Automated action after the dataset has refreshed

Is there a way after the dataset refreshes to export the report as pdf to a location on a network drive?

 

or at least to send a pdf in a email? Maybe the report in the body of the mail?

    You can accomplish that in Power Automate by either polling the refresh history (check the presence of an End Date for the most recent entry) or by using a custom connector to initiate an enhanced refresh. That will give you a request ID which you can then use in API calls to ask for the status.

      Thanks lbendlin however I cannot find "Refresh Dataset in Group".

       

      Guessing that is not the trigger?

      When setting up a flow I am asked to choose flow's trigger.
      This option is not there.

       

      Where the trigger in my opinion would be to see if a dataset changed.

        There is no trigger. Everything is done via polling.
