Power Automate Button - auto trigger once a day
Hi, Jano
Based on your description, you want to transition from manually triggering the Power Automate flow using a button in Power BI to automatically running the trigger every day at 6am. You can try the following steps.
1. To modify a Power Automate flow, log in to Power Automate, navigate to My Flows and locate your existing flow.
Select your stream to edit.
2. Change Trigger, Remove the existing "Click Button in Power BI" trigger and add a "Repeat" trigger, which can be found under the "Built-in" tab when you search for new triggers. When you search for a new trigger, you can find it under the "Built-in" tab....
3. Configure the Repeat Trigger to run every day by setting the Interval to "1" and the Frequency to "Days". For the Start Time, specify the time you want the stream to start running, e.g. 6:00 AM.
4. Reconfigure the operations, if the flow uses data passed from Power BI button clicks, you may need to modify the operations to ensure that they are compatible with the new triggers (e.g., you may need to generate a CSV from the report using the Export File to Power BI Report operation).

Hi Anonymous
from the documentation you linked I found this limitation:
"Create flows that you will use with the Power BI button trigger directly within the Power BI report. Do not go directly to Power Automate to create these flows as the trigger will not have access to the data fields necessary for creating the flow."
Seems like my request is not possible? Since it's the access to the data fields which gets lost when I change the trigger of the flow...
