Need to create a power automate directly from power bi dashboard

Hi Team,

I hope you're doing well. I am new to Power Automate and would like to create a flow directly from the Power BI report(Power BI report created same like the sample data). The goal is to set up an automated process that sends email reminders to clinicians when a client is eligible for a form, with the email referencing the specific client ID.

I would appreciate any guidance or best practices you can provide to help me set this up.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi, @P_P2595 

Thanks for lbendlin's reply. Here are the specific steps to fulfill your needs:

Step1: Prepare PowerAutomate account (same as PBI Desktop account)

Setp2: Import the data into PBI Desktop, create a Calculate Measure to filter the objects you want to share the report with, and put the Email field and the Calculate Measure into the PowerAutomate visual object.

Yes.  In Power BI Desktop add a Power Automate visual, then add all the relevant columns and measures into the values well of that visual, then click on the ellipsis and edit the visual to create the flow. In the flow use the trigger payload to create and send your emails
