Cannot export Power Automate button to pdf

Hi community,

I managed to integrate a power automate flow in my power bi to export it to pdf, but it turns out that the pdf doesn't show the button but instead:

Does anyone how can I solve it? I tried to add a shape on top, but still...

Feels really bad actually.

Thanks in advance for any help 🙂

I believe it happens because of a limitation in the underlying Power BI API which is triggered by your Power Automate button, see here: Export Power BI embedded analytics reports API - Power BI | Microsoft Learn some visual types, including Power Automate visuals, aren't supported when exporting a report.

True story, it is a limitation. Many thanks 🙂

Hi @Victormar,

What happens if you use the default report export feature? Did these button shows correctly in exported files? In addition, any customize on these buttons? Please share some more detail to help us clarify your scenario:

Hello and thanks for your answer. Even if I export manually the button doesn't show. I also tried to map a shape or a button on top, and the same happens 😞
