I want to send an update to a specific email address if a data set from anyone within my team fails their scheduled refresh. For now, only the report owner receives these messages, but this is inconvenient if that person is not in the office. Hence, I created a generic email that my whole team has access to.
However, I want to know if I can automatically update all data sets within a workspace to send refresh failure notification to this email address instead of the data set owner. I know I can enable/disable the email notifications, but I do not know if I can set these notifications to a specific email address.
Thanks!!
I was hoping to get this information as well.
I wrote a powershell script that captures the state of the datasets so that if they change at a later date, we can roll it back. However, Refresh Failure Notifications values are not returned from the Power BI API's GET "Scheduled Refresh" requests, and there's no token in the API for sending them via PATCH.
We need a way to retrieve and assign emails that appear for "These Contacts" programatically. Is the API documentation incomplete or does this functionality not available yet?
I would like to also chime in and say how helpful it would be to add a way to update/set contacts to be notified on refresh failures in a programmatic way. The Update Refresh Schedule api is very nice but the only thing it seems to leave out is the ability to add contacts. Why is this? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/update-refresh-schedule
7 month later I also can't find a way to set the notification email address programatically.
Hmm, there are definitely options in and around dataset refreshes in the API but I don't see anything to change the email address being sent to:
You could take over ownership:

Hi, Is there any news on having the possibility to update the notification email address when a refresh fails?
we're deploying the datasets using a service principal, and it would be nice to set the notification addresses also with an API call, without using some other tools.
thanks
