I'm trying to setup a flow to refresh a Power BI dataflow. I saw back in December that there was a preview for just such a thing however I cannot find any info on if it's released or how to add it:
Is there any news on the connector?
I'm on the government power bi if that makes any difference.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey @BenFox ,
sorry that was my mistake, I didn't read the question properly 😉
A data flow you can't refresh directly as an option, but you can refresh it with the API call.
For that you have to call the following REST API:
Dataflows - Refresh Dataflow - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs
This is also possible in Power Automate:
FYI to the community that there is a 'Refresh a dataflow' step now but it is not listed under Power BI.
Hey @BenFox ,
that's still possible in Power Automate. Just add a Power BI element and you will see it.
Here I did it as a demo. Had to pixel the workspace list as there was sensitive data, sorry for that:
how to wait or hold the second dataset or flow until first one is completed.
scenarios is there are 2 datasets in the flows
2nd one should start after 1st dataser refresh is completed
suggestion would be appreciated thanks
I think that only works for datasets, not dataflows...

I've used them for dataflows. You don't see the actions and triggers when you search "dataflow"? Maybe it's disabled in your tenet?
