Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

Because it is necessary to obtain the status of data refresh in real-time, it may be necessary to combine the Power BI rest API. Then, when the conditions are met, you can trigger your subflow which includes the action ‘Send an Email’. You can refer to this forum reply first.

Regarding how to call the Power BI rest API in Automate, please refer to this document ‘HTTP’ action.

For the Power BI rest API used to monitor the refresh status of the PowerBI dataset, please refer to this document.

No such trigger exists. You need to implement your own polling process.
