Power Automate Visual in Power BI – Can a Flow Return a Custom Message Back to Power BI?
No, the Power Automate visual only triggers the flow. It does not have a return channel to display a custom message inside the report. Once the flow starts, Power BI just shows its generic status indicator and the flow output stays in Power Automate.
A few common workarounds: have the flow send a Teams message, email, or push notification with the confirmation; have the flow write a status row to a table (SharePoint list, SQL, Dataverse) that a small tile in the report reads on next refresh; or embed a Power Apps visual instead, since Power Apps can call the same flow, receive the response, and display it back on the canvas.
If this helped, a thumbs up and accepting the solution would be appreciated.

As Shai_Karmani mentioned, this isn't possible with the Power Automate visual in Power BI. Here's one more option to consider.Translytical task flow supports this - you can show a message in the Power BI service once the function finishes running. To do this, you'll need to rebuild your Power Automate logic as a Python-based User Data Function in Fabric.
