Yes you can. But also, you will run into the same limitations with using Power Automate to trigger refreshes (they count as part of your scheduled refresh, rather than on-demand), which is a pretty big problem if your workspace is not premium, especially if you have a lot of users. 

If you're alright with the above condition, there's already a pretty in-depth guide on how to set up the Power Automate flow here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/refresh-your-power-bi-dataset-using-microsoft-flow/
