Can Power BI send report creation, dataset refresh events to external apps?

[svir]

Hi. I have a web app with embedded Power BI reports which needs to react on report creation, dataset refresh events. Does Power BI provide any way to send such events to external apps (for example, via webhooks, etc.)? Unfortunately, I can’t find any information about this issue in the official documentation. I’d be grateful for any feedback. Many thanks

Hello @svir , 

There are couple of ways am aware of..

1. In Power Automate, you can create a new flow that gets triggered by a Power BI dataset refresh, search for trigger "When a dataset is refreshed".

2. Use the Power BI REST API to track the refresh history of a dataset

I request you reserch more on this this might give you more information you are looking for.

If you find this helpful , please mark it as solution which will be helpful for others and Your Kudos/Likes are much appreciated!

Thank You
