Automated Message When Requesting Access to Reports
Good morning
Is there a way to send an automated reply when someone requests access to a report. I know you can do this with an App but can't see anything for reports. I just want to add a mesasge with instructinos what to do and a URL
I've looked to see if there is a way to do this but can't see anything
Many thanks
Karen
Hi KarenFingerhut ,
You can leverage Power Automate to create a flow that sends an automated email response when a request for access is detected. This would involve monitoring for access request emails and using the email trigger to send a predefined message with instructions and a URL. While this requires a bit more setup and familiarity with Power Automate, it offers a flexible solution to your requirement. For starting points on using Power Automate with Power BI, you might find this guide useful: Export and email a Power BI report with Power Automate.
Hope it helps!
