Auto Refresh Visuals in Report without Direct Query?

[DataStraine]

Edit: I tested the functionality of scheduling an e-mail when the data is refreshed and it didn't work when republishing the underlying data.

I have a report that I only refresh on demand because I store the files that use to build the report on my local computer and then use Python and PBI to wrangle the data. Is there a way to set up a subscription on the report to send an e-mail to users when the report has been updated? It seems like that isn't possible based on the documentation, but I wanted to make sure.

Hi @DataStraine 

You can create a subscription to run with the report is updated?

When creating the subscription you can select Frequency as shown below:

And if you do want to send this out to other users you could use Power BI Premium, or you could use Power Automate to send this email onwards to other users?

I tested the functionality and it didn't send an e-mail when the data was refreshed. The docs make it sound like that the function only works for scheduled data refreshes, which isn't possible for this report.
