Webhooks with buttons/forms

it would be great if you could add buttons or even forms that are displayed in the dashboard. These buttons or forms would then send the data to a defined webhook that can be used to initiate simple internal processes. The idea would be to allow small interaction tasks to be executed from within the dashboard. Example use cases: - You could have analytics data from your mailchimp and you decide it would be great to send a newsletter (pre-made). By clicking a button send, a web hook is fired that could then be integrated (by the user, not by Microsoft) no send an e-mail campaign - You have integrated with GitHub and notice one repository has a pull request, you could accept - You have a social media feed coming in from Azure stream analytics and you want to be able to quickly retweet any interesting posts on your organisations twitter. You can then simply add a button for each row that will send the row data to a webhook that is listened by a Logic app (or any other software) that will then retweet the data.

  • This appears to be a better description of what this other idea is: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/18697996-command-buttons-on-dashboard
  • Another scenario, you have a powerbi list of hot leads or customers - and selecting rows of data in that list and pressing a button would execute a logic app, Flow, or generic webhook (as described above) to begin an automated email campaign or starts the process for customer service to reach out to one or many of those customers. The possibilities are endless
