Power Automate Button Not Appearing
Hi, I created a Power Automate button on a PowerBI Desktop report so that user can refresh the dataset manually. They access the report via a PowerBI tab in a Teams channel. This has been working...

Just to recap
Issue: The Power Automate visual (native in Power BI) does not appear or function when a report is embedded in SharePoint, Teams, etc. The button is visible in Power BI Desktop or on the Power BI Service.
Solution: Hide the Power Automate visual and replace it with a regular shape-button in Power BI. Add a trigger to call a GET HTTP request to the Power Automate flow you want to run. Once the "call HTTP" action is created and saved, copy the URL and set it as the action for the new shape-button. This workaround resolves the issue with the missing button.
Downside: When the button is clicked, a new empty tab opens, which users will need to close.
