Power Automate Visual sending empty data

Hey

Known MS bug :
https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Power-BI-data-not-flowing-to-Power-Automate-on-Power-BI-button/m-p/3824990

not something you broke. It's a conflict between the new and old Power Automate designer modes. If the flow ever gets saved via the new designer (happens silently when you open it from make.powerautomate.com instead of via the PBI visual), the trigger gets corrupted and body.entity comes through empty. That's why rebuilding doesn't help , the new flow gets bitten by the same bug.

Fix without rebuilding:

1. Open the flow from inside the Power BI Power Automate visual (Edit on the visual and then Edit flow). Not from Power Automate directly.
2. Delete the "On Power BI button clicked" trigger.
3. Re-add it from the visual editor and re-bind your fields.
4. Save and make the last action before saving be re-selecting the data/array field. Anything edited after that re-selection re-corrupts it.
5. Test via Ctrl+Click on the button in the report (the "Run" inside the designer always sends an empty body  don't trust it).

Going forward: only ever edit the flow through the PBI visual, never from Power Automate directly. That keeps it pinned to the old designer.

If this helped, a thumbs up and accepting the solution would be appreciated.

Best,
