Trigger a refresh?

With all the new rich functionality available in Power Automate, I feel like there must be a way to trigger a Power BI Dataset refresh based on some condition in the database. For example, run a query and based on the result, kick off the refresh. Is this possible?

Hi @bvy ,

 

Power Automate can react to hundreds of triggers, you just need to find one that your DB can perform:

Once you can activate a trigger with your DB, you can then use the Power BI 'Refresh a dataset' action off the back of that:
