Custom URL on Dashboard Tile does not come thru Alert data as Tile URL
I have set up Flows to trigger on Dashboard Alerts. The flows create work items and alert emails.
Since I cannot retrieve the row data from Power BI table, I need a link in the work item to link back to a filtered table (different filters for each alert).
Since Alerts can only be used on numeric data types, I have the filtered tables pinned on the dashboard as well as row counts for each table. I copied the URL of each filtered table while in focus view and set the Custom URL of each count tile to link to the focus view of its respective focused filter table.
In my flow, I want to use the Tile URL to link back to the filtered table (the Custom URL that I set), but the Url that is sent goes to the focus view of the Count Tile.
Custom URL for Count Tile (upon which the alert is set):
https://---.powerbi.com/groups/---/dashboards/---/tiles/53232313---/infocus
Url recieved by flow:
https://---.powerbi.com/MobileRedirect.html?action=OpenTile&groupObjectId=---&dashboardObjectId=---&...e2efa521---&OpenAppFromWindowsPCAndTablet=false&context=Flow
Final destination:
https://---.powerbi.com/groups/---/dashboards/---/tiles/e2efa521---/infocus
53... is the url of the filtered table in focus
e2... is the url of the count tile in focus
How can I send my users back to the filtered report table without copying and pasting 11 urls into 11 flows (i have 11 filtered tables on the dash)? Why is the custom Url not being sent to flow?
