Hi @Angadi ,

 

You can do that with the ADF pipeline or power automate.

No need to wait for scheduled refresh to occur - Automate the refresh of Power BI Dataset on Service just after the completion of ETL.

If you were able to receive a email once the ETL process is successful then you can check this approach.

Have the ETL send an email or post a file to sharepoint on successful completion.

 

Use Power Automate triggers to react to these.  Then in the Power Automate flow request a dataset refresh.

 

Obligatory caveat:  Requesting a refresh is asynchronous. It's just a request.  Power Automate will not wait for the completion of the refresh.  You need to build your own monitoring process for that.
