notifyOption on rest API doesn't work

Hello,

 

I'm using the Power BI rest API to refresh some dataflows, according to the documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dataflows/refreshdataflow

 

I populate the groupId, the DataflowID as parameters, and set the body as:

{
	"notifyOption": "MailOnCompletion"
}

 

The objective being to get a notifcation (email) once the refresh is done, wether it's a success or a failure.

 

When I do this, the refresh is triggered as expected, but I never receive the email once it's done. I've tried on Dataflows that voluntary have a fail refresh, or working; with "MailOnCompletion" or "MailOnFailure", but it never worked.

 

I tried on Postman as well, and directly and finally on the "Try it" feature from the documentation, as shown on the screenshot:

Any idea?

@Anonymous ,

 

I have made a test and could reproduce this issue, I will report internally and update here when I get any response.
