Hello @Anonymous,

For Power Automate flows inside of Power BI, the flow can only be triggered by a button inside Power BI and data cannot be added to the email from in Power BI. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-automate-visual?tabs=powerbi-desktop

If your goal is to just send an email that has static text - I have a flow that does this: 

The flow must be created from inside Power BI as stated in the link. Does this make sense?
