Data driven alert with direct query data

Hello

Is it possible to trigger alerts when data is in direct query or mixed mode?
Changing mode is not feasible, because of size of data.
If no how can that be done?
Regards
Juan

Hello @v-csrikanth 
Sorry.
I resolved it with another approach. I design a visual with filter "show all below value of 10" and then run a flow. 

This made the trick

Have a great day

Hello @bhanu_gautam 
Hope you are doing well. Thank you very much.
This is the explanation to dataflow: Creating a dataflow - Power BI | Microsoft Learn right?
How to do that with Power Automate?

@Heinrich In Power BI, triggering alerts directly on data in DirectQuery or mixed mode is not natively supported. Power BI alerts are typically set on dashboards and are based on data that is imported into Power BI. 

 

You can create a dataflow to pre-aggregate or pre-process your data and then import the results into Power BI. This way, you can set alerts on the imported data Or you can use Power Automate
