API driven dataset refresh sends mail notification / alert regarding refresh status

[nstreling]

Dear Community,

Please help me out with your expertise corresponding to code driven dataset refresh notification feature of Power BI Service API Endpoint(s).

In my current project a mail notificiation should be sent to dedicated groups of subscribers as the refresh process gets failed or completed.

I am aware of mailing notification service is available in case of scheduled refresh, however my scenario is a bit different.

Do you have any clue how it can be bridged over?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Norbi

Use the standard API calls

1. initiate a dataset refresh request

2. Poll the refresh history to see if the latest item has completed

3. Once completed, send your email or initiate other actions (like cascading refreshes)
