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.
