Solved: Power Bi to power automate

navya8285 · ‎10-16-2025

When I trigger Power Automate from Power BI, I’m passing the data correctly I can even see it in the Power BI table view. But in Power Automate, when I use triggerBody(), it shows an empty object. Why is that? I’ve tried multiple demo flows, and this issue happens only with one dashboard. In all other dashboards, the data passes to Power Automate correctly. Here, it always shows null.

triggerBody()?['entity']?['Power BI values']?[0]?['Years'] amd i tested with only

Hi @navya8285 ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thank you @lbendlin for your response.

This usually happens when the flow is created using the new Power Automate designer, which has a known issue where triggerBody() doesn’t capture data from Power BI correctly. Try recreating the same flow using the classic designer, and it should work as expected.

Also, double-check that the Power Automate visual in Power BI has at least one field mapped under the “Fields” pane, if it’s blank, the trigger won’t receive any data.

If it still shows null, please share a quick screenshot of your flow’s trigger setup and Power BI visual configuration (no sensitive data needed) so we can help spot the mismatch.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out for any further questions.

Thank you .

Make sure you are not using the New Designer in Power Automate. That one is known to cause empty trigger bodies.

Not enough detail about the setup in either Power BI or Power Automate.

Please provide more details.
