    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.
