Not receiving email on Alert
vrossouw You could just use Microsoft Flow Just sign in -> My Flows -> Create from Blank -> Search "Power" -> select power bi "on trigger event" - Choose the Alert -> New Step -> Outlook (or some mail provider -> Choose action -> set up the email -> Create Flow
This will also allow you to send to multiple people. You should just be able to log in to Flow with the same creds.
vrossouw Are you a free or Pro user? What is the data source, I'm assuming the alert is set on a card tile... I'm just looking for some additional background to see what the issue might be, as I've never seen this.
Data source is One Drive, loaded in the service.
May it be because out BI login 'domain' is different to the email domain?
vrossouw Even if that is the case and you have creds in Azure AD that are seperate from you internal I would still assume that the Flow would work. But the first part of this is to get the Alert working... Have you "un-checked" the email option in the alert in PBI?
- Anonymous Hi, the alert is still ticked. I receive the notification in the service, but not on email.
vrossouw And when you log into Microsoft Flow, it is with the same account that you are using in Power BI. The alert shows up for you in Flow, but it throws an error?
Or only after you add the email task to it?
