I have a Power BI dataset using import mode, a SQL datasource, gateway and schedule refresh.
It works wonderfully.
I have an Appian system that updates the SQL datasource ad-hoc.
I would like Appian to trigger the Power BI refresh immediately after each update.
Have any of you triggered a refresh from Appian?
Perhaps using either using a htts link or API plug in.
Can you provide instructions, examples or screen prints?
Please understand that I am not asking how to refresh data from SQL or Appian … I know how to do that.
I am just asking how to trigger a fresh from Appian
Many Thanks.
@speedramps not sure how Appian works but if you can make a RestAPI call from Appian then you can use API Enhanced refresh with the Power BI REST API - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
