it again and again?
I'm not sure if it's possbile to get data in real time.
v-chuncz-msft Do you happen to know how we can get data in real time?

Is it possible to create alert on such chart in Power BI, because as of now I know that only KPIs, cards and gauges can create alert. Please provide link if alerts can be created on bar graph

Let's try to find an approach that is not related directly with Power BI.
If I had such task I would create an embeded visual and modified it to add specific attributes in some tag for critical values, then I would analyzed DOM by external code to look for my attribute and if it was found, I would do anything then, send an e-mail for instance, because I will not be limited by visual reuirements in that case.
