Power BI Alerts Configuration
Dear all, How are you?
I am approaching you because of some doubts I have about the generation of Power BI alerts, as a context I have a Pro license and according to the documentation I can create alerts on my visualisations.
But every time I want to create an alert, my workspace activates Data Activator, which tells me that I must obtain a Microsoft Fabric license.
My question is, there is no longer an alert option for Pro licenses, as I have read the documentation on generating alerts and nowhere does it indicate the need for Data Activator and Microsoft Fabric.
I leave here the documentation to which I refer, please if there is documentation that I have not found or information necessary to make a decision I remain attentive.

PS: I have tried with all types of models, imports or Direct Query, connecting to another semantic model and in all of them it sends me to Microsoft Fabric's Data Activator.
Hi, Ivancito112
If you set up alerts directly in the report, you do need to use Fabric free trial or you can choose a workspace with Premium capacity:
The corresponding words in the official documentation are:
You have a Pro license, and you can pin your visuals into a dashboard:
What is actually called in the report is the Data Activator, which is a component of Fabric, and if you need to use it, you naturally need a Fabric license.
In addition, I can provide you with another way to set up an alert:
With Power Automate:
Integrate Power BI data alerts with Power Automate - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
