Refresh dataset using Flow

suhail_ma · ‎06-05-2017

Is it possible to refresh dataset in Power BI using 'Flow'?. If yes how to do so?. If no, Is there any other way to refresh dataset with any trigger like 'update'?

I know, it is an old topic.. but: you can use Flow to trigger a dataset refresh by making a http call to the Power BI API:

Hi @suhail_ma,

Current power bi not support to use flow to refresh.

>>If no, Is there any other way to refresh dataset with any trigger like 'update'?

Perhaps you can try to use scheduled refresh, below is the reference link:

@Anonymous Thanks for your reply.

I'm looking for an option to refresh data at any time with a trigger when a person updates the data from anywhere(say some other applications).

Me too. Must see if that can be voted on.

I do not see that option:
