Automatic PDF Export of Power BI using Power BI Rest API

Hi All,

 

I am trying to Automate a process which would export a Power BI report in PDF format and send an Email on scheduled basis with that PDF as an attachement and i think it is possible using Power BI Rest API Method. Could anybody help me out on how to achieve this?

 

Or is that possible with Power Automate? If yes Please let me know how to do it. It would be really helpful.

 

Thanks in Advance

Prakash
