I'm having a hard time getting Data Activator to work on my account. "Data Activator (Preview)" is enabled in my admin portal and my report graphics show the "Set alert" option. When I click "Set alert" I get a pop up that says "Upgrade to a free Microsoft Fabric trial". When I click "Upgrade", I get a "Fabric Trial license creation failed... start_trial_error".
If I go to my username in the admin portal is shows that I already have the Microsoft Fabric (Free) license on my account. Has anyone run into this problem?
