Alert/Notification Capability on Power BI
Hi All,
Does Power BI offer any type of alert/notification capabilities? For example, there is an increase in transactions that we would want to know about sooner than later.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Anonymous ,
You could set alerts in Power BI Service to notify you when data in your dashboards changes beyond the limits you set.
You could set alerts on tiles in your My Workspace. You can also set alerts if someone shares a dashboard that's in a Premium capacity. If you have a Power BI Pro license, you can set alerts on tiles in any other workspace, too. Alerts can only be set on tiles pinned from report visuals, and only on gauges, KPIs, and cards. Alerts can be set on visuals created from streaming datasets that you pin from a report to a dashboard. Alerts can't be set on streaming tiles created directly on the dashboard by using Add tile > Custom streaming data.
Only you can see the alerts you set, even if you share your dashboard. Similarly, the dashboard owner can't see alerts you set on your view of their dashboard. Data alerts are fully synchronized across platforms. You can set and view data alerts in the Power BI mobile apps and in the Power BI service. They aren't available for Power BI Desktop. You can automate and integrate alerts with Power Automate. If you want to try it yourself, see Power Automate and Power BI.
Note: Alerts only work on refreshed data. When data refreshes, Power BI looks to see whether an alert is set for that data. If the data has reached an alert threshold, Power BI triggers an alert.

Yes, this is possible on a limited number of visuals using a Power BI Dashboard (not report).
Here is additional information:
