    Hi  JohnyB 

    Once permissions are granted, the minimum setup required is:

     

    • Create a Deployment Pipeline (a blank pipeline is sufficient for testing).
    • Assign one workspace to the Development stage only.
    • Ensure you have Pipeline Admin permission,Workspace Admin permission on the linked workspace.

Hello JohnyB 

 

Power Automate + Power BI REST API (reliable + flexible)

 

 

  • Create a scheduled flow (e.g., every 30 mins) or trigger after the dataset refresh completes.

  • Add “Send an HTTP request to Power BI” action:

    • Method: POST (or as required by the Update App operation)

    • URL: Power BI REST API endpoint to update the app for your workspace

    • Auth: Use a service principal or service account with proper permissions

  • Optional: Add a step to notify your team (Teams/Email) on success/failure.
