How to use 'old' Power-BI alerts? (Data Activator not working)

Hi,

I've been trying to build a flow in Power Automate with a Power-BI connector. The trigger that I want to use needs a 'Power-BI alert ID'. So far so good.

 

However, when I create a new alert on a visual, I only get the new Data Activator option, which does not have an 'alert ID'.

 

I see that Data Activator is designed to do exactly what I want to make in Power Automate, but I just can't get it to work, more people have trouble with Data Activator.

Therefore my question:
Is there any way to not get the Data Activator prompt whenever I want to create an alert on a visual? I'd like to use the old Power-BI Alert that have ID's, so that I can use it in Power Automate.

Thank you.
