Hi @Avivek 

If you use a Power BI button to trigger the flow, the refresh will only be started when someone click the button. Instead of triggering the refresh by a button, you can try the suggestion @davehus has provided to create a scheduled cloud flow to start the refresh at scheduled times. Reference: Run flows on a schedule in Power Automate - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

Hi @Avivek ,

When click on create a new flow, you'll get an option create a scheduled cloud flow. You enter the time parameters and then add your refresh step as below.

If this has answered your question, please accept my answer. 🙂
