Alert from dashboard with Pro user
- 1 year ago
Hi Anonymous ,
yeah, alerts used to be available for Pro users, but now they’re mostly tied to Premium per user (PPU) or Fabric trial features — even if your workspace is Premium, your license still needs to support it.
right now, with just a Pro license, you won’t be able to set up native alerts from dashboards or visuals.
a few workarounds you can try:
- use Power Automate with a scheduled refresh or DAX-based condition to send an email or Teams notification when a threshold is hit
- if your data is in a semantic model, you can create a measure like AlertFlag = IF([Value] > threshold, 1, 0) and trigger logic based on that
- or export the data to Excel/SharePoint and use alerts from there (not ideal, but works in some cases)
if you have access to a Fabric trial or PPU license, you can test the native alert feature again — it should show up in the visual header menu.
let me know if you want help setting up a Power Automate flow — happy to walk you through it.

Hi Anonymous
Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
Users with a Power BI Pro license working in a Premium workspace can set up data-driven alerts if certain requirements are met. These alerts are available only for Card, KPI, and Gauge visuals that have been pinned to a dashboard in the Power BI Service (app.powerbi.com). After pinning, alerts can be managed using the “Manage alerts” option in the ellipsis menu on the dashboard tile. Other visuals, like bar charts, line charts, and tables, do not support alerts, which is expected. For threshold-based notifications on these unsupported visuals, organizations can use Power Automate to create custom workflows that send notifications via email or Microsoft Teams.
