hi Anonymous 

 

Your link describes the normal (non-enhanced) dataset refresh. The problem is that this only triggers the refresh, but doesn't provide any feedback on whether it was succesful or not. 

 

The enhanced data set refresh allows to do this by doing the process in 2 steps: first call the dataset refresh api using POST and including a body to trigger it as an enhanced refresh operation, and then call the data set refresh api using GET to check the status of the refresh, using the requestId from the first step (as described in the documentation link I provided),  but for some reason it doesn't work as documented in Power Automate (and does work OK in Postman).

 

So hope you or anyone else has an idea how to resolve this.

 

Thanks

Bart
