    Hi russellj kblackburn 

    Refreshing the semantic model doesn't trigger the refresh of the Dataflows therefore the data in the semantic model stays as it was if the dataflows weren't refreshed. That's why it is a must to refresh the dataflows then after all refreshes have terminated then trigger the refresh of the semantic model to get the up-to-date data.

You can use schedule refresh in Power BI instead of Power Automate, you just need to choos the good time schedules for both Dataflows then for Semantic models.

The OP indicated that this was for a non scheduled refresh situation. For scheduled refreshes yes, we are using power bi.  Thanks
