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:

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis
