Alerting - options for sending data driven alerts or emails to users?
Hi OneWithQuestion ,
You are correct that a person can set up an alert for themselves and not others. And, there are only certain visuals types that can have an alert created on them. This article explains how you could add a flow to the alert.
Set up data alerts for the Power BI dashboard - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs
But, i am wondering if a subscription might be able to report what you want? To make this be as sepcific as you are suggesting though I would have a separate report for just the stale data and then have that as part of a subscription that goes out (daily if desired).
I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

For the subscriptions, this is still in PBI right?
So I'd make a PBI report that is basically a data gride with a list of exceptions and if any rows populate (rows only populate for exceptions or issues) then it sends out the report.
If the report is empty, the subscription runs, but there is no data so nothing is sent?- collinq5 years ago

Hey OneWithQuestion ,
I was thinking that the subscription runs regardless of what is in the report - the subscription is not based on the data. I guess you would have to test a subscription with a report that has no data in it.
