Power Automate Environment / Power BI
Microsoft just announced an update to the Power Automate visual and the functionality to choose environment is now there: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-automate-visual-ga-embed-workflows-directly-within-your-power-bi-reports/
Hi,
I found a solution.
Step 1 - get the "ID" of 2nd environment(the one that is not default), basically when you select it on the Power Automate page your URL will look like this https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx/flows
Step 2 - Open the Power BI Report at Edit mode on browser (it will not work on Power BI Desktop)
Step 3 - Go to the trigger of Power Automate inside of report and Edit, it will show you the list of flows on default environment.
Step 4 - Right click and "Inspect" to see the source code of the page, search for "Environment", in my case it's the 5th ocurrence. It's a iframe with a long address.
It starts with:
https://xxxxx.flow.microsoft.com/en-US/widgets/manage/environments/Default-yyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyy/flows?.....
Step 5 - Change the the part between "environments/" and "/flows" to the 2nd environment (got on Step1). It will refresh the iframe automatically and then you will see the list of flows on 2nd environment.
TESTED ON EDGE, I believe it works for Chrome and others.
If works for you give me a LIKE 🙂
I tried this and it worked to allow me to connecto to a different environment and launch the Power Automate, however it did not pass any of the variable I had selected to the Power Automate but instead shows this for the body:
Hi,
My case it's only a trigger with no variables. I would recomend to check if there is more instance of enviroment and flow URL and replace it as well. Also you can try to create a Automate Flow on the standard enviroment and in the different enviroment, and proceed with the steps above to migrate from one to another, but I'm not sure that it will work, you have to try...
Best regards.
