    Figured this out, simply add the below to the body. The app will initially need to be published for this to work:

     

    updateAppSettings = @{
                        updateAppInTargetWorkspace = $TRUE
                    }
     
    Typical full body:
     
    $body =
                @{
                    sourceStageOrder = $stageOrder
                    datasets = @(
                        @{sourceId = $datasetArtifact.artifactId }
                    )
                    reports = @(
                        @{sourceId = $reportArtifact.artifactId }
                    )        
                    options = @{
                        allowCreateArtifact = $TRUE
                        allowOverwriteArtifact = $TRUE
                    }  
                    updateAppSettings = @{
                        updateAppInTargetWorkspace = $TRUE
                    }
                } | ConvertTo-Json

    Check the pipeline and app exist by passing these artifact values into the function:

     

    # Get pipelines
            $pipelines = (Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url "pipelines" -Method Get | ConvertFrom-Json).value

            # Try to find the pipeline by display name
            $pipeline = $pipelines | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq $pipelineName}

            Write-Host "Pipeline Name: "$pipelineName
            Write-Host "Pipeline: "$pipeline

            if(!$pipeline)
            {
                Write-Host "A pipeline with the requested name was not found"
                return
            }

            # Get apps
            $apps = (Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url "admin/apps?%24top=500" -Method Get | ConvertFrom-Json).value
            #Write-Host "Apps: "$apps

            # Try to find the apps by workspace id
            $app = $apps | Where-Object {$_.workspaceId -eq $workspaceId}

            Write-Host "Workspace ID: "$workspaceId
            Write-Host "App Workspace ID: "$app

            if(!$app)
            {
                Write-Host "A app with the requested workspace id was not found"
                #return
            }
     
    Set the different deployment bodies:
     
    # Get pipeline stage artifacts
            $artifactsUrl = "pipelines/{0}/stages/{1}/artifacts" -f $pipeline.Id,$stageOrder
            $artifacts = Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $artifactsUrl  -Method Get | ConvertFrom-Json
            $ReportDisplayName = [io.path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($fileName)
            $reportArtifact = $artifacts.reports | Where-Object {$_.artifactDisplayName -eq $ReportDisplayName}
            $datasetArtifact = $artifacts.datasets | Where-Object {$_.artifactDisplayName -eq $ReportDisplayName}
            $reportArtifactId = $reportArtifact.artifactId
            $datasetArtifactId = $datasetArtifact.artifactId
     
    if($app)
            {
                $body =
                @{
                    sourceStageOrder = $stageOrder
                       
                    datasets = @(
                    @{sourceId = $datasetArtifactId }
                    )
                       
                    reports = @(
                        @{sourceId = $reportArtifactId }
                    )        

                    options = @{
                        # Allows creating new artifact if needed on the Test stage workspace
                        allowCreateArtifact = $TRUE

                        # Allows overwriting existing artifact if needed on the Test stage workspace
                        allowOverwriteArtifact = $TRUE
                    }    
                    updateAppSettings = @{
                        updateAppInTargetWorkspace = $TRUE
                    }          
                } | ConvertTo-Json
            }
            else
            {
                $body =
                @{
                    sourceStageOrder = $stageOrder

                        allowOverwriteArtifact = $TRUE
