The repo definetely does exist. I can access it in a browser. My account is the admin/owner of the repo.

I have read somewhere that this app does not work with GitHub Enterprise. We use GitHub Teams plan/licensing.

 

This email was sent when the app tried to auto refresh:

 

 

An error occurred while processing the data in the dataset.
Refresh failed:

GitHub has failed to refresh.
Failure details: We cannot convert a value of type Record to type Text.

    It can be yes. I don't know the app but if they have configured a method from the API that needs special permission, licence, etc, you won't be able to get it. You can always connect to github yourself with the PowerBi Desktop connector or the Github Rest API.
    The last error is actually saying that there is a problem on the ETL side of the App. The Power Query script is having issues. It looks like you can't use that app with that repo. It probably is an app for regular free public repos.

    I hope that make sense
