    Hi JCSchuman,

     

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

     

    If the test alert works but the actual alert never fires, the issue is often related to using a text condition in the trigger. Alerts created through Activator on a Power BI report generally work more reliably when the condition is based on a numeric value. A practical workaround is to create a measure that converts the text check into a numeric flag (for example, return 1 when the column contains “CRT3” and 0 otherwise) and then configure the alert to trigger when the value is greater than 0. This helps Activator detect the condition properly during dataset refresh because the rule evaluates changes in numeric values.

     

    Thanks & Regards,
