Send Refresh Failure Notifications to Distribution List

[kpuhan]

It would be helpful to be able to set up a distribution list of those to send refresh failure notifications to. Currently, only the owner receives an email, but we have several administrators that require notification when certain reports fail.

Looks like the new workspace experience will solve for this with the concept on "Contact List" The new contact list feature, available in workspace settings or under advanced when creating a workspace, allows you to specify which users receive notification about issues occurring in the workspace. By default, any user or group with the Admin role in the workspace is notified, but you can customize the list. Just be aware that users or groups listed in the contact list will be shown in UI experiences in the future to help users get help related to the workspace. This feature is especially useful if you want to track through a group alias issues occurring in various workspaces so you can work with the workspace Admins to address users’ needs in a timely manner.

This is great idea. If we can receive notification mail to system administrator group address, it would be better.

When scheduled refreshes fail, the notification emails should have a Retry button so we can quickly determine if the issue is transient.

This would be great! So I won't have to check on every dataset if there were errors when refreshing every day!

this is the simplest thing to do. Should be done asap

I agree, this would be a useful option, by the way, thank you to those who share the tip about using outlook rules, in the meantime that help me fix the problem.

Yes, the notification should be sent to all admins and/or to a specific group

This is a no brainer for an enterprise solution

This irtem may be a duplicate as I noticed that this feature is already available.

You can use MS Flow to check the last run of a powerbi refresh
