Hi,
In an ADF pipeline, I use a Logic App to refresh a Power BI report via API. However, we are unable to replicate the same functionality in Fabric ADF.
Could you confirm if Logic Apps are supported in Fabric ADF? If not, what are the possible alternatives?
Thanks,
Girish

Hi @girishtharwani2,
Do you use LogicApps to refresh Semantic Model or Report? (I don't think there is REST API for refreshing reports). In Fabric, you can use 'Refresh Semantic Model' activity and entirely eliminate the Logic Apps.
And you use Web activity to call the Logic Apps in ADF right? Fabric can be used for the same. But using the above mentioned activity would be much simpler.

Hi @girishtharwani2,
May I ask if you have resolved this issue? If so, please mark the helpful reply and Accept it as the solution. This will be helpful for other community members who have similar problems to solve it faster.
Thank you.
Azure Logic Apps are not currently supported directly within Microsoft Fabric's Data Factory (Fabric ADF).
try using web activity in Fabric to interact with external APIs. You can leverage the Power BI REST API to refresh datasets or reports directly from a Fabric pipeline.
Configure the activity to make a POST request to the Power BI REST API endpoint for dataset refresh (https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{workspaceId}/datasets/{datasetId}/refreshes)
