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...

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.

Hi EvgeniAb , I'm facing this very issue and tried to do what you suggest, but I can't figure out how to call my PowerBI button triggered flow from the http request flow, can you please explain to me how to do that?

I will really appreciate it.
