Power BI Notification System

[Anonymous]

Can anyone please help me to create a notification system so that whenever user uploads a file in OneDrive and Power BI gets the data through schedule, power BI sends a email to the user along with the pdf version of data captured by Power BI

Hi， @Anonymous 

Here is a  tutorial of using the new refresh a dataset action to automate refreshing a Power BI report based on changes to a SharePoint list or updates to an Excel file in OneDrive or SharePoint Online.As mentioned in this tutorial,it have added a new Refresh a dataset action to the Power BI connector for Microsoft Flow. It will be able to trigger dataset refreshes based on hundreds of Flow triggers. 

While it is not supported to automatically send PDF export of refreshed report email in in Power BI currently unless the report is a Paginated Report.Someone told restApI can be helpful.I have not tested it.

You aslo  can vote for  this related idea.

 Scheduling the dashboard reports into shared location or email by exporting into pdf/excel

Maybe as an alternative, subscriptions may work for you

Hi @blopez11 ,

Thanks for the quick reply

The files are getting uploaded on OneDrive once a week, and different units are uploading it at different times. Now I have been asked to create a system which will send the email only to the unit who has uploaded the data and the email should contain a pdf version of the visual based on the data uploaded and nothing else.

Can you please guide me how can I create subscription in this scenario

For that you may have to investigate the approach that @Greg_Deckler  mentioned, "Power Automate"

@Anonymous Sounds like a Power Automate thing. Has hooks for all of those things.
