Automate refresh when new data comes in

Hi there.

 

I would like to get ideas on how I could refresh automatically the data on my open Power BI dashboard if a new flat file comes in.


Basically, I have a dashboard using data coming from a flat-file that gets updated randomly. With my dashboard already open using the "old" data, I would like it to get refreshed automatically if/when new data comes in, instead of having to click on "refresh" manually. 

 

Is there a direct long route way of doing this?

      Hi, v-frfei-msft 

       

      No, unfortunately, this does not seem to work for us. Basically, the flat file is created from a python script running within Power BI.

       

      Ideally, we would need a script to run within PowerBI to click on refresh automatically,
