How to set up a Pipeline that is using Dataflow Gen 2 as a trigger?

A Fabric Data pipeline cannot “listen” to a Dataflow Gen2 refresh that happened outside the pipeline and then auto-continue. In other words:

• If Dataflow Gen2 is refreshed by Power Automate (or manually), the pipeline won’t auto-trigger off that completion event.

• Pipelines currently trigger by manual run / schedule / (some) triggers, but not “on Dataflow Gen2 completion” as an event hook.

If DF1 must be triggered by Power Automate:

1. Trigger DF1 refresh in Power Automate

2. Poll/wait until refresh status = Completed (Power Automate often needs a loop checking refresh history/status)

3. Then:

   • Start the pipeline, or

   • Trigger Dataflow 2 refresh directly

Key point: you must explicitly “call the next step”; Fabric pipeline won’t automatically detect DF1 finishing.

First, grab the two IDs you need from Fabric:

• workspaceId = the GUID in the workspace URL

• itemId = the pipeline item’s GUID (you can usually see it in the item URL / “Copy link”, or retrieve it via Fabric item APIs if needed)

Then in Power Automate:

1. Create a flow (trigger can be manual, scheduled, or “when Dataflow refresh completes” if you already have that event).

2. Compose Ids

3. Add an action that can call a REST API with Entra ID auth (commonly HTTP with Microsoft Entra ID / a custom connector / or an app registration using client credentials).
