Link to open Power BI iPhone App from Dynamics 365

[TomFranceschine]

My organization wants to set up a link in Dynamics 365 that will redirect users to a specific Workspace within Power BI. I've had success using the "Redirect" method described by Microsoft (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/mobile/mobile-apps-deep-link-specific-location) when clicking the link from the desktop, however from the iPhone I end up seeing the following error in the app:

Couldn't open link

Looks like we couldn't open this link. It may be broken or unsupported on this device.

I've tried a number of URLs, but the one that got us the closest to desired functionality was:

https://app.powerbi.com/Redirect?action=OpenApp&groupObjectId=*guid*

Note, we've successfully used Microsoft's method above to link to a specific report, but we're trying to also provide a link that will just display the user's list of available reports in a Workspace. Any advice appreciated.

Hey @TomFranceschine ,

The app does not support linking to a workspace, only to report, dashboard or app.

Have you consider publishing the workspace as App? This way you could use deeplinking to the app.

That's a really great suggestion. I will try implementing this and let you know!

Hi @TomFranceschine,

I think your requirement should more relate to development of power bi, you can consider using rest api to get all available reports of a specific workspace based on the user id.

Reports - Get Reports In Group 

I'm not so sure if these codes work well on dynamic 365, perhaps you can take a look at following blog if it helps:

Thanks for the reply, Xiaoxin! A json list isn't exactly what we're trying to accomplish. Realistically, we just want to redirect users from the Dynamics app to the Power BI app when they click a link. A list of reports from a REST request would just display them within Dynamics.
