I wasn't looking for a workaround solution for the removal of a core feature, so I don't think having additional admins having to manually check the workspace for failures, or creating additional technical debt into my processes by adding some additional complexity through Power Automate and/or REST API calls when the solution was already there, in place, and removed.

I may have to create a solution using REST API and/or Power Automate and build that additional complexity, but I'm still kind of hoping Microsoft reverse the change as it is a really bad change.

    Hi Warren_Owen ,

    The current refresh failure notification settings for a Dataflow (Gen 1) in Power BI. The only available option is Send refresh failure notifications to"Dataflow owner" . Previously, there was an “Additional contacts” field where you could add multiple email addresses for failure notifications. That feature seems to be missing now.

     

    You are expecting the removed feature ("Additional contacts” field) instead of "Dataflow owner" in refresh failure notification settings for a Dataflow Gen 1 in Power BI.
