Refresh dataset with API and failure notification
There is everything fine with mail.
Most probably i don't have email delivered because service user for execution of API requests has been created with Active Directory, not with https://dev.powerbi.com/Apps
Even if i create user with https://dev.powerbi.com/Apps, the only one user, who created service principal will know, that there is something wrong with refresh, not the dataset owner.
So for now this feature is not mature enough to refresh datasets in real world.

I don't think you had mentioned that you are using a service principal for the refresh request. I'll check with our developers that use a similar setup.
My contacts say the same thing - when you use a service principal to request the refresh no communication will be sent out at all.
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature. If you have a Pro license you can consider raising a Pro ticket at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/pro/
lbendlin Any luck on this? I'm calling a refresh request using a service principal. Request is called from Azure Data Factory pipeline using a webactivity with the following setting:
No mail is received by the Owner or any additional contacts specified in powerBI scheduled refresh. Refresh of the dataset is completed correctly.
Thank you for your response, too bad it doesn't work at this moment in time.
I will probably be raising a ticket and hope for change!
